PUBLIC SCHOOL is a group of creative folk working on the east side of Austin together, yet not together. The same studio, different professions. Similar tastes, varying favorite Bob Dylan song. Consistently unified love for the Mexican food on the east side of town.
Our collective and individual clients include Chronicle Books, Conde Nast, Sweet Leaf Tea, Iron and Wine, Baylor University, Ogilvy & Mather, LIVESTRONG, Pearson Publishing, Stussy, Time Inc., NIKE, The University of Texas, The Sunday Times of London, as well as a few other folks.
As it turns out, quicksand and sinkholes come about in a similar process. With hell opening up in Guatemala recently, now might be a good time to learn about them. Vanity Fair does a great job of explaining what caused it on their site. As a side bonus, Bill Nye will help explain quicksand and how to survive it in the above video.
The next time you think to yourself that you’d like to do more for the environment, just remember to consider your font choices on future design projects. Matt Robinson and Tom Wriggelsworth (who has an awesome name) decided to draw out large scale type specimens of popular fonts to measure ink usage of each. They used the remaining ink in the ballpoint pens as their means of measurement. Expectedly, Impact scored low “green” marks while the comparatively lean Garamond and Courier were at the top of the class. More pictures of the process after the jump.
Space is rad. There’s no simpler way to say it than that. I’m sad that the Shuttle is being retired and this awesome set of photos over at The Boston Globe reminds me of why. Space is rad, that’s why. Thankfully though Obama says we’re just getting started.
More photos after the jump, or see all of them here.
This guy named “Mr Mallon” built a pinhole camera to photograph the sun’s activity during the day. He forgot about it and left it in his backyard for several months, resulting in this bizarre but beautiful photograph of the sun’s travels through the sky. Incredible work Mr Mallon.

I’m filing these under “Things I wish I knew I wanted for Christmas about a month ago”. I just found them today and am in love. Ross Berens designed these beautiful informational posters that make me wish I was 8 years old again and going to Space Center Houston with my Dad.
