Yes, another reference to how Minority Report is helping shape the future of technology and society. If you’ve been in the dark for a little while, a new stage in UI/mouse/stylus/pointing at stuff is about to be set with Leap Motion: Historically it first started with the track ball, invented in 1952 by Tom Cranston, […]
When perusing Pinterest or other design blogs for new inspiration I expose myself to hundreds of images at a time. What I realized was, that as I was continuously flipping through design after design, the thought never occurred to me to inquire on the gender of the designer. I don’t really place much emphasis on […]
A fun find for feeding the mind: A friend directed me to No Brow, a publishing of works by a wonderful collection of graphic artists, illustrators, and artists. There, I came across Blexbolex a French illustrator and artist based in Berlin who has created such works as Dog Crime, Abecederia, and No Man’s Land. Blexbolex’s […]

We recently got the opportunity to create new business cards for one of our long-standing clients, Blaster Entertainment. While the company has a very simple logo, just black and white normally, we knew that we […]
The Centrifuge Brain Project fictional documentary premiered on Vimeo last January 27 based on writer, producer and director Till Nowak’s childhood fascination for the strange atmosphere of amusement parks. The video, starring Leslie Barany, is an incredibly well-written farse, highlighting what could well be called our imaginations’ greatest thrill rides. To bring these beasts to […]
Flirting with trying something new this year? February’s the month to fall in love with some of these of-the-moment design trends (or to take their curators out to a nice steak dinner): Ambigrams Tops our list because they are smart (both mentally and aesthetically). We’ve seen resources for type nerds flourish over the past few […]
Here at ST8MNT we are no stranger to working outside of the digital platform, with our hands. We often combine hand-work with digital programs to create layered design. Just look at these projects: Chris Cagle and Taylor Swift. I was originally asked to take charge of this crafty instructional just to give you an opportunity […]
