Sew Awesome

I was excited to help with the assembly of AIGA South Carolina’s InShow award for this year. Every year, the InShow “cube” is made of different materials or themes. Aluminum, concrete, cardboard, faux-quarium, ceramic, wood block, junction boxes, faux-cheese, a wrapped present and now…

The pillow cube was one we always wanted to do, but we never had the time to manufacture them all. So when Frances Grosse told me that they were going to finally do fabric cubes, I volunteered to help sew them. Frances picked out the fabric and patches and then she, Maria Fabrizio and I sewed cubes. The tags were created by Harrison Croft and pinned to the cube. (They aren’t in the picture above because these cubes are leftovers…) Definitely one of my favorite cubes.

Also: See my post from 2008 that details the process for making the junction box cubes.

Congrats to the InShow 16 winners

InShow is AIGA South Carolina’s annual design competition and pulls together the best work from around South Carolina. This year, I only entered one thing into the competition as Sketchbook B and wasn’t shocked when it didn’t win…

As I looked at the incredible collection of work, I was surprised to find Sketchbook B included as a credit on one of the winning entries. My friend Marius included Sketchbook B as a “typeface design” credit on his Unwantables Package Design that used Valdes Poster Sans, the typeface that we developed together. The piece was even selected as a special judges award. So congrats to Marius and thanks for including Sketchbook B on the entry. 

I encourage you visit the InShow site and look at the winning entries. There was some amazing work “in” this year. Check out Marius’s amazing (and massive) collection of work at Zoo Valdes. And remember that you can download Valdes Poster Sans for free here at Sketchbook B.

Inside InShow

When I was looking through pictures for my post on the InShow cube, I ran across a shot I had taken before judging with my iPhone. This is only a portion of the entries. So many incredible entries…
