What We're Up To

Noa Emberson’s Visual Mixtape

We’re big fans of all things musical, typographic, photographic and just plain old well designed here at Cosmic, so, it’s no wonder we’re huge fans of Noa Emberson’s Visual Mixtape, commemorating 25 of his favorite albums. His typography and photography is spot on fresh, and his musical tastes ain’t too shabby either. Pick up a print or check out some more of his work here

MAH: Part II

The second weekend of the Museum of Art and History’s Glow event lit up downtown Santa Cruz with fire-dancing, DJ’s, fire-powered pipe organs and sculptures. We were pleased to film the event and cut together a short video of how it all went down. Enjoy.

HK Honey

This beautifully shot short film follows product designer & founder of HK Honey, Micahel Leung, though Hong Kong as he communicates the values of bees and beekeeping. HK Honey is an organization made up of beekeepers, artists and designers located in Hong Kong. Check out their great site here.

Klim Type Foundry

Although we’ve mainly been doing web ui this week, there is never a wrong time to take a break from work and find some cool typographic inspiration. This week we’ve been admiring the beautiful works from Klim Type Foundry. http://www.klim.co.nz/

Railway Brand Throwbacks

We came across these awesome and iconic railway brands from the early to mid 1900′s. Not only are these just full of style and exceptional typography, but are also so emblematic of the modern aesthetic which was driven by the industrial revolution in the early 20th century.

More Coffee Stuff

Our friends at Studio Holladay made us some mighty fine Lattes after our lunch break today. Here are a few photos of the goods.
