The Language of Wood with Daniel Moyer
http://vimeo.com/36303401
This video celebrates the launch of Daniel Moyer’s wooden furniture collection. It’s a beautiful narrative highlighting the design process of felled wood to table and chair. The storytelling is soft yet strong and invites the customer into the workshop to understand the TLC behind woodworking. What a powerful marketing reel to support a solid product.

Twitter Influencer: Jennifer Heuer
Graphic designer Jennifer Heuer loves to read, so it’s no wonder she wound up excelling in book cover design. After graduating from Pratt, she spent nearly four years designing covers with the art directors at HarperCollins. In the beginning of 2009, she moved over to Simon & Schuster to join their first-rate art team. Jennifer has also worked with Little,Brown, W.W. Norton & Co, Egmont, Freepress, Grand Central, Random House and Faceout Studios.
Jennifer loves the field of design because it allows her to “dip into so many different topics and partially become an expert for a day on something in which I’d never know I’d find an interest. I’ve read books I would never have picked up and am glad for it.” Her love for learning and exploration is evident in her twitter feed, where she happily shares interesting reads, exhibitions and observations.

Behind the Zines: Self-Publishing Culture
Social networks may dominate today‘s headlines, but they are not the only platform radically changing the way we communicate. Creatives such as designers, photographers, artists, researchers, and poets are disseminating information about themselves and their favorite subjects not via predefined media such as twitter or blogs, but through printed or other self-published projects—so-called zines. Those who publish zines are mostly interested in sole authorship, namely that all components including text, images, layout, typography, production, and distribution are firmly in the hands of one person or a small group.
With a cutting-edge selection of international examples, Behind the Zines introduces the broad range of zines that exists today. The book examines the key factors that distinguish various zines and introduces projects in which the printing process significantly influences aesthetics or in which limited distribution to a small, clearly defined target audience becomes part of the overall concept. Behind the Zines not only documents outstanding work, but also shows how the self-image of those who make zines impacts the scene as a whole.
