A few days ago I've made a post about the Emigre magazine, one of the most important publications for the design community. Along with that magazine, another great publication was the Ray Gun magazine founded by David Carson. So, inspired by that, I've decided to create an art work using some of the photos I took this last summer. In that way, I would have a nice design to remember the summer of 2009.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Zane Prater and Saad Moosajee, a self taught freelance Illustrator and Art Director living in Denver, Colorado. Saad has worked for clients such as Dell, Tiger Beer, HTC, 361 Degrees, and Computer Arts Magazine. Saad is currently the creative head at the Slashthree Collective. Zane Prater is a 18 year old llustrator currently living in San Francisco. He attends the San Francisco Art Institute, and recently created numerous illustrations for 303 skateboards.
The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it is an essential book for those starting out their design career or interested in learning the elements of this trade. The Elements of Typographic Style is the perfect book to start 2012 improving your design skills :)
