Steinway & Sons Redesign

Steinway & Sons Redesign:

Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain, describing (and showing) his approach to the redesign:

One of my personal goals for this project was to get away from relying on the same techniques that I've become comfortable with over the years… and it was actually harder than I thought it would be.

Phaeton Typeface by Kevin Cornell and Randy Jones

Phaeton Typeface by Kevin Cornell and Randy Jones:

The always-entertaining Kevin Cornell:

Khoi Vinh Resigns as NYTimes.com Design Director:

A good friend and long-time inspiration for me, Khoi is moving on:

It wasn't an easy decision. I've been at The New York Times for four and a half years now, four and a half years that will doubtless figure prominently in my life for years to come. There were some rough patches, as there are with any job, but on the whole it's been the best job I've ever had….

In the short run, I'll be doing lots of stuff on a smaller scale: personal...
