JASON ISBELL & 400 UNIT POSTER SACRAMENTO 2008
BACK TO BASICS
I was in the middle of a period where I was doing a lot of single-color pieces with a focus on symmetrical compositions.

One of the best logotypes I ever designed and altogether it all hangs well. Fun fact: no one has ever (so far as I know) noticed the angel and devil hidden in the upper right and left corners respectively.

A ranking covering all their studio recordings from 1982 to their breakup in 2011. The ranking doesn’t include compilations or live albums, although I am including Dead Letter Office…
Our Band Could Be Your Typography Lesson
13. BROKE. CURIOUS. BORED. The moment is burnt indelibly into my memory. Every Sunday morning, I’d pick through the day’s edition of the Omaha World Herald (I'm a Nebraska boy. Or at least was for my first 25 years), and I was leafing through inky inserts and box store circulars…
