I end up re-playing these way too many times, thankful that putyouon drops a new one each week 😂 This one was so good, maybe it was my mood all week, but I couldn’t get enough of this one. It’s loud, it’s bass-y, and it helped me push through the week.
Rebrand 🔴
Pentagram’s Matt Willey and Jonny Sikov built the identity for Helions, a new publishing house started by photographer Jack Davison. It’s super simple and sharp and reminds me of some of the work Paula Scher did for New York City’s High Line park. It’s subtle, but conveys strong meaning and is flexible enough to let all the creative work behind it shine.
Look 🍸
Tim Ferriss put together a 10-year podcast anniversary bottle with LALO Tequila team. Each one’s been hand-wrapped by a Wixárika artist and given only to podcast guests—sooo you can’t buy them, womp womp. The project’s already put over $100K toward supporting Wixárika communities - if you're curious, he shared more about it in a post on IG. I love the design of this so much.
From Me 🎒
For this week’s just make it project, I used After Effects and Unicorn Studio to create this looping animation to help you pause, breathe, and take a moment for yourself.
These little weekly projects pull me out of my usual work rhythm. They give me space to make without overthinking it. I’ve been enjoying that part the most.
Have a great day 🙌
