Jay Pritzker Pavilion

The last two weeks have had downtown Chicago all a flutter with the filming of the new Transformers film! Last week they were set up on LaSalle Street, and then moved to the tourist haven, Michigan Ave. This week, they’ve moved the set further along the river, now filming along Wacker (which means closer to my window at work!).

Check out a larger view of the set, here.

Spent this weekend partying with good friend, Adam Okrasinski, who was in Chicago to support his client, American Express and their Zync Zone. The zone was positioned at the annual Pitchfork Music Festival, encouraging a younger audience to apply for the AmEx Zync card. It was awesome, and from it the above photo was born.

More importantly, I was charmed that day with a very up-close stage performance by the crowd pleasing(?) Major Lazer. What a bizarre little man.

Devil Horns in Disguise

The guys over at Firebelly Design put a lot of work into this piece, and now the TYPEFORCE book is printed and being distributed! It’s the perfect catalogue to accompany the exhibition. It features all the work in close detail, with written excerpts from every artist, and many photographs from the evening. I was blown away by the quality of the book, but with donated supplies from Graphic Arts Studio, and Unisource Paper, and backing support from AIGA Chicago, I couldn’t expect anything less!

I’m proud to have been part of such a great design effort in the artist community, and thrilled to have exhibited among such talent. Below are three spreads from the book. Each artist chapter was given an individual custom title spread, and I gotta say—I love mine!

Interested in a copy? Contact Firebelly Design, and ask nicely!

I don’t know if you know this, but I was totally on the set of Little Miss Sunshine in 2006

Check these guys out. Toben, an excellent young bunch of designers from Australia, specializing in super fresh editorial/layout work, with a splash of identity and interactive.

Okay, so maybe I’m a little jealous…
