Andy Baron is a San Francisco-based designer who spent several years with Landor Associates before teaming up with Tomorrow Partners. I love his recent redesign of the Miller High Life packaging, and overall he’s got some solid work, and smart ideas like his proposed identity for the San Diego Zoo, based on their catchy tagline, Wild at Heart.
Tünr | Fine Tune Your Feet.
My good friend Jerrod Modica runs his own shop, T2AP based right outside of Philly. He recently launched his new brand Tünr, a dope line of laces and socks to go with your favorite sneakers. Right now Tünr offers 10 styles of socks and 10 styles of laces. The laces come in multiple designs, lengths, widths — plastic and metal aglets — and they coordinate with the socks. Part of the collection will also be collaborative, the first of which is with Dee & Ricky, with many more efforts in the works.
Find’em near you, they’re well crafted and super-comfy.
Along with print and apparel, design shop Workerman produces some really beautiful handcrafted wooden handlebars out of select hardwoods. Form over function, these bars aren’t intended for actually riding, although, they look so good I might take my chances.

Solid mix of work from the oddly named I Never Kissed a Dog aka Adrian Merz.
Studio Ten and a Half was founded in 2007 by Charlotte Bolton and Jessie Earle who set up their own shop after working together at the renowned design agency Pentagram in London. Work includes brand identities, editorial design, exhibitions, corporate literature, signage, packaging and websites.
Really impressive work and online presence from Hornall Anderson. Featured here are some of the assets from their latest effort for the launch of Google’s G1. They also maintain a blog, which is unique in that it is timeline-based, horizontal format, and all flash (not to mention they just posted about Philly!)
KRINK is a popular line of ink and markers produced by legendary graf writer KR ONE, mostly known for his metallic silver dripping paint, now offers K-66 Steel Tip Markers. 10 colors. Nice.
