I just completed a pretty fun print design project for the Australian Trade Commission’s G’Day USA event. Here’s a short snippit of the press release for this job:

As the idea for the Australian Designers Collection gained momentum, Senior Trade Commissioner David Howard, and his team at Austrade New York, contacted era//404 Creative Group about designing a printed a designer booklet featuring Australian Designers for distribution during, and following, the event.”We were seeking a company that was professional and is known for providing quality services,” said Austrade, “and era//404 came highly recommended by a third party.”

I submitted a tee shirt design called Consumer/Accidental Advertising Medium Disclaimer to Threadless.com to be voted on and hopefully printed. If I get enough high scores the shirt will be printed and sold from the site and I will win some prizes. Take a look at it and if you like it, sign up and give it a score.

I’m starting a list of NT Bloggers. If you’re a frequenter of the online design community, Newstoday, you’re probably interested in some of the musings and ramblings from the members. I was, anyway, so I compiled this list of NT Bloggers so that I could have an easy reference for what they were up to and new postings about their work and lives.

This weekend I was surprised and honored to be credited in the new book, Signature Weddings, published by one of my clients, Michelle Rago. I originally designed the conceptual book for her two years ago, through my company, era//404. The book was published this Winter and is on shelves at Barnes and Noble. This is where I first learned of the credit, which states: “Thanks for being my partner in the original pitch! Didn’t change much, did it?“.

Michelle’s sincerity in the quote and care for the credit are both overwhelming. As a side-note, the book is beautiful. She has compiled an amazing resource for brides-to-be, filled with experiences, examples and notes on the process she has created to design and produce some of the most memorable weddings ever. I’m honored to have been a part of it.

These are some fun pictures taken on recent trip to Florida. My grandparents have an amazing backyard, filled with curious items and scenes that would make any shutterbug trigger-happy.

Thanks to the amazing critique and imagination of Matt Bird (Betsy‘s Wünder-Husband), The Guardian is now in its third draft and looking pretty spiffy. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
