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.
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.

File this as another “Why did I think of that?” post. I’m really digging on this poster idea by Eivind Soreng Molvaer. Head over there and see some of his other clean type based work.
I’m in love with this poster by Brandon Schaefer. Growing up Ghostbusters was my favorite flick (aside from Back to the Future 2). Check out the rest here including some well known ones from our friend Olly Moss.
These mechanical animals look great alongside one another on this poster. Individually they’re destroying some of the last untouched habitat on the planet, but collectively…man this is a great poster. Big ups on creative ways to illustrate the danger of rainforest depletion. I also like the names of some of these things. I personally like “Highlander Rad Harvester” and “Plustech Timberjack Hexapode-Harvester”. I personally detest the work they’re doing.

I just got back from a week of hiking up in Wyoming and while I was there stumbled across Ranger Doug’s work in one of the visitor centers. His company is recreating and republishing the old original designs that were produced by the WPA’s Federal Art Project between the 1930’s and 40’s to help promote the national parks. With all of the talk of surging attendance and a renewed interest in the U.S.’s national treasures, I’m in love with these things. They also give grants for restoration and interpretation of original WPA-CCC works at national parks. Rad.
I’m picking up a copy of Yellowstone and possibly Wind Cave. General Grant is amazing as well. See the rest here.
File this under “I Wish I Had Found It Like A Year Ago”. I love this poster and may catch flack from the guys up here for posting something about a one Presidential election too late but whatever. It turned me on to Trey Wadsworth’s work which I like.
