Many of you probably don’t even realize this happened, but on Tuesday night, the sun emitted a massive solar flare which sped toward Earth at 4 million miles an hour.

The Wink Frown is Back!
posted by DD
Many of you may be familiar with the infamous Wink Frown, and many of you may not. I’m not going to take the time to explain it, so hopefully you do not belong to the latter category.

Shane suggested I create a Wink Frown from the needles. I immediately scoffed at the idea, but quickly reconsidered. ...

While at the grocery store the other day, I noticed the striking similarity of all the laundry detergent packaging. So, I documented. Apparently if you’re selling soap, first you need a one syllable name (unless your name contains the word or prefix “oxy,” then...

“So Cal Design” Poster Series
posted by DD
As many of you may know, Mitten United recently (it’s been almost 3 weeks already) relocated to our office in Big Bear Lake, California.

With those photos, I created this typographical 5 poster series entitled “So Cal Design.” Enjoy! [Click each image to download a high-res...

We’ve teamed up with XOS PRODUCTIONS & BOARDING FOR BREAST CANCER at SnowJam 2011 in Del Mar, California. Today is the third and final day of the show, so stop out if you’re in SoCal!
