Just another volcano.

Stunning views as we head back from another shoot.

Soon. ▪️

There are passion projects, and then there are obsession projects. The countdown is on for the launch of the latter. An epic 1300+ days since we began this journey, but the end is in sight. Expect more on this over the next few weeks. ⬛ 🟧 ⬛

That was fun. #prince4Ever

Don’t mind me. Just creating 128 individual open graph images… half way…

Loving this new album by Kerala Dust. The cover art is right up there too. tidal.com/browse/album...

Do I have any friends from NYC here? I’m going over for work (3-6 October) and wanted to see if there was a more friendly accommodation option than randomly looking online for a soulless shoebox.

It also moves…

Found out yesterday that my poster was shortlisted for a NZ typography poster exhibition. Base on a true story.

Just learned that sea-monkeys cost NZ$16 these days. 😱 that’s nuts!

I’m hiring a freelance visual designer to work with Offgrid, my design studio. Long-term retainer. High-end work. Work directly with me. Apply below.

Any Framer freelancers in here? Had an enquiry for some work that I can pass over to you. lMK.

Does anyone have any connections at copy.ai? I have a problem with my account and they don’t respond to inapp messages.

NZ wanting to join in on all the action.

I may have inadvertently designed a thing for legendary jewellers Asprey. Time will tell if what they make is based on my idea. Of if they go their own way. (Image isn’t the thing…)

Today I learned that a 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons. Except in NZ/AUS where it’s 4. Maybe it’s common knowledge, maybe not. NZ tablespoons are 20ml, and US are 14.8ml. And our cups don’t match either. 😱

Is there anyone here who knows anything about DAPs? (Digital audio players). I’m reminiscing about the original iPod and exploring what options there are to release my music library from various hard drives. FLAC capable, and something that’s going to last.

😳 Was it something I said? Putting the F in 2FA!

Not to brag but I had cuddles with a pair of 3 week old chocolate labradors today ❤️

www.iorama.studio/graintouch A fun looking drawing app built a bit differently: limited colours, based on Risographs, vector output with a print flavour.

@princehits.bsky.social did the Prince feed disappear overnight? Or is it just me?

You snooze you loose. Tidal now has handles.

I think one of my fellow Posts people bought a blackletter typeface a while ago. Maybe they posted it here. Or maybe it was on Posts. I wish I bookmarked it. It was softer than a standard black letter… maybe I’ll never know.

This looks interesting. Vector software. But node based. And the roadmap suggest one tool to do it all (including motion). graphite.rs#newsletter-s...

New branding project on the horizon mean I get to hunt for new typefaces to play with. ❤️

Any brave soul who updated to the beta here? What do app folders look like on iOS?

@record.club small suggestion: there are album reviews in many languages across the app. I’d love to understand them. Currently I’m selecting the text manually (on iOS it’s always been fiddly) and pasting into another app. A one click copy would be helpful.

I can’t begin to express how much I love doing this sometimes. Shooting in NZ for a product for company based in HK, made by hand by craftsmen in Europe. Teaming up with an amazing creative photographer. And a client who is allowing us to be creative. Somebody pinch me.

Shooting today. ✨

Six episodes. Six conversations with design pioneers. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

15 years ago I bought a cap from a shop in Hawaii. Together we have seen a lot. Been beaten by the weather. Had adventures. Got more wrinkles. Lost our shape a bit. Today I found the same cap in my local surf shop. It’s my forever cap.

Solid track by Skunk Ananse. And after my artist vs designer debate it resonates deeply. And artist is an artist. tidal.com/browse/track...

Macro fun this weekend. Maybe something to do with my recent designer/artist conflict. Maybe just because it’s fun.

A long time ago I called myself an artist. Then I became a designer. Just found out two of my artworks have new homes so going to take the family away for the weekend. There’s an NDA on them for a bit so I can’t share much more than this for a while.

🌱💀 New game. Tough rules.

This is the kind of AI assistance we need more of. Time saving stuff. selkie.design/substage/

I’ve just written some stuff about the very dull topic of archiving design work. I don’t pretend to know everything but hopefully it helps someone out. Also Ryan asked the question @ambrose.bsky.social Hopefully there aren’t too many typos… medium.com/@caspianieve...

Finally finished the conversion of the bank vault into a quiet thinking space.

For anyone who obsesses over typography: you might learn something new from this today. I did. graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/14...

Squeezing in some time to start on the next film poster project. (Nope, I’m not doing this designing in public thing 😜)

Upselling a rebrand to a client can be risky. This little looping doodle helped them see the potential of the new direction.

Fun generative tool. asemic.tech

Today I’ve been designing a very unusual book. Point size between 4 and 7. Yup. Tiny. Very niche product. 🔎

A while ago I joined River while looking for a Posts replacement. I only share behind the scenes stuff there. Very niche I know. Today they sent me one of my photos back. Digital to physical. And cool stamps from Canada. ❤️

Random thought: I’m hunting for an icon library that’s quite blocky. Happy to pay. Ideally independent (not Noun/Streamline). Any suggestions team?

Weekend walkies. Stunning forest to explore today.

Just fooling around with software, seeing what happens.

Has Mono changed ? I was sure I made that one off purchase, but now it’s only sub? As soon as i hit the shutter this 👇@novikoffdesign.bsky.social
