The Industrial Design Society of America went all out with a three-pack of custom interior Scout Books, complete with a pull out section! They were created by Ziba for an IDSA “cross-craft” discussion about DIY design held right here in Portland, Oregon. The three-pack consists of one part sweet Portland city guide, one part informative conference/symposium particulars, and one part handy, blank sketchbook.

This shelf of Pantone soy-based inks is probably one of the most photographed things in the shop! They seem to be instant eye-candy to the graphic design students we often give tours to.

These Scout Books were made for the Brand New Conference this Friday, Nov. 5th! Brand New is a one day event held by UnderConsideration on the development of corporate and brand identity projects. They have quite the line-up which I can imagine makes for a super full and intense day of identity talk. Don't worry though, there will be an after party.
Fun, funky work from Amy Martino! Amy is a NYC based graphic designer and illustrator, and her bright, textured work has us swooning.

Schlage came to SMS for a creative display that promoted their unique new product line, Schlage LiNK. The display needed to be versatile to allow it to be used in both inline and endcap settings. SMS created an eye-catching display that was completely modular allowing the client to use the display in multiple settings, with common parts-saving money and simplifying in store-processes. SMS designed a spinner unlike anything the lock aisle has ever seen, with a unique shape, second-surface acrylic graphics, and pullout panel inserts to educate consumers about product use. The display was inspired by a more European feel, taking a fresh, modern approach and veering away from the traditional wooden mounts. The display also features a 3 push button LCD explaining features and benefits of this exciting new product as well as a hidden button on the display that functions as a training video for store employees.

Luke Ramsey is awesome. He creates beautiful, intricate pieces of artwork that include zines, murals, paintings and prints. He also runs Islands Fold, an independent publisher and artist residency in B.C., Canada.
We ran into Luke last summer at the Portland Zine Symposium, and saw him sketching in a Scout Book! Quickly gave him another, and within weeks he had filled it up and sent us images. At long last, here is what the fantastic Luke Ramsey did with the 32 grid pages of a Scout Book.
Awesome! Thanks, Luke.

Wallace Cochran writes a creative non-fiction history of the rocket, and Marriage Records‘ publishing imprint MPH has released it in this gorgeous limited-edition book. One half of the band Drakkar Sauna, Cochran’s text lent itself to lyrics for the band’s latest release on Marriage Records.
This book was lovingly assembled from two colors of interior text-weight stock and wrapped in a cover letterpress printed by EMprint Press. Design was done by AF Jamison. As much an exploration of publishing as it is of paper and ink, we’re proud to have worked on this specimen of fine printing.
Mia Nolting is a Portland-based artist, illustrator and designer. She filled this Scout Book with page after page of illustration, collage, typography and musings. We're impressed.
The Scout Book cover was designed by Bwana Spoons, another Portland-based artist.

Stay tuned: we interviewed Mia for our soon-to-be-released Scout Books blog! Awesome!
