Books Ahoy!


In case you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks, I'm here to let you know that Borders is going out of business. In fact, if you would like to pick through the remaining scrap you have five days and counting. I found this gem and another quality book about two weeks ago (sorry about the whole "not posting thing"). The book pictured above is Graphic Design Referenced written by Bryony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit. This book is phenomenal. It takes me back to my roots in Graphic Design. As the name suggests, the book "references" every facet of design, ranging from history to typography to modern firms. I've only made it to page 85, but I anticipate the rest is just as good.

I can't say much about the second book except for the fact that it's called Letterhead & Logo Design. It's also written by Design Army. Enough said.

Work from RLPS

St. Camillus Assisted Living Rendering

This summer I had the privilege of working for RLPS Architects in Lancaster, PA. As an intern I was exposed to in-house marketing and design principles. RLPS was a great place to work because I was a bit out of my element and the fast-paced nature of work helped me learn so much in a short period of time. RLPS was incredibly rewarding, because a majority of their clientele consisted of schools and retirement communities. In other words, they designed according to functionality rather than just aesthetics alone. I could say so much about RLPS but I think I'll post some of my work instead.
