The recently redesigned Destination Kohler has received a Bronze Adrian Award from HSMAI (Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International) in the “Web Marketing, Integrated Market Campaign for Consumers” category. The site was judged based on overall creative as well as Online Booking integration, new consumer tools (things like Click to Chat, Talk), and ease of navigation into the site.

Special thanks to Jes Foster who designed the user interface.

Lies for Leo

hogan — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:39:29 +0000

When my son Leo was born, my then neighbor – artist Mike Lash – decided to create a series of paintings based on some of the not-quite-facts that adults tell children to help them make sense out of the universe. He called the series ‘Lies for Leo’, and asked me to design the accompanying book. Mike’s style is intentionally child-like and so I decided to adopt the board-book format, similar to the ones I read to Leo before bed… over… and… over. Here are some photos from the current gallery exhibition in Hong Kong.

The real kicker is to see Leo in the Hong Kong press. There’s also a thumbnail of the book, which I am awaiting a copy of.

The Ann Sacks catalog has been requested for permanent collection in the Newberry Library’s History of Print. If you’re not familiar with the Newberry or the collection, it’s absolutely amazing and always an honor when someone like Paul Gehl selects your work. Some info on the collection can be found here: http://www.newberry.org/collections/wing.html

Our little catalog will be in great company, with original works and printed ephemera dating back to the 15th century, including some of the first printed manuscripts and some of the greats of design, typography and printing, for instance: Bodoni, Goudy, Tschichold, Didot and Gill.
