Yulia Brodskaya

CARRIE: J. Crew's beautiful paper typography made me think of the gorgeous work of Yulia Brodskaya. Yulia was born in Russia and now lives in London. She likes to "experiment and explore ways of bringing together all the things she likes most: typography, paper, and highly detailed hand-made craft objects." The result is amazing.

j.crew, i love u

MORGAN: So I'm not sure if there is a new creative director at J.Crew or if I am just taking a closer look, but they seem to be getting more and more artistic and are continuing to be a source of inspiration for me. Before it was simply their color palettes and photo styling, but now, all of their communication including their website and catalogs are so unique! I just love this type made of cut paper! Keep it up, J.Crew!

Stendig Wall Calendar

MORGAN: This calendar, based on a design by Massimo Vignelli in 1966, was the only calendar I knew growing up. My parents had this hanging on the wall for as long as I could remember, and the huge, bold, black and white pages were used as giftwrap by my dad for every single holiday! Things like this make it no surprise that I ended up a graphic designer! Recognized as a contemporary classic, the original is on permanent display in New York's Museum of Modern Art. You can buy this calendar at many retailers now including Crate and Barrel and Unica Home (where I found the section "What's Your Stendig?" with the above animal photos! love it!)
