Fogelson-Lubliner is the studio name of Gary and Phil, two really great designers that finally got a website up. It had been a long time coming, and shit sure don’t disappoint. Here’s what you can start with: one of a few things for Good, one of a few things for Emeco, & some recent things for The New York Times. I am going to hold off on sharing some compromising anecdotal stories about Gary and Phil, but feel free to share your own in the comments section.

Sister

sister1.jpg

Sister is a mailorder label based in Los Angeles, California. In the two short weeks the site has been up, there have been consistent releases that I’ve been alerted to through a well-tailored email newsletter I voluntarily signed up for. Maybe this has something to do with me going through Open Studios this past weekend, but I suggest you invest in the things Sister is selling. And if you say you don’t have paypal or you don’t like logo parodies then you’re either lying or retarded and you probably don’t have a TV on purpose and end up not understanding all the good jokes with non-creatives & intellectuals and oh god I can’t wait to get out of school sorry harsh this is supposed to be about you not me

You’ve Got Yale

lux_post.gif

This Friday night is the closing party at the School of Art at Yale for the Graphic Design Thesis Exhibition. The show’s been up all week, and it’s been the most successful show ever, so I heard - not just within the department, or even around Yale, but we are talking ALL of New Haven’s shopping district (so meaning yeah even better than the fashion show put on next to the recently closed Cosi’s that happened the one Saturday afternoon I tried to take a nap). Want to hear what first-year Vance has to say? “visual… lil’ cold… Merrrr. can i do it later?” Want to hear what pre-lim Keri is saying? “its videos so your grubby fingers don’t get all over the books.” & when asked to follow up: “i’m busy.”

The show is up now but is coming down the day after the party. There’s just a little time. Come see it.

Nathan Nedorostek Associates, Inc.

12_nsmtzine00jpg.jpeg

Nathan Nedorostek (pronounced Knee-door-oh-steak) Associates, Inc. is a creative agency in New York City. You have no clue how surprised I was to see all the work Nathan and his team did for Gossip Girl (favoritest show, b-dubbs). And when I say surprised, I should have said that some of you know that I actually wasn’t surprised at all, because Nathan is one of my best friends and I know quite a bit about him (such as: Nathan throws up in pools). So, that previous comment was misleading. Maybe it was just mostly confusing. This tangent is pretty confusing, actually. Let’s get back “on” Nathan. Look at this, he has a profile on the CW website! Are you kidding me?
