Design and Eggs


Gill and Company, I hope you enjoy my little blog sketchbook. I made this website to gather some of the things that i've been going through this semester. These posts are really just visual influences that i've left on my desktop, gathering pixel dust.
So I hope you are checking this out and I did'nt take too much time out of your guys marking schedule.

Have a great summer

-Nathan Grimson

P.S Gill! I may email you some logos and ask you advice on some of them.

Paul Rand


Man, i love Paul Rand's posters. The concept is quite simple but he totally pulls it off with the repitition of the image.
The type is quite reserved as well but really activates the image.

Two color graphic advertisements



get over the fact that this a vinyl record for selling alarms by playing horrible fire sounds and check out the simplicity of the colors and layout. YES!

is Neville Brody still relevant?


So Gill, What do you think?
Myself, his designs have become somwhat dated by the computer but his typographic treatments are pretty timeless.

the 12-inch canvas



Love the blue note albums from the 60s-70s
pure typographic genius!

more album designs


more seripop

I love the gradient and the sloopy chin typeface. YEAH!
