Long overdue thank you to @dhpictures for this sweet tabloid of his most recent series titled Auto Show. We’ve been a friend and huge fan of Don’s work for quite some time, having worked with him back in the day at @taylordesignct. He has an uncanny ability to capture thoughtful, introspective candid moments in his commercial work, and a Becher-esque dogma of cataloging lost and forgotten objects in his art. Thanks Don! How did you know we’re such suckers for newsprint?

The St. Joseph School Acts of Kindness campaign is an opportunity for students to raise funds for their school and in return for any support received, pay it forward through acts of kindness. They invited us to create a few typographic lockups and illustrations to use on various marketing materials.

For a T-Shirt design to kickoff the campaign, we wanted to show that St. Joseph School was The Place where many Acts of Kindness happen. Then somewhat of a happy coincidence happened. Playing around graphically, we kept repeating the lines of the heart. Eventually, we noticed the outmost contour morphed from a heart to that of a location beacon. Love actually does exist!

A year ago today we packed up the home office and signed the lease on this little studio on Glen Road. While rent isn't our favorite, we kind of like it here — It's especially cozy and welcoming during the Holidays. If you're ever in Sandy Hook, stop on by. We'll pour a couple cups of dark roast and talk typography.

LinkedIn profile pics are about to get sharp in CT! At our AIGA CT Community Meeting last week at Reverie Brewing in Newtown, CT, special guest Lisa Nichols, AKA Bread & Beast Photographer, AKA @bread_and_beast, set up a makeshift studio to take everybody's headshot. (Yes, we finally got to work with her!) We had over 50 people join us to mingle, celebrate the holidays, and talk all things design.

Board members met this past Sunday, at the sweet space provided by @districtnhv. Co-presidents @ijacinabear and @jordinstah led a group session with Gerrit de Vries, @rachaelconti2, @imsaraaaa, @jennyjreed, and @melanieuribe. Excited to kick off a new year of programming with AIGA CT — If you're an @aigact member, look for design goodness to come!
