Just something cute.
He looks somewhat vacant, but it’s not a bad trait in an elephant.
——————————————————————————————————————- 2010|365: A Design Project
In an effort to keep from getting creatively stagnant as I go through the course of a 9-5 design job, as well as staving off general laziness, I’ve undertaken this personal project.
Every day, rain, shine or somewhere inbetween, I will be making something cool. The results may be photos, design pieces, experimental type, videos, or anything else I feel is worth showing. The only caveat will be that each piece will have to be made that day, even though it might not get posted on the same day.
The end result of the project will be a book (possibly 365 pages long, maybe shorter to reduce costs), which I will make available to anyone who wants to pay for one.
In celebration of the fact that the project has hit 100 days, and is still going strong, I’m doing a little promo thingamajig. I’ll be sending out a mailer in the next week or so, as part of my ongoing steadfast delusion that print is not dead (yet). I’m also hoping to sell some books when this is complete, so I may as well lay the groundwork now.
So, if you’d like to get one, (who doesn’t like getting mail?) post your address here (wherever here may be) or email it to design@markstokoe.ca and I’ll put you on the list. It will likely be kinda cool, and I promise no confetti bombs.

It seemed like a while since I’d done anything bookish, so I thought I’d fix that. I also happened to finish this today, so it seemed appropriate to make a new cover for it.
The story revolves around a cellist (partially fictional) during the siege of Sarejevo. The cellist decides to venture out to play every day for 22 days at the sight of a mortar strike where 22 people were killed waiting to buy bread. It’s a pretty good story.

I’ve always thought of myself as more of a vintage Jaguar sort of guy. But this may make me reconsider.

Somehow in the giddy confusion that is Friday, it ended up turning into a penguin.
He is pretty cute though.

While I’ve mentioned before that I try to keep work-related separate, I’m making an exception for this, as it’s kinda been my baby lately. This is the rough plan for the shoot we’ll be doing next week.
If you’re wondering what we’re going for, this will give you some idea.

A an abbreviated bit of process documentation from a photoshoot I assisted on for my two favorite ladies’ grad thesis project, Inflatable Fashion

Check out the actual project in all it’s awesomeness at the 2010 ECU Grad Show, opening May 1st!

"In perusing this atlas of obscure typographical faunae, it behooves the reader to consider the most highly esteemed pinnacles literature and records of commerce in which these most strange and exotic characters were once known to dwell within."
Introduction, Faunae Typographica Obscura
Been thinking about what happens to glyphs when they outlive their usefulness, and the quiet and secretive existences that all the little daggers, bullets and florals live out in the shaded footnotes of academic texts.
