White Paper Press
About fifteen years ago, Sara Burgess put an x-acto blade to an unfinished sketchbook. She liked the silhouettes, the relationship between positive and negative space – still does. Today, she draws and then cuts, slicing thousands of lines until a story emerges – seeing and planning for what stays versus what falls away. She says things like, “your brain has to think of what...

Manifest
“For the rebrand­ing of dig­i­tal agency Manifest, Eight Hour Day took a con­cep­tual approach by explor­ing the notions of time, human expe­ri­ence, con­nec­tions and cre­ativ­ity. And as a result, in addi­tion to the usual brand­ing deliv­er­ables, the team also devel­oped an impres­sive 40-character glyph lan­guage.” I love how clever this concept is, and how it makes you think...

Name and claim a new category. 2. Clearly articulate what you do, without being boring. 3. Give people a great back story that explains why you exist on your about page, bio, profiles and in...

Akiko Ida is Japanese and Pierre Javelle is French. They met studying photography at the Paris “Arts Decoratifs” art school.’ Stumbled across these images, had to share them. - WT
