Guess where I went today for the first time ever?
Pretty darn cool, I must say.

Thanks to the ladyfriend for the photo assist.

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.

You can track the project at the 2010|365 website or check out everything else I get up here.

This was supposed to be a logo.
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.

"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.

Insert Your Address Here

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.

Significantly more than I ever thought I’d get to.

Subject:
Stokoe, Mark Andre
Test Results:
Subject professes to see a heroic, but somewhat menacing mecha-chicken creature crouching as if about to spring into flight.
Diagnosis
Subject needs to go outside more often. Recommend 1.79L/week Propeller Honey Wheat drip for 60 days.

Spent a good chunk of the afternoon making Rorschach-esque inkblots at work this afternoon for a project we have coming up. Some amusement ensued (mainly mine at taking some time off looking at a screen). The wall in front of my desk now looks like a cross between a parent’s fridge, and the psychologist’s office in an asylum.
