Gold Foil Award Stickers
Because sometimes it’s nice to give yourself an award for just getting out of bed in the morning. Especially on a Monday.

Should the day ever come where I’m married with kids of my own this is the sort of family photo I want. Something that feels a little Royal Tenenbaums meets J.Crew. Lori Andrews is a genius. {via poppytalk}
Sometimes the fastest and most furious of designs turn out to be the truest. I designed these cards for myself in about fifteen minutes flat last Monday after realizing I needed some new ones for Alt. Instead of going all in with the Design Crush logo, I opted to focus on my name while staying true to the fonts used in the logo. I then had them printed on some really nice matte cardstock. I’m really pleased with the end result.

Another great collaboration from Threadless just hit the table. This time they teamed up with Baggu to release ten limited edition Duck Bags, each sporting a design from the Threadless design community. These bags are heavy duty and super strong. Each 100% recycled cotton canvas tote has an adjustable strap with brass hardware for versatility, a center snap, and an inside pocket.

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost been a year since the last Alt Summit! My experience last January can only be described as life changing in the best possible way. I met so many amazing people, networked with the best of the best, and had gads of fun all in three short days. The only thing I can even compare it to is Design Blog Summer Camp, I didn’t want to leave!
And at this time next week I’ll be on my way to Salt Lake City once again! This year they’ve expanded the summit to include five days of discussions, round tables, networking, and parties. There’s even a chance to hit up Sundance, ski, or thrift around the city.
I’ll be speaking on the Striking a Balance: Balancing Social Media and Your Day Job panel Friday with three lovely ladies who I have the utmost respect for – Jaime Derringer of Design Milk, Kirsten Grove of Simply Grove, and Suann Song of Simplesong. If our prep meetings give any hint of how the conversation will go on the panel, well, it’s going to be fantastic. We even have a few surprises up or sleeve for those of you who plan on attending our session! You can check out the entire list of speakers and schedule here. Hope to see you next week!
PS: I threw together a little wardrobe planner/packing list for myself and decided to share after a few people asked for it. You can download your own here.

Jonathan Zawada’s Over Time exhibition is not only breathtaking, but also brilliant. The landscape topographies are created from graph data, modeled in 3D, and then oil paintings are created from those 3D renderings. You can see them in person at Prism Gallery in L.A. through February 28th. {via The Jealous Curator}
This coming July the USPS will debut a killer series of stamps dedicated to pioneers of American industrial design. I have a feeling these will end up in a frame on my wall.
