Check out www.elephont.com. This is Don Pendleton’s site. He is the designer behind the Alien Workshop visual phenomena.

He is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Pay special attention to his skateboard graphics. Amazing. My favorite of the industry. His use of type, color and form is not only inspiring, it is contagious.

I met him in San Diego at the ADR tradeshow. He was very personable and offered some good advice and conversation. That makes two good things to come out of Dayton, Ohio: Guided By Voices and Don Pendleton.

Also spend some time at www.alienworkshop.
