I was cleaning out my home studio this weekend, organizing my paper samples, designer paraphernalia and books. I came across this old cover for "I, Robot" that I really like. The jacket cites Johannes Regn as the designer.

I love the simple typography. The illustration isn't particularly spectacular on its own, but in the context of the overall cover and colors I really love it. The cool blue and purples colors on this cover are great, too. Of course, the paper is thoroughly yellowed, so I'm sure the colors are quite a bit different from when they were originally printed. That being said, I look at awesome old crinkled and yellowed printed items like this and wonder if I'd like them as much if it was freshly printed and clean white paper today?

Ah well. This humble, obscure piece of design has been a nice inspiration for me over the years. Good Job Johannes.

Tuesday marked 3 months since I started here at OLG. It's a bit blurry, but my first day might have been something like this...

I thought I'd share some non-OLG work I've been working on over the past few weeks. Here is some work I did for my little sister Katelynn, a college freshman. She asked me to design some graphics for her dorm building, called Justin East, and for her cheer team's sweatshirts. Enjoy.

Allen County United way has begun a 10-year campaign to close the 3rd grade reading gap in Allen County. That is, they want to make sure every child in Allen County is reading at or above grade level by 3rd grade. To help their cause, they asked OLG to design the identity for the campaign along with a web site, print and display materials, and other materials.

The campaign officially launched today at a press conference at Brentwood Elementary School in Fort Wayne. To coincide, we launched the Learn United web site today. Check it out at LearnUnited.org.

Also, here are a few 6' tall banners we designed for them to take to various events.
