It’s out! YAY! Creative Grab Bag has been published! My task was to design a skateboard – oh what fun it was!
“Where can you find work from Ellen Lupton, Debbie Millman, Carole Guevin, Frank Chimero, BBDK, Xavier Encinas, Ryan Katrina, Mike McQuade, Michael Perry, Nessim Higson, Sean Sutherland, Edvard Scott, Michael Gillette, Ben Frost, Jeremyville, and many others all in
the same place?
Creative Grab Bag is a collection of work from artists, illustrators and designers from around the world. Author Ethan Bodnar created over 30 unique tasks and gave each contributor a task that was different from their typical work.
The book contains images of each artist’s creative task, typical work, and a biography and short reflection on the creative process. Together, they capture the spirit of exploration and innovation and challenge readers to break out of their usual work.
The book includes both well-known and up-and-coming creatives. 101 contributors in total.”
Available now through Amazon.

Sooo beautiful, minimalist and yet emotional, this poster was created by Emil Ruder “(1914–1970), Swiss typographer and graphic designer, who with Armin Hofmann helped to found the Basel School (Schule für Gestaltung Basel) and a graphic style known as the Swiss Style.”
Thinking for a Living has published A Brief History of Emil Ruder. “To know where we’re going, we’ve got to understand where we’ve been.”
More of his posters here at 80magazine.

Awesome! Keep-Us-Busy? A collaboraton between two 3rd year graphic design students, Tom Lovell and Shaun Hughes who made a creative sit-in in a window store for 5 days.
“A shameless self promotion, a way of indulging oursleves in our last 3 months of Uni and having fun. To collaborate, to use words, to interact, not just to design but to create. To be on constant show, to prove to the world that the creative mind is always doing.”
