GRAPHIC DESIGN HQ is a personal project of Matthew Goodrich. HQ Design House is a concept where designers eat, sleep, drink, design, party, and live together under one roof. The project seems like a great way to build strong design communities and to make awesome friends. Now all we have to do is sell this idea to NBC and turn it into a reality show.
GRAPHIC DESIGN Here’s an interesting collection of vintage propaganda posters promoting certain health practices. “The main objective of posters, as with other communications media is to influence attitudes, to sell a product or service or to change behavior patterns. Public health posters are clearly in the third category, their purpose being to alter the consciousness of the public to bring about an improvement in health practices.” -William H. Helfand.
GRAPHIC DESIGN Lauren’s portfolio is filled with tons of fun projects. You can really tell she absolutely loves what she does.

GRAPHIC DESIGN Sister Corita, gained international fame for her vibrant serigraphs during the 60s and 70s. A Sister of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, she ran the Art Department at Immaculate Heart College until 1968. Corita’s art reflects her spirituality, her commitment to social justice, her hope for peace, and her delight in the world that takes place all around us. “I am not brave enough to not pay my income tax and risk going to jail. But I can say rather freely what I want to say with my art.” -Sister Corita
GRAPHIC DESIGN There’s some awesome typography illustration here. If you like geometric shapes then you’ll love his work. Definitely check out his “Tonaht Branding” project.
ETC Interesting article commenting on the lack of great female designers. I think there are plenty of stupendous female designers, however, we just don’t know them by name. We know them through their work. Hella Jongerius makes a really true statement in the article, “To make it to the top, you need to be outspoken, self-confident and entrepreneurial, apart from having design talent. I have taught many talented young women and tried like hell to push them, but most were too shy.”
GRAPHIC DESIGN I’d have to say that Paul Sahre is one of my favorite designers. He’s not only a great designer but a really nice person! He’s updated is website with some awesome new work.
