With all this 90+ degree weather we’ve been having, I’m dreaming (more than usual) of island getaways and sitting on the edge of the surf cooling off with a frosty beverage in hand. Luckily, I’m slipping away for a long weekend to Puerto Rico in a few weeks. In doing a little research, I noticed that the Puerto Rico logo […]
I’ve never been a big geography buff. That giant multicolored US map from elementary school still gives me anxiety, mostly because I couldn’t (… can’t) tell the difference between all those square states out West. But recently I came across a couple of really well-designed maps that caught my eye.
I love the modern but also slightly 70s feel of the […]
I’ve been living in NYC for quite some time and I’m embarrassed to say there are a number of places I’ve yet to visit — this list includes Storm King. From the website: “Widely known as one of the world’s outstanding sculpture parks, Storm King Art Center is located approximately one hour north of New York City, in […]
Most of the designing these days is done on computers — a lot of the designers in here even sketch electronically. But that doesn’t mean that all the design software in the world is any better than a good old fashioned pen or pencil sketch on paper. I’ve collected some of the various “doodles” done by the Leibowitz/Sugarspun team […]
Welcome back to Leibowit! As we mentioned before, we’re changing things up a bit around here. Each month, we’ll be focusing on a different topic that will allow us to explore different aspects of design, culture and ideas. We’ve assembled a team of both designers and non-designers to bring you a variety of content. We encourage you to join […]
We’ve been pretty quiet over here in 2010. As Paul mentioned over the holidays, we’ve been keeping busy with work from existing and new clients and initiating the great additions to our team (welcome Kim, Shannon, Mike and Max!). In that same spirit of change, we’re also making some adjustments to the blog and have […]
Like most people, I am very excited that Mad Men is well into its third season. I got the first season for Christmas and have been hooked ever since. Aside from the gorgeous styling and art direction, the excellent acting and the great looking cast, by most counts, it’s a pretty realistic glimpse into a creative agency in 1960s […]
The Nike swoosh, the CBS eye, the Apple apple. Marks like these have made brands famous and recognizable worldwide. While they may have gone through a number of iterations to keep with the times, they are instantly associated with their brand and create an emotional connection with the viewer. The New York Times “T” is another […]
I visited Chicago over the weekend after seven years, and was excited to see the city has added some really cool attractions. My favorite was Millennium Park, which was a former railroad track area that was transformed into an “award-winning center for art, music, architecture and landscape design.” There are a number of different works of art […]
A few weekends ago, at the suggestion of New York magazine, we took an afternoon jaunt to Governors Island, an island located 800 yards from Manhattan. It was a military base for two centuries, and in 2003 the federal government sold most of the Island to the people of New York for one dollar. The island […]
