<p>This week, as I was browsing <em>The New Yorker</em> magazine’s site for covers</a> (thanks to the curiosity sparked by <a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/2012/06/06/the-art-of-the-new-yorker-magazine-covers/" target="_blank">one of our articles</a>), I saw this <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/06/loving-ray-bradbury.html" target="_blank">tribute</a> to Ray Bradbury written my Junot Diaz. It was an intimate look at how he is well-loved by his fans and friends. Of all the tributes I read about him this week, one that discussed his answer to a question on passing a legacy to future generations is my favorite — </p> <p> </p> <p><em>“If you don’t read or write, you can’t be educated, you can’t care about anything — you’ve gotta put something in people’s heads so the metaphors bounce around and collide with each other and make new metaphors. That’s the success I’ve had of daring to put different metaphors together, mashing their heads together, saying, ‘Oh my god, I didn’t think of that — how wonderful!’”</em></p> <p>  </p> <p>Continue learning and discovering new things by signing up for our <a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/signup/" target="_blank">monthly newsletter</a> and subscribing to our <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/YouTheDesigner" target="_blank">RSS Feed</a>.

<p>Logo design is made up of different defining aspects – from the designer’s influences and personal whims, to the design’s colour and its shape. We’ve discussed how logos are defined by colour and shape in our <a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/2012/06/05/logo-design-the-color-and-the-shape/">previous post</a>. This time we’d like to talk about the file types and the things that you ought to know when you’re designing a logo for different media.</p> <p> </p> <p>As technical as these two graphic design terms may sound, they’re actually very simple. Raster graphics are basically made up of pixels, the things you see on your screen, the rough edges that you see on an image when you zoom in too much. On the other hand, vector graphics are made up of lines and anchor points that are auto-adjusted by Adobe Illustrator (or any other vector software editor you’re using) when you’re resizing your work. That’s the basic gist of raster and vector graphics, but let’s delve deeper into the abyss and know where and when to use them, and on what project, aside from logo design, you can use them.<br />  </p> <p><center><img alt="Sample Raster Logo via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26546" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/full_ps.jpg" title="Sample Raster Logo via YouTheDesigner.com" /></center><br /> <em>Upon first inspection, raster and vector graphics will basically look the same way. The difference becomes apparent once reproducing the design becomes an issue.</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><br /> <h3>Raster Graphics</h3> <p></strong></p> <p>If you’re going to zoom in on an image, you’ll notice that the edges become more pixelated. This is because most images (JPEG, JPG, PNG, etc.) are rasterized to allow an artist or photographer to manipulate the image using a graphics editing software, like Adobe Photoshop.</p> <p> </p> <p>A raster graphic image is made up of pixels, with each pixel having only one colour. This means that if you have fewer pixels in your image, you’ll have lesser colour and a low quality image. Otherwise, you’ll have a perfectly crisp and sharp image.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Why it’s not for any logo project</strong></p> <p>The primary concern in using raster graphics to create your logo design is the resolution. As I’ve mentioned before, rasterized images tend to be more pixelated or jagged on the edges. Resizing will be the main problem when it comes to reproducing a rasterized logo. You may be able to produce high resolution image on Photoshop, but you’ll never know how big the logo needs to be in actual production.</p> <p> </p> <p><center><img alt="Sample Raster Logo via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26546" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/zoom_ps.jpg" title="Sample Raster Logo via YouTheDesigner.com" /></center><br /> <em>A logo design that’s created using Photoshop will show pixels once you zoom in within the image. This becomes an issue when you need to create a larger design from your original.</em> </p> <p> </p> <p>Another issue is professional quality. If you’re designing logos as a professional, you’d aim for the best quality and using a raster file for your project doesn’t help your cause. As mentioned earlier, upon closer inspection rasterized images would eventually produce pixelated images. This’ll reflect your knowledge about industry standards and practice, which is better that you know it now, than later.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>What’s it for?</strong></p> <p>Photos and graphic rendering are done in raster graphics. Because of the extensive colour manipulation capabilities of raster graphic editors, they’re apt tools in adding and editing colours, tones, and textures on images, and photos. Usual projects done in Adobe Photoshop are web design, promotional graphics, and your usual illustration colour rendering.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><br /> <h3>Vector Graphics</h3> <p></strong><br /> In simple terms, vector graphic images are collections of lines and anchor points that make up a whole image. The lines serve as your drawing’s outline and the anchor points control where your lines should go. It’s similar to how the Photoshop pen tool works. If you’re familiar with it you’ll be fine, if not it’s time you work on it.<br />  <br /> The anchor points and lines that make up a vector graphic image are manipulated through mathematical calculations (done by the software you’re using, no worries), which make the image done in vector to be scalable to any size.<br />  <br /> <strong>Why it’s used in creating logos</strong><br /> Because of the ease in resizing a vector graphic image, logo designers find it easier to reproduce a logo in any size, any time, without losing quality. Aside from resolving sizing issues on a logo design, editing it will be a lot easier. Logos made in vector graphics are more adaptable and streamlined when applied to different media – from promotional prints and corporate stationery, like <a href="http://www.uprinting.com/business-cards.html?utm_source=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youthedesigner.com%2F&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=gdm_ytd_0612" target="_blank">business cards</a> and letterheads, to web design applications and other media.<br />  </p> <p><center><img alt="Zoomed in Vector Logo via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26549" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/zoom_vector.jpg" title="Zoomed in Vector Logo via YouTheDesigner.com" /></center><br /> <em>Vector Graphics’ primary strength lies on its scalability. Since you’ll be applying the logo on different media, you’ll have to create different sizes of the same design. But if you’ve created the logo design as a vector graphic, size and scaling issues are easily resolved.</em><br />  </p> <p><strong>Other applications</strong></p> <p>Most conceptual artists directly sketch their work on vector graphic editors and just render them on Adobe Photoshop, or other raster graphic editors. Because of the power combination of Adobe Illustrator’s intuitive drawing tools that work best with a tablet – this makes it easier for artists and illustrators to create sketches, concept designs, or adding details to a drawing easier.</p> <p> </p> <p>Look out for our other logo design posts for the month of June.

<p><em>The New Yorker</em> is one of the few magazines that featured illustrated cover art since its first issue in 1925. 47 issues are released yearly, and each cover is composed of the magazine’s iconic nameplate, a full bleed illustration, and a narrow vertical strip of color on the left. The design, type, and style of the magazine from 1925 until today depicts <em>The New Yorker</em>’s social and cultural awareness, thanks to one man. The signature typeface is Irvin named after its creator, Rea Irvin, who also served as the magazine’s first art director and also created the Eustace Tilley portrait that graced the cover of the first issue. </p> <p> </p> <p>Tilley appears yearly on the cover of the issue closest to February 21, the magazine’s anniversary, except in 1994. He is a dandy wearing a morning coat and a top hat. On the initial cover and succeeding anniversary issues, he’s seen peering keenly at a butterfly with his monocle. </p> <p> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Rea-Irvin-NY-02-21-1925.jpg"><img alt="Rea Irvin NY 02-21-1925 via YoutheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26418" height="834" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Rea-Irvin-NY-02-21-1925.jpg" title="Rea Irvin NY 02-21-1925 via YoutheDesigner.com" width="600" /></a></center></p> <p> </p> <p>What we like most about the covers of <em>The New Yorker</em> is how its current Art Director, Françoise Mouly, asks the artists she works with to not hold anything back in their sketches. The results are often covers that inspire discussion, sometimes even earning the ire of the easily-offended. </p> <p> </p> <p>Issues of <em>The New Yorker</em> have become collectibles because aside from chronicling political and cultural developments, they also make great <a href="http://www.uprinting.com/poster-printing.html?utm_source=youthedesigner.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=gdm_ytd_0612" target="_blank">posters</a> and wallpaper art.

<p>I know I just ripped the title off Foo Fighters’ 1997 album. But what can I do? I find the album’s title relevant to graphic design, particularly in logo design. If you’re going to look closely at any logo, it’s actually the color and the shape that define a logo’s uniqueness and memorability.<br />  <br /> The primary aim of a logo is to be distinguishable and memorable to the public. Most logos designed today look simple yet effective in portraying the company they represent. Just look at logos from companies that in the food industry and notice the dominance of the colors yellow and red on their logos. These colors are used by companies because of their effects on human judgment and behavior, especially to appetite.<br />  </p> <p><strong>The Psychology of Color</strong></p> <p>There have been various studies regarding the effects of colors on a person’s performance, attitude, and behavior. One particularstudy shows how the colors red and blue affect a person’s performance in different tasks. It proves that colors, in one way or another, do have an effect on people.<br />  </p> <p><center><img alt="Color Infographic from Print Media Centr via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26367" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/color-infographic.png" title="" /></center><br /> <em>You can check out more about different colors and their corresponding effect and meaning on Infographic: The Psychology of <a href="http://printmediacentr.com/2011/02/infographic-the-psychology-of-color-for-web-design/" target="_blank"><em>Color for Web Design</em></a></em><br />  <br /> Companies have learned to use these psychological studies and have applied them in their modern branding. You’ll notice that different companies today align their designs based on classic and proven design tactics — from using red and yellow for the food industry, blue for corporate and finance businesses, and so on.<br />  <br />  <br /> <strong>Shape and Details</strong></p> <p>We recognize logos by the form they take, next to that we remember the color normally associated with them. An ideal example would be the Coca-Cola logo. Every time we see the Spencerian script used on their bottles and cans we automatically remember the brand. Other examples would include much of the social websites that we use every day – from Facebook’s “F” on a blue backdrop to Twitter’s “T” on light blue and so on.<br />  </p> <p><center><img alt="Logo Typography: Logo on Pico from Maniackers Design via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26371" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/pico-on-twitter.jpg" title="" /></center><center>(<a href="  <em>Pico – the typeface that was used to create Twitter’s logo, it has been modified to accommodate the hip and informative site that provides real time news and information.</em><br />  </p> <p><center><img alt="Logo Typography: Logo on Pico from Aaron Hunt via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26368" height="249" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/kavika-on-facebook.gif" title="" width="450" /></center><center>(<a href="http://webdevrefinery.com/forums/topic/2708-large-icon-for-facebook/page__p__18934#entry18934" target="_blank">Source</a>)</center><br />  <em>Facebook’s logo is from a modified Klavika typeface. It was tailored to make the whole look and feel of the logo more streamlined. </em><br />  <br /> As companies and other entities invest in getting themselves and their products online, proper branding further becomes a necessity. As the web is a more graphic place than the real world, people will be more attracted to proper, compact, and well-designed logos that suit their lifestyles.<br />  <br />  <br /> <strong>Color vs. Shape?</strong></p> <p>An important issue in creating a corporate logo is choosing between type- or symbol-based designs. There are different advantages between these two types of logos. We’ve featured an article before presenting how typographic and symbol logos work, and how a choice combination of both works for different companies as well. However, the color and the shape of a logo are inherent elements of a company logo. Since the logo will represent the breadth of the company, it will visualize the type of business, the philosophy, and the commitment of the company to its vision and goal.<br />  </p> <p><center><img alt="Logo Design: Open University London Logo from David Airey via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26370" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/logo-minus-color.jpg" title="" /></center><br />  <br /> <em> An example from David Airey’s article, <a href="http://www.davidairey.com/what-makes-a-good-logo/" target="_blank"><em>What Makes a Good Logo?</em></a> the logo used above can be considered as a flexible and dynamic logo. Even without the color or accompanying text it still stands out as a logo for the Open University.</em><br />  <br /> In creating a logo, the designer must always consider that his design may be used in different media by the company. These media may range from corporate stationery, such as business cards and letterheads, to print and digital advertisements, company products, and so on. In this context, the logo’s design must be flexible to the different constrains that these media provide. </p> <p> <br />  <br /> <strong>Design for Flexibility</strong></p> <p>I’d prefer a logo that’s flexible and dynamic – a design that requires little to no alteration, and that is relevant to both time and the company’s target market. If you’re going to look at decades – or even century old companies, you’ll notice how most of them barely changed their logo. Ideal examples are GE and Levi’s branding.<br />  </p> <p><center><img alt="Campbell Letterhead from Letterheady.com via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26366" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/campbells-letterhead.jpg" title="" /></center><center>(<a href="http://www.letterheady.com/post/10723103372/campbells" target="_blank">Source</a>)</center><br />  <em>Campbell’s Soups’ logo is so flexible it’s been used as a <a href="http://www.uprinting.com/letterhead-printing.html?utm_source=youthedesigner.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=gdm_ytd_0612" target="_blank"><em>letterhead</em></a> by the company.

If he chooses to apply a combination of shape, type, and color, it’s his call. But a designer must also learn that his client will still have the final say on the logo’s final form. </p> <p>If you’ve got logo design tips you’d like to share with us, or some interesting logo design facts, just hit us up via <a href="http://www.facebook.com/youthedesigner" target="_blank">Facebook </a>or <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/youthedesigner" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. </p> <p>We’ve planned a month-long series of articles related to logo design, so make sure to subscribe to our <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/YouTheDesigner" target="_blank">RSS Feed</a>, too! </p> <p>  Read more posts by <a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/author/cadence/" rel="author">Cadence Wu</a></p><img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/YouTheDesigner/~4/6mHc3Fd5abI" width="1" />

<p>As I was going through some blogs I follow, I noticed that one of them brought up this question: If you had to take one <a href="http://www.uprinting.com/poster-printing.html?utm_source=youthedesigner.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=gdm_ytd_0612" target="_blank">poster</a> that was on your wall in middle school and hang it in your house today, which would you choose? I thought hard about it, and came up with two photos I had on my wall when I was growing up. The first is a photo of Paul McCartney with a baby peeking out of his jacket, and the other is the John Lennon and Yoko Ono Rolling Stone magazine cover. Both photos made me think of the women who took them, and their careers in a male-dominated industry.</p> <p> </p> <p>Each of the three women photographers featured in this article took hundreds of photos that show a plethora of emotions on subjects that are often relatable yet sometimes offbeat. Read on and enjoy the photos of Linda McCartney, Diane Arbus, and Annie Leibovitz. Tell us about your favorite photographers and their work through <a href="http://facebook.com/youthedesigner" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/youthedesigner" target="_blank">Twitter</a>!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Linda McCartney</strong></p> <p>Linda McCartney is an accomplished artist in her own right. She’s remembered for many things such as her animal rights activism and vegetarianism, and she captured photos of the Swinging Sixties depicting that era during its heyday. The fact that she’s married to a Beatle (and the cutest Beatle, at that) did not overshadow her talent in photography. Her images include those of some famous musicians such as the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and Aretha Franklin.</p> <p> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Brian-Jones-and-Mick-Jagger.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26304" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Brian-Jones-and-Mick-Jagger.jpg" title="Linda McCartney - Brian Jones and Mick Jagger" /></a></center><center><a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/photos-linda-mccartneys-shots-of-paul-and-other-iconic-musicians-20110429/brian-jones-and-mick-jagger-0689936" target="_blank">Source</a></center> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Jimi-Hendrix.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26305" height="886" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Jimi-Hendrix.jpg" title="Linda McCartney - Jimi Hendrix" width="600" /></a></center><center><a href="http://everyday-i-show.livejournal.com/121371.html" target="_blank">Source</a></center> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Johnny-and-Kate.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26306" height="914" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Johnny-and-Kate.jpg" title="Linda McCartney - Johnny and Kate" width="600" /></a></center><center><a href="http://everyday-i-show.livejournal.com/121371.html" target="_blank">Source</a></center> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Paul-and-Linda.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26307" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Paul-and-Linda.jpg" title="Linda McCartney - Paul and Linda" /></a></center><center><a href="http://linda-mccartney.tumblr.com/post/23915495445/100-photos-the-mccartneys-23-100" target="_blank">Source</a></center> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Paul-and-Martha.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26308" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Paul-and-Martha.jpg" title="Linda McCartney - Paul and Martha" /></a></center><center><a href="http://everyday-i-show.livejournal.com/121371.html" target="_blank">Source</a></center> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Paul-Los-Angeles-1968.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26309" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Paul-Los-Angeles-1968.jpg" title="Linda McCartney - Paul, Los Angeles 1968" /></a></center><center><a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/magazine/feature-articles/linda-mccartney-photographs-0411" target="_blank">Source</a></center> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Paul.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26310" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Paul.jpg" title="Linda McCartney - Paul" /></a></center><center><a href="http://dollyrockergirl.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/linda-mccartney-photography-all-in.html" target="_blank">Source</a></center> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-The-Grateful-Dead.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26311" height="397" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-The-Grateful-Dead.jpg" title="Linda McCartney - The Grateful Dead" width="600" /></a></center><center><a href="http://everyday-i-show.livejournal.com/121371.html" target="_blank">Source</a></center> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Twiggy.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26312" height="840" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Linda-McCartney-Twiggy.jpg" title="Linda McCartney - Twiggy" width="600" /></a></center><center><a href="http://everyday-i-show.livejournal.com/121371.html" target="_blank">Source</a></center><br /> <strong>Diane Arbus</strong></p> <p>Diane Arbus came from a privileged family that owned a famous Fifth Avenue department store. Her first photos were for the store’s advertisements. She and her husband, Allan Arbus, contributed to magazines such as Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue. However, they eventually quit commercial photography, with Diane accepting assignments from magazines such as Esquire and The Sunday Times. Some of her well-known photographs show eerie and offbeat subjects. These photos were criticized by other photographers, some saying that the photos fail to make the viewer feel compassionate about Arbus’s subjects.</p> <p> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Diane-Arbus-Young-Man-and-His-Pregnant-Wife-in-Washington-Square-Park.jpg"><img alt="Diane Arbus -

<p>“Not all those who wander are lost,” according to the great J.R.R. Tolkien. Have you ever felt the need to just disappear for a few days (or months) and go somewhere you’ve never been to before? It’s not uncommon for artists to experience it. However, if you find yourself stuck and planning, always planning for that trip, let me tell you that the next best thing is to motivate yourself to take the risk and just wander. Traveling doesn’t necessarily mean going to a different country or town. This week’s roundup of graphic design news includes links to websites and projects that celebrate creativity and satisfy curiosity, sites that let your mind travel. </p> <p> <br />  </p> <p><strong>Wander</strong></p> <p><a href="http://onwander.com/" target="_blank">Wander</a> is a website that’s about to launch its beta version in a few weeks. In the meantime, users are encouraged to upload images with themes that change on a weekly basis. The first week is for photos of places where you’d rather be, while the second week is for sharing memories from a place you’ve been. The third and current week is about your favorite local spots. The site’s creators also launched a <a href="http://www.uprinting.com/postcard-printing.html?utm_source=youthedesigner.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=gdm_ytd_0512" target="_blank">postcard</a> project that lets illustrators “imagine a postcard from everywhere and nowhere at once.” You can also download the designs for your mobile device. </p> <p> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wander02.jpg"><img alt="Wander Postcard Project via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26252" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wander02.jpg" title="Wander Postcard Project via YouTheDesigner.com" /></a></center></p> <p> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wander03.jpg"><img alt="Wander Postcard Project No. 13 by Ed Nacional via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26253" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wander03.jpg" title="Wander Postcard Project No. 13 by Ed Nacional via YouTheDesigner.com" /></a></center></p> <p> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wander01.jpg"><img alt="Wander Postcard Project No.8 by Philipp Dornbierer via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26255" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wander01.jpg" title="Wander Postcard Project No.8 by Philipp Dornbierer via YouTheDesigner.com" /></a></center></p> <p> </p> <p><center><a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wander04.jpg"><img alt="Wander Postcard Project No. 11 by Jory Dayne via YouTheDesigner.com" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26254" height="800" src="http://www.youthedesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wander04.jpg" title="Wander Postcard Project No. 11 by Jory Dayne via YouTheDesigner.com" width="600" /></a></center></p> <p> <br />  </p> <p><strong>The Wellcome Collection</strong> </p> <p>The Wellcome Collection in London dubbed themselves “a free destination for the incurably curious,” making it natural for information nerds like us to be drawn to their site.

<p>You know how, when you take a stroll in the park, it doesn’t matter where you’re walking to as long as you’re there with the sky, the trees, the grass, and your legs that are keepin’ on walkin’? Me neither. But I should, and so should you. But in case you haven’t had the time for that lately either, here’s a piece of summer art I made for you all to make your June 2012 wallpaper calendar interesting.<br />  <br /> Since this design is reversible, I made two (2) versions of this calendar. Version 1 has the girl in pink at the bottom, but if you prefer to see the couple right side up you can download Version 2.<br />  <br /> You can also check out this artwork’s project page on <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/PARK-PEOPLE-(FREE-WALLPAPER)/4075053">Behance</a>.

Now that Mohawk’s presence is much more prevalent, the new M is the centerpiece of a branding system that signals the changes underway as this 81-year-old company reinvents itself to thrive in today’s digital world. Designed by Pentagram, which also designed the previous two Mohawk logos in 1991 and 2003, the new logo based on the letter M suggests paper rolls, printing presses, circuit boards and connectivity. <br /><br /> The launch includes more than a dozen color variations of the core logo and the M (with or without the full name) appears in different colors and configurations depending upon whom Mohawk is talking with, where the conversation is taking place, and when, emphasizing Mohawk’s desire to <a href="http://mohawkconnects.com" target="_blank">connect</a> with all of its customers. It’s a building block to a dynamic, colorful branding system that speaks to basic concepts of connectivity, connecting the dots, and surprise. <br /><br /> Mohawk has also simplified its portfolio of premium paper lines from 22 to 6 and it's challenging the way paper is specified with the release of a deceptively simple tool. The New Mohawk product selector, the first in a wave of new tools, presents all Mohawk papers in one place. Designed and engineered by Michael McGinn Design Office, the selector opens to three accordion fold charts, each containing several dozen oversize paper chips. Together, they organize the papers into three broad categories based on performance, character and value. An accompanying booklet, “The New Mohawk,” is the simplified guide to all items in the newly organized lines.<br />Credits: <a href="http://www.pentagram.com">www.pentagram.com </a> | <a href="http://www.mmdesignoffice.com">www.mmdesignoffice.com </a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.commarts.com/exhibit/mohawk-logo-brand-design.html"><img border="0" src="http://image.commarts.com/images/0/3/3/330095_71_0_LTIwOTY2NjA3ODIzMjU5NjE1NjM.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.commarts.com/exhibit/mohawk-logo-brand-design.html"><img border="0" src="http://image.commarts.com/images/0/3/3/330102_71_0_LTIwOTY2NjA3ODIxNDcyODI3MTYy.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.commarts.com/exhibit/mohawk-logo-brand-design.html"><img border="0" src="http://image.commarts.com/images/0/3/3/330098_71_0_LTIwOTY2NjA3ODI1Mjc4ODM5MDY.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.commarts.com/~ff/commarts/index?a=y-N8FYZkhPE:XQiW7mtLth4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/commarts/index?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.commarts.com/~ff/commarts/index?a=y-N8FYZkhPE:XQiW7mtLth4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/commarts/index?d=qj6IDK7rITs" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.commarts.com/~ff/commarts/index?a=y-N8FYZkhPE:XQiW7mtLth4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/commarts/index?i=y-N8FYZkhPE:XQiW7mtLth4:gIN9vFwOqvQ" /></a> </div><img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/commarts/index/~4/y-N8FYZkhPE" width="1" />
