Excerpt: FOUNDFONT™ tutorial Andy Hayes here from Hucklebuck Design Studio. The subject for this tutorial will revolve around a pet project of mine called FOUNDFONT™. Foundfont™ is dedicated to typographic archaeology as well as the use of found typography within design. It’s about extracting unique type for specific design needs or creating complete type sets based on found examples. FOUNDFONT™ offers typefaces but also hopes to inspire designers to do their own digging. In this tutorial we’ll talk about what makes a good FOUNDFONT™ source and the steps to creating your own usable vector characters from found samples. Type is where you find it Useful…

Excerpt: Illustration Collaboration Hey Go Media faithful! As Go Media has evolved over the years, we’ve learned that collaboration with other artists and designers can be a very powerful tool when trying to deliver the very best product to your client. Different designers have different skill sets. When Go Media assembles a team to work on a project some of those people may be in our firm and others may not. I recently had an amazing experience collaborating with a good friend of mine; Steve Knerem on an illustration for Cage Spawn Clothing. This article will be kind of a hybrid…

Excerpt: Before We Get Started Hello dear readers! Simon and Jon from Studio Ace of Spade here. Today, we have the chance to write a tutorial about one of the Studio’s recent projects, the poster we did for Lost and Taken. What’s great about this particular project is that it gives us the occasion to do a tutorial we’ve wanted to write for a long time: texture, texture and more texture. We already had a writeup including some tips and tricks about textures published recently, but it was web oriented. Web is a world were subtlety is a key word, so we had to…

Excerpt: Hi, I’m Franz — a London-based freelance graphic designer and founder of the design blog Fudgegraphics. As a personal project, I create a new desktop wallpaper each month featuring the current calendar month. It’s a pleasure to share some insights into the creation of  ”Rise – June 2011 Calendar Wallpaper”. Something that I want to make clear from the start is that this is not a step-by-step tutorial, but rather a case study showcasing some of the techniques used. It wasn’t easy writing this article, mostly because all of my personal designs are what I like to call “happy accidents”. Hopefully…

Excerpt: This is NOT simply another type foundry Hello dear readers. Today, I want to talk about the Lost Type Co-op. If you want to be cynical about it, you could say it’s just another type foundry. Well, you’d be wrong. The cool thing about the LTC is its model: The Lost Type Co-Op is a Pay-What-You-Want Type foundry, the first of it’s kind. — From the LTC about page Other than meaning that you can get fonts for $0, it also means that its sales model is based on trusting the customer to understand the value of the product. It’s more or less the honor…

Excerpt: Designing for yourself can be a complex and dreadful exercise These days, there’s extra pressure on designers to be fully aware that how you brand yourself needs to reflect who you are and your abilities. Not only that, but it needs to connect with the people that are going to be exposed to the brand: your future and current clients. Speaking from my own experience at Studio Ace of Spade, we’re working on the fifth(+) design iteration for our website and we haven’t even hit the coding phase yet. We have a fairly developed brand; yet, still it’s more difficult to execute…

Excerpt: Hello GMZ readers! If you’re looking for the video from last Thursday’s live broadcast, you’ve come to the right place. We wanted to summarize some of the things that were said during Jeff’s live broadcast about his ebook Thread’s Not Dead. First, the recorded version of the broadcast. Since it was a big first time for all of us, we ran into the unavoidable technical difficulties, but oh well. In the end, it all went rather well and smoothly.The recorded videos, however, might have a few gaps here and there. I also wish we could have a recording of the chat…
