Make no mistake, this is not my work. But there so rarely comes a chance to promote work from a such a gifted new artist as Colin Levy. I am very proud to do so now.
Young Mr. Levy’s work can be viewed on Vimeo here.
And a brief introduction to the film and the behind the scenes by Colin himself (you can see he is REALLY young) here. Very impressive work, Mr. Levy.

Amper&and

I assigned one of my new designers with the task of redesigning the “&” ampersand. It had to be historical, readable and original. I think this is a good lesson in design as a whole, learning letterforms. He did a pretty good job, I gotta say, so I’m using it as part of a weekly design lecture I have at a company in Tokyo.

Design is…

“Design is one – it is not many different ones. The discipline of Design is one and can be applied to many different subjects, regardless of style. Design discipline is above and beyond any style. All style requires discipline in order to be expressed.
Very often people think that Design is a particular style. Nothing could be more wrong! Design is a discipline, a creative process with its own rules, controlling the consistency of its output toward its objective in the most direct and expressive way.” – Massimo Vignelli

Grace Harbor Project, a new church plant in Toyosu, Tokyo, is looking into a logo and website to help promote their presence in the area. Working out some ideas here. That’s all. Have a nice day.
