When Will Bryant and Mark Menjivar join forces, terrific things happen. Terrific chipboard things, to be specific.
Will and Mark worked together to create this identity system for the youth advocacy arm of Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA). Mark works with TRLA to offer aid to youth experiencing homelessness. He got in touch with Will to help him create a series of print items that could be at once beautiful, useful and durable. From that collaboration came three print pieces: a business card, a pocket postcard, and a Scout Book with custom-printed interiors that acts as a Youth Rights Booklet. Will also did the lettering and design for the snazzy TRLA Youth website. Chipboard internet? We’re into it.
In addition to being a chance to create a set of fun printed pieces, Will looks at this collaboration as an opportunity to help out: ”Enabling youth [with] the opportunity to better their circumstances is huge! Most of the kids come from rough backgrounds, so having access to this knowledge empowers them and provides hope for the future,” he told us. “It’s a blessing to be involved with a project that does this.”

Junichi Tsuneoka is Stubborn Sideburn, a Seattle-based character designer and illustrator who created this awesome Make Your Own Scout Book. What got us excited is that he really understands the power of a pocket-perfect notebook! Sweet, typographically strong tidbits such as"Free your mind blank pages" and "A small book for big ideas" make us really excited. Oh! And don't forget about "Big ideas can fit in your pocket." We agree.
We took some Hacienda Esmerelda beans over to our friends at Cellar Door Roasters and they brewed it for us using their hand-crafted pour-over set up.
Nicolas then added a few drops of the coffee to the ink, just to make these books extra special.

Ina Weise is a young lady with quite a bit of creative experience under her belt. She is currently an intern at The Post Family, but before calling Chicago home, she studied in Austria, Poland, and her native Germany. Her command of geometric shapes is astonishing, and her work spans mediums from textiles to printmaking to apparel to installation. Her installation at the Post Family's Family Room Gallery will close this week; if you're in Chicago, stop in to celebrate the closing of her show The Following of One Thing After Another.
Ina explores circles in this pocket notebook, incorporating pen, pencil, cut paper, collage, xerox transfer and woven paper.

“These words shaped history. They belong to you. Know them.”
This Scout Book is the synthesis of many of the things we get very excited about: metallic inks, historical documents, recycled paper, democracy…the list goes on.
Scout Books is proud to introduce a pocket-sized edition of the Constitution of the United States of America. Containing the Preamble, the seven Articles and the twenty-seven Amendments, this tiny book packs the content into 32 pages and is wrapped in a two-color chipboard cover printed in black and metallic gold inks. Typeset in the oh-so-legible Gotham font by Hoefler & Frere-Jones, this little guy is a contemporary update on a crucial text that aims to make the supreme law of the land more accessible. The front cover boasts Museo Slab, designed by the talented Jos Buivenga.
My goodness, that's a good looking book.

Tsilli Pines works in a creative whirlwind of exciting projects, and Alef Betty is her newest foray into the thoughtful amalgamation of rich cultural history and contemporary design aesthetics.
Alef Betty is a project that “reimagines expressions of Jewish identity…It pays tribute to where we come from, and aims to expand our cultural inheritance in its own small way.” Tsill has created a gorgeous website to serve as part historical archive, part family scrapbook, and part design shop. In the Stories section of the site, she explains the impetus for this poster project: a Hebrew alphabet poster that hung in her bedroom as a child.
I urge you to click over to the Alef Betty site and relish in the sleek, modern update of traditional Hebrew design, as well as the black-and-white vintage photographs of the women in Tsilli’s family. Dive into the stories behind the typefaces, and nab yourself a trio of chipboard posters: they come in red AND blue.
