Wittner Fabrice photographed these light stencils while visiting vietnam. These are not digitally manipulated, they're actually long exposures where the light from the stencil was exposed, then the stencil was removed to allow the background to burn in. Very cool stuff.

This is old news, but in case you've been in a coma, the Solar Bears are back. That's right, Orlando has hockey again. You can read more about that here.

We want to talk about the logo, which we think is pretty solid. The color harmony is a little discordant, but that's not really a problem here. We do think that the typography could be improved. The thickness isn't consistent across letterforms and there's some tension where the "r" and the "B" meet. Our biggest gripe is that they didn't use a local company to do this. They selected Joe Bosack Graphic Design, a Pennsylvania based firm, to do this work. It's a nice logo, but we can't help but think a local company could have done just as well, if not better. No offense, Joe.

The Gridiron League is a personal project created by Wes Kull, which is a collection of idealized NFL insignias that pay tribute to each team's history and geography in a period-specific aesthetic that glorifies the Vince Lombardi-era over the Cold-Activated-era. This is not an exercise in nostalgia but an interpretation of the league's founding principles through the symbols that we, as football fans, identify with most.

AIGA MIAMI is having a portfolio review and your book cannot miss it. Clean the dust on your cover, get rid of old resumes, put your best pieces together, dress up and take your book to compete for the Best in Show Award ($500).

This one-day-long event is designed to give you advice about how to present yourself and your work, marketing where you want to be. You can practice your interview skills and get honest feedback from local design professionals–creative directors, art directors, media producers, educators and hiring managers. Gain exposure, broaden your network and become aware of the South Florida creative field and the current job market. A diverse team of professionals will be sharing their creative perspective and points of view when hiring... and they may be looking for potential employees or interns.

The event is open to design students, MFA cadidates and recent grads (a year or less since graduation date) but space is limited to 50 so register early to guarantee your spot.
