Rebecca Schley

Okay so I am a firm believer in Community over Competition, design is waaaaaay to competitive and it hamstrings most designers into not sharing ideas and especially not helping one another out. That being said earlier and at complete random I came upon the following works and I think these are awesome. I have no idea who Rebecca Schley is but I figured why not make this a great starting point to help promote designers and creative who's work I find awesome even if I don't even know them. So congratulations Rebecca you win the first ever Awesome Award!*

*I'll award people and post them as I find them but to be fair I'll only make them people I don't already know.

Give A Damn

I recently finished a run of my new Give A Damn posters which you can check out here. This poster was initially inspired by a statement I saw saying "Design like you give a damn." I thought of creating this poster so that each person could make it their own personalized motivational poster and put in what they give a damn about in the area above the words. It is custom lettering and my Atreyu typeface below. Silk screened with gunmetal metallic ink on 65# Cover French's Pop-Tone Lemon Drop.

Art School Cliches

This is absolutely true and hilarious. I especially love "Did you know? 98% of infographics are 100% pointless. See pie chart for details." :) You can download a pdf here.

Rory Sutherland is amazing and inspiring

Atreyu Nibbble

So in lieu of not having a Dribbble account I call these Nibbble's (Not Dribbble or just a cute variation since it is a nibble of what is to come). Atreyu is my newest typeface creation, it is still in the works but here is a preview. The typeface was used on the "Nothing to Lose, Everything to Win" shirt I illustrated but only in all caps. The finished Atreyu Grotesque will be a free font available hopefully by the end of July.

Atreyu is going to be a long experiment in typeface design. It began actually as a blackletter (and still exists as one), out of which the grotesque (sans-serif) was born. I plan on taking this typeface and creating a super family consisting of blackletter, grotesque, serif and slab-serif versions. In doing so it will be the neverending typeface, which is partly where the name came from (that and I listen to a lot of music while I work in my studio and usually make it bands that I feel fit what I'm working on and the band Atreyu just goes great with this, that and I love their music too. Enjoy!
