Karol Gadzala is a freelance graphic designer from Poland. He’s got a passion for letters and decorative hand craft and a pretty good portfolio of print and type work. Hat’s off.

I know, I know, but I couldn’t help myself after seeing some new stuff up from Mark Weaver on Behance. His “Make something cool every day series” has some great eye candy in it. Take a second look at this portfolio and enjoy. He’s got a style that’s working and he’s working it out. Plus he’s got an affinity for...

We just finished up some fun 1 inch buttons for our Philadelphia friends, Lotus. Check em out here and buy them at their Made Legend Store.

Finally found the studio that did the movie posters for Black Swan. Behold… La Boca. Not only did those posters rule but it turns out that everything they do rules. I love the liberal use of bright colors, geometric shapes, textures and sci-fi subject matter. La Boca is an independent design circus specializing in art & design for the film, music and fashion industries. La Boca‘s...

Big Boi‘s new album “Sir Lucius Left Foot… The Son of Chico Dusty” has been making the rounds at Made Legend and I’m very much into it. If you haven’t listened to more than “Shutter Bug” as of yet I highly recommend it. Big Boi seems to get better and better the longer he’s around.

Allan Peters has a portfolio full of drop dead gorgeous work that’s got some amazing technical attention. We posted about Allan a while back but seeing as how he’s got some new work up we thought it was time to do it again. I was blown away by this project he did for BBDO. BBDO Minneapolis was born during Prohibition...

More beautiful simplicity from design boutique Eight Hour Day. A husband and wife team working side by side, they aspire for the designed life(style): a place where work, life and inspiration are all equal and integrated organically.

This past Monday night I went and saw Australian band Tame Impala play at the Independent here in San Francisco. Their new album “Innerspeaker” has been getting a lot of play here at the studio and I was pumped to check them out live. I think their music lends itself well to the general vibe of San Francisco and when I got...

Love love love the illustrative work of Denmark illustrator Mads Berg. No shape is wasted in telling the story in his pieces and his use of texture and gradient go a long way in making the work come to life. I love how much your information your eye fills in and how even with such simple shapes there is always something...

I spent the day listening to “The Mix Up” (2007) by the Beastie Boys. I forgot how much I loved some of the tracks as well as the overall feel of the album. Got a bit lost in space while listening to this mellow mix.  Check out my favorite song on the album “Electric Worm” below. On top of that...
