Pop Chart Lab

Pop Chart Lab is a collaboration between a book editor and a graphic designer. From their lair in Brooklyn they seek to do nothing less than to bring order to a swirling chaos. That is, they seek to put the world in charts.

Perfection! Simple yet visually exciting website. Perfect nav. Blog is cool. Predator t-shirt rocks.

Head-on there right-o-way!

Kvadrat by HW

Howard Wakefield worked as a graphic designer with Peter Saville at Pentagram Design during the early 90s. He is currently working with Kvadrat, the leading Danish textile company, responsible for the complete brand identity system from the logo to advertising, web site and the graphic design of all printed materials.

Old Magazines

I have a large pile of old magazines – stacked and ready for future collages. I used them on almost any surfaces, such as some of the desks in my studio and even on the back of bookshelves – to make eye catching room and space dividers.

The Old Magazines typography and poster by RK Estudio is such a genial idea!

Pop-art power

I believe in the power of pop-art. In my view, it has to do w/ providing affordable and inspiring eye candy for everyone to enjoy. As creative people, we surround ourselves w/ chosen keepsakes in our large or small studio space both as decoration and inspiration.

For many years, always shared eye candy and some design works as a token of my gratitude to you. Some habits are worth keeping.

To celebrate the launch of my new featured projects hub, Away #1 is the first release of the digital series poster imagineered by.. The concept is based upon the fact that our memories fade, leaving behind a pixellized fragmented image. Photography is mine and shot while travelling. I am using a different ‘A’ font for each poster.

Free to enjoy, download and print.
