Tees By the People for the People

Another interesting piece of internet marketing to come out of the Obama camp, who in my opinions is running the best internet marketing campaign I’ve ever seen. It’s a create your own t-shirt contest (think Threadless) that allows designers to submit designs, have them voted on, and eventually for sale.

Check them out.

Moo!

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Moo is a great service for custom printing of business cards, postcards and other collateral. They are higher priced than some of their competitors, but their appeal is being able to print several different images in the same run. You can even hook into your Flickr account and have a differnt image on each card you print. Collect them all!

Check out Moo.

Robert Rauschenberg

One of my favorite artists, and a huge influence on everything I have created as a designer and an artist, has died today of heart failure at the age of 82. His retrospective at MOMA was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, and his show of new work at PaceWildenstein in Chelsea showed the breadth of his life’s work. It’s a truly sad day.
