Interaction, a Poster for Identity Designers
Several weeks ago, I posted about a clock I had made for identity designers. Several people inquired about the possibility of purchasing posters, clocks or seeing high-resolution files. Due to financial and practical restraints, I am unable to produce any clocks at this time. However, I have produced posters.
The posters in the series are 13×13″, in a signed and numbered edition of 50, half of which are available now on my Etsy account. They are printed on 110# Classic Crest Solar White paper. They cost 15$ a piece.
I really appreciate all the recognition I have received for this project. Thanks to everyone who has blogged about this.

Questions for identity designers: Armin Vit
This post concludes the series of questions for identity designers. In the coming weeks, I will announce plans to sell copies of my brand-interaction clock and limited edition posters of its face. Alas, the interview:
Armin Vit is a blogger I particularly respect. He contributes to UnderConsideration, Speak Up, Brand New and Quipsologies.
How do you approach a new branding project?
Ask a lot of questions of the client, and from as many people involved in the decision-making process as well as from those that have been in the company long enough to provide insight. After that it’s just a matter of taking that insight and turning it into great graphic design.

Questions for identity designers: Chermayeff and Geismar
The folks at Chermayeff and Geismar provided relatively short winded responses, explaining “sorry they’re brief but as you can imagine we get many e-mails like yours.” I guess I’ll let them slide this time; considering I asked pretty typical questions and they are largely considered to be design gods.

Questions for identity designers: Michael Bierut
To preface this series of interviews, here are the questions I originally asked:
How do you approach a new branding project?
What does your research include?
Would you describe your process?
What do you feel is the most successful brand you’ve designed? Why?
How do you test an idea?
The first response I received was from Michael Bierut, partner at Pentagram.

A clock for identity designers
- Click for larger images
Last month, I wrote about the day I spent obsessively chronicling all the brands, logos, identities and symbols – all 1,035 – that I interact with throughout the day. This research was done for a project I was working on at the time in the Visual Communication Design program at Arizona State University under Professor Al Sanft. Read more. →

And, what did I learn? Read more. →
