One of the many projects of the summer, Issue 5 of Don’t Take Pictures has gone to print and is available now! Once again, we took on the print layout and design for the biannual photography journal, and found that the influence of trending blush tones can be seen in this issue’s cover, too. Per usual, the photography featured […]

We’ve spent our summer season treasuring every light, airy moment we could get, and we’re not alone: pale palettes, and especially pinks, have been infiltrating our feeds as blush takes hold as an accent color playing well with warmth, and having staying power and formality when paired with whites, greys, black and gold, too. We’ve loved seeing watercolor […]

Marathon Monday has always been a key marker of the change of seasons for us: sure, it can snow in mid-April, or be blustery and rainy and miserable, but no matter the weather on the actual day, it’s an indication that we’ve collectively made it. Whether as a runner training through winter and finally arriving at race […]

It’s Spring, it’s April – and it’s still brisk and cool in Boston. The snowbanks are receding, though, and a few brave daffodil sprouts have broken through in our front yard; we’re looking forward to the coming changes in our dreary landscape! Even as we’ve begun to narrow our focus to the colors we really […]

The only way to improve skills, especially when using new tools, is practice – but I still sometimes have a hard time “wasting” paper to test our press or practice letters. That’s how Monday ended up on a pressed black zigzag when I wanted to play with a gold Kuratake brush pen this morning, admittedly lending […]

It’s officially Spring! And it sure doesn’t feel like it here. But, never mind that. It’s Friday, too! I did a bit of doodling over lunch, inspired as I always am on the first day of Spring by a jazz standard, and inspired typographically by a lovely letter from Joshua Phillips that was circulating Pinterest. Spring: […]

Another issue of Don’t Take Pictures is available! Issue 4 is our fourth layout for the biannual photography journal, available in print and online, and includes a reworking of the original DTP logo with a serif font. We began our work with DTP on Issue 1 in 2013, developing the brand and layout for the journal […]

In the world of inspirational posters and pins, there is much attention given to the idea that one must take on the things that make one uncomfortable: that much of life lies beyond our comfort zones, and that growth can happen only when we are challenged, stretched, pushed and off-balance. Arguably, the same is true […]

I wasn’t going to post anything today. We’ve been working on site copy and updates and drafting content and I figured, for a Friday, it could wait – but this series of New York from (way) above is too amazing to wait on. Vincet Laforet’s Gotham 7.5K was shot while leaning out of a helicopter 7,500 feet […]
