Blade Runner Favorite Movie of Top Designers
For every two graphic designers, it seems, there are three opinions.

As usual, it […]

Arresting Graphics: Orange Is The New Black
Every time I watch Orange Is The New Black — the exceedingly popular tv comedy-drama based on the prison memoir — I try to match up the women’s faces in the opening credits with the characters in the show.

It’s getting late on a Tuesday afternoon and I’ve now spent an hour trying to get this story started, staring at my screen. But why am I so hung up on nailing the first few sentences?
