LE METRO 2.0
Fabulous redesigns of the NY Metro Card. This one is my favorite. I’m old school. I remember tokens.
From the artist’s website:
“The Metrocard Project is an ongoing project that aims to redesign the iconic New York City Metrocard in a fresh way. The project was created by Melanie Chernock, a graphic designer studying at the School of Visual Arts.”

I won’t lie, I know only one or two songs, but that is all you need to realize robotic, futuristic and automatic greatness.

A design I did for my client, Bedgear. They are bedding essentials company focused on performance and wanted a brochure to reflect their new attitude and focus.
I think the overall design came out well considering the amount of type and information that was need on it.
Creatives….create!

I never knew when I was looking at my mother’s vinyl album cover of “West Side Story” I was starting at genius. It seems others were completly aware of it.
“Saul Bass: A Life in Film & Design” by Jennifer Bass and Pat Kirkham according to the site:
“…contains more than 1,400 illustrations, many from the Bass archive and never published before, providing an in-depth account of one of the leading graphic artists of the 20th century”
It also includes an introduction by Martin Scorsese. A long-time Bass admirer. Christmas can’t get here soon enough.
Detail of The Connoisseur, 1962 by Norman Rockwell
This painting was Rockwell’s 317th overall out of 322 total paintings that were published on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post.
The proper way to look a picture. Sit back and enjoy. Let just art be art.
