Visual Armory

There’s something that excites me when I see handmade elements in graphic design and this identity set for Andy Luce does not disappoint!

I think with the ease of computers and technology, designers rush to start a design project by jumping straight on the computer. When this happens, you risk the chance of your design looking “manufactured.” If Andy would have done this while starting his brand work for Visual Armory, I don’t think the end result would have been as nice and refreshing. The hand drawn lettering would have never been created and the texture from the rubber stamp effect would be nonexistent. It would lack personality and feel stale.

Below are a few samples of his work on Visual Armory. You can find more here.

Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! Being in a creative industry, I always try to reuse products in different ways then they were intended. I received this project from Toms Shoes today on how to turn the top band of your old Toms into a bracelet. They feature other projects on how to make drink coasters, plant hangers and even a soccer ball made out of insoles! Check all the projects out here.
