Without a doubt the next design book on my to purchase list is that of friend of Lifelounge Niels "Shoe" Meulman andCalligraffiti. Aside from including tons of some of the best typographic works around it features an essay tracing Shoe's creative progression by esteemed writer Adam Euwens as well as a preface by the highly regarded symbologist John Langdon. Pretty much buying it right now.

Instant Rockstar refresh

Lifelounge is currently involved in the brand and packaging refresh of the Australian hair care brand Instant Rockstar... Quite an interesting gig for a bald man ; ) anyway...
The very first step was to create a new ID that represented the company's positioning as a fun and contemporary yet a sophisticated/professional hair brand. My logo response for this was to take on visual cues from both vintage rock vinyl and the flowing organic qualities of hair... Stay tuned – packaging to follow.

Vans and the places they were

Anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes with me knows that I'm an absolute sucker for vans. I came across a website this morning that features nothing more and nothing less than photos of sweet vans and information on where and when the photo was captured. The photos are fantastic too but I may be a little biased.
Go on and drool over at
