Agency End-of-Year Gifts We’re Still Admiring a Month into 2025 🎁

The holiday season brings a sense of celebration, generosity, and the joy of unwrapping something special. In the design industry, it’s a time for studios and agencies to wield their craft to design thoughtful, bespoke gifts for clients and collaborators—expressions of creativity that go beyond the ordinary. It’s inspiring to see how design teams turn this tradition into an art form blending storytelling, craftsmanship, and surprise. At the turn of the new year, we tend to set things aside and look ahead.

While our minds may be on the year ahead of us, I wanted to take some time out to spotlight my favorite studio-made gifts from 2024 that truly stand out.

The Daily Heller: ‘New Yorker’ Covers, Illuminated 📕

Françoise Mouly has been The New Yorker‘s cover art editor for 32 years, during which time she’s introduced hundreds of illustrators to the magazine’s readers. In this 100th-anniversary year of the founding of the publication, it seemed a good time to celebrate the art that goes into this prized piece of editorial real estate. As co-curators, Mouly and Rodolphe Lachat collaborated with L’Alliance New York’s President Tatyana Franck and programming manager Clementine Guinchat to produce Covering The New Yorker, on view until March 30.

The sketches and printed works hang as if they are family members in the home of the thousands of subscribers who anxiously await each weekly issue. Although the gallery space is tight, it is so well-designed that the visitor never feels cramped; there is a lot to see and much to read. After spending a very satisfying Saturday afternoon at L’Alliance New York, I asked Mouly to tell us about the scope and highlights of the show.

I’m Wondering: Has Your Tea Gone Cold? 🍵

In our temporary housing, a small routine has emerged after three months, which is an impossible amount of time to even write. Three months, not in our home.

How? It remains utterly unreal.

At night, we wrap our temporary throw blankets around our knees. We pull the small kidney-shaped coffee table toward us. We heat the temporary kettle to 165 degrees. The temporary kettle keeps the water warm for when we want it after dinner, scraping up off the temporary couch to go fill two mugs with orange pekoe. We sit back down and let the television go bright again, sipping liquid that’s just the right amount of: Oh that’s hot.

The Daily Heller: How Did Pink Become a Color? 🩷

There is some controversy surrounding pink. The first sentence of the latest volume in Michel Pastoureau’s History of Color series titled Pink, asks: “Is pink a color in its own right?” It goes on to note, “There are grounds for doubting this or at least asking the question.” Scientifically speaking, it is “neither color in terms of material nor light, but simply a shade of red, absent from the color spectrum.” Tell that to the Pink Panther, which Pastoureau, a historian and authority on color, states has “done more for the glory of pink than all the merchandising for little girls of eccentricities of pop art.”

This book is a testament to the micro details of art and science, function and aesthetics melding together. Pastoureau’s text is spirited and filled with ideas. “The history of pink,” he writes, “is an uncertain and tumultuous one, difficult to trace because for so long this color seemed elusive, fragile, ephemeral, and as resistant to analysis as to synthesis.” Being the latest volume in his investigations into the colors blue, green, black, yellow and white, his “plan” is to go chronological. He looks at color not only in artistic terms but from scientific, social and religious values.

Meet the PRINT Awards Jury for Book Design, Annual Reports, Brochures & Catalogs 📖

A beautifully designed book can bring a story to life, crafting an experience that engages not just the eyes but the hands, the heart, and the imagination. Annual report design can transform dry data into a vibrant narrative, weaving numbers and stories together in a garden of typography, color, and visuals. A memorable brochure or catalog design is just that, memorable, not just informing but inspiring consideration, opportunity, or action.

Our 2025 PRINT Awards jury for these categories also creates memorable work for their clients and motivates their teams to push the boundaries of design.

Photographer Lou Bever Uses His Soccer Kit Collection to Reimagine Classic Art 🖼️

“It’s just a JPEG,” London-based Lou Bever shared with me recently about his photographic philosophy. This sentiment is indicative of the blunt and humble Bever, who mainly shoots portraits of friends and friends of friends at his flat.

“It’s incredibly DIY,” he said. That might be so, but there’s nothing that comes across as rag-tag or ill-considered about Bever’s work. Quite the opposite, in fact! Bever’s football (soccer) kit collection serves as the aesthetic center point of his vision, in which he takes existing paintings and other artworks from throughout history and reimagines them with people wearing his jerseys.

Underground Ink: A Short History of India’s Q***r Magazines 🏳️‍🌈

India was never inherently homophobic. As a land deeply rooted in tradition, the country is often cast as culturally conservative. However, this portrayal conceals layers of history and evolution that include an ancient openness towards diverse identities. In the early 2000s, India witnessed a quiet yet powerful transformation in its social fabric—an emergence of underground q***r magazines that have, against considerable odds, carved a legacy of resilience and creativity.

India’s underground q***r magazines transformed resistance into an art form, quietly asserting a truth long buried yet unbreakable. These publications, birthed from necessity and defiance, speak not only to the LGBTQ+ community but also to India’s shifting identity and visual culture. They are a testament to the fact that India’s relationship with LGBTQ+ identities is far more nuanced than the image of homophobia typically associated with it.

The Daily Heller: Did You Know That Letters Are Composed of Atoms?

It’s called Molecular Typography—and it’s experimental work by Kobi Franco, a leader in the master’s design program at Shenkar College in Tel Aviv. His extensive research has been collected into a deceivingly stylish book titled Molecular Typography Laboratory (Slanted), which explores the speculative premise that the characters of the Hebrew and Latin alphabets possess a molecular structure. Over 150 distinct experiments were conducted on the topic, categorized into 11 primary themes in the book: Foundations, Language, Gender, Formula, Weight, Gravity, 3D, Generative Research, Color, Word Play, and Type and Image.

Since I failed my chemistry and physical science courses in school, I asked Franco to give me a detailed remedial accounting of his fascinating work in short bits that I could understand. Thank you, Kobi, for your patience.

The Daily Heller: The Twilight of the Aged of Aquarius ♒️

I am a Baby Boomer (someone born between 1946-1964) who came of age during the Age of Aquarius, from the song “Let The Sunshine In” in the 1967 musical HAIR. Both these terms, however, have scant depth other than marketing labels for demographic segments who identified as hippie or counterculture.

The terms do offer a handy shorthand for stereotyping a generation, so, think about this, fellow Aquarian comrades: The Baby Boom’s peace and love revolution has been transmuted into a culture war of greed and hate by one of our generational elders (born 1946, a Gemini), Donald J. Trump, 78, represents the counter-devolution. Thanks to him the world is meaner and more addled than it was when the times were [first] a-changin’.

Merch Motel Launches Altadena Collection with Proceeds Going to Those Affected by the Fires ❤️‍🔥

Living in Los Angeles right now has been a surreal experience. For lucky Angelenos like myself who live in neighborhoods that have been untouched by the flames, “normal” life has all but resumed. But for those in Altadena, the Palisades, and other areas ravaged by the wildfires, life will never be the same.

In the face of utter devastation, a heartening silver lining has been the outpouring of people doing their part to support those who have lost so much. Pasadena native Barkev is one of these Angelenos, who has used his product line through his brand Merch Motel as a platform to raise funds. Barkev launched Merch Motel as a means of paying homage to and preserving historic signage and architecture in and around Los Angeles through pins, key chains, magnets, apparel, and more. I’ve been a fan of his work for years and was not surprised to see he had designed a collection of Altadena products as a way of giving back to a community decimated by the Eaton fire.

The Daily Heller: Why Didn’t Someone Give Fred Mogubgub Two Million Dollars? A Reprise

If in 1965 I had two million freshly minted, crisp green-backs, I would have had the honor of presenting this epochal artist with the dough to fund his film. But when Fred Mogubgub (1928–1989) was making revolutionary quick-cut, limited animation commercials and films (hard to find and all but forgotten today), I was a tyke with $10 in the bank. I was only 15 when I saw this painted sign for the first time and wondered “what is a Mogubgub?” I met him years after he created this billboard. He was then producing quirky opening and closing sequences for TV shows like Tom Chapin’s “Make A Wish”.

Meet the 2025 PRINT Awards Jury for Concept Design

Concept design calls on the creative ability to visualize ideas and abstract concepts in unique and impactful ways, to think beyond the obvious, and to see connections others might overlook. Great conceptual designers embrace exploration. They experiment with unconventional materials, techniques, or approaches, and welcome feedback as part of refining their ideas.

This year, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome our jury members to experience and evaluate the entries in concept design. These visionaries are from all over the world and the US. They bring a commitment to challenging norms and established perspectives as well as artistic talent and critical thinking, creating projects that not only look good but also spark thought and emotion.

AI Won’t (Completely) Replace Us 🤖

AI seems to be in every conversation around us these days. AI is coming for our jobs. We need an AI policy. AI is fed by wholesale thievery of intellectual property. AI will save us. AI will end us.

Clearly, we’re scrambling to understand the implications of a change so big and so fast we can barely wrap our heads around it.

Before we get into how we got here, and what the consequences of AI will be for branding and design, it’s important to start with one grounding idea:

"The inherent value of creativity is that it is an expression of the human condition."

The 2025 PRINT Awards Get Social 🤳 Social Media Content Design is one of 28 categories this year. As we’ve expanded our branding categories for the awards in recent years, it felt only natural this year to bring social media content design into the spotlight as its own highlighted category. We’re thrilled to see your most dynamic and innovative work. Social media content design is the art and strategy of crafting visually engaging, impactful, and platform-specific materials that resonate with target audiences. It’s both strategic and creative, combining typography, imagery, color, and branding elements to deliver messages effectively while maintaining consistency with a brand’s identity. Beyond aesthetics, successful social media design leverages storytelling, user experience principles, and data-driven insights to forge connections, inspire action, and amplify brand presence in the fast-paced digital landscape. Designers must also consider the unique dimensions, audience behaviors, and algorithms of each platform, from Instagram Reels and TikTok trends to LinkedIn thought leadership posts. This responsiveness ensures that the content is optimized for visibility and engagement while staying relevant to real-time conversations.
