Bevel-craptastic Rainbow Apple Text

Was all caught up in the iPod excitement yesterday and then I noticed this: Niiiiice use of default Photoshop filters and ugly rainbow gradient.  Not the typical clean, crisp apple design I’m used to.

Nano-chromatic? wtf?  Apple also refers to the iPod Touch as “The funnest iPod ever?” Who did apple hire to do the copywriting? Needless to say I still bought a touch (boylston apple store didnt have them…i ordered online…boooo).

Scott Hansen, ISO50, Tycho Music

I’ve known about this designer+musician for a while. One of my graphic designy friends gave me one of Scotts posters as a gift a few years ago. So after this poster I discovered his other work that features lots of smooth vector graphics, texture, angle and great typography:

Scott is also a musician, and he is the man behind Tycho – a mix of laid back electronic music. He describes his music as “rolling sonic landscapes that extend off into the horizon”. I listen to his music when I design. It puts me in a calm, serene state.
