Mia Christopher is a whirlwind of bright productivity. As a multi-disciplinary artist residing in San Francisco, Mia is filling the art world with color and whimsy, participating in group and solo shows up and down the West Coast as well as internationally. All this while she's working toward her BFA from the California College of the Arts. We can't wait to see what's next from Mia. Stay tuned for more Scout Books from Mia; she filled up THREE with playful illustrations and material studies.
Formerly known as Polychrome San Francisco, Standard Studio has launched its new identity and website, and included in the new launch is this fantastic Scout Book.
Standard is a small firm whose members share a common point of view and a common inspiration in utilitarian design. This Scout Book is the culmination of all these things. It was inspired by an old WWII canvas bag with the words "bag for inserting dies and No. 4 grommets" on the front. Standard loved the idea of applying the same approach to their books, thus the copy on their Scout Book. The word is that the books have already been a big hit.
“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This Scout Book is the synthesis of many of the things we get very excited about: metallic inks, historical documents, recycled paper, democracy…the list goes on.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.

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.
We shipped down a handful of DIY Scout Books to our friend Will Bryant and his design collaborative Public School for them to use at Renegade Craft Fair in Austin last weekend!
They had rubber stamps available to customize your own Scout Book in real time.

Alex Fuller makes beautiful, bright, bold work. In addition to being a partner at The Post Family, Alex is the co-founder of the Illustration Corporation and helped create Ogilvy’s brand design group, 485. Alex, you're a very busy guy!
We very excited that he took the time to fill this Scout Book so expertly with collage work. We even see some letterpress bits and pieces in there!
Robert Botsford's work can be found at fastlikerabbit.com. This business card of his makes perfect sense.
We. Love. These. Cards.
Jill Bliss is awesome, and this new work she debuted at the Land Gallery back in January has made its way to printed matter. Find these in Jill's online shop or at the Land store in Portland.
