Designer of the Week: Mikey Burton

This week we are going to the Midwest of the US to check out the works of the great designer Mikey Burton. Between tons of identity work and gig posters Mikey has a special love for letter press and pure design.

I'm Mikey Burton, a hard-working creative person from the Midwest with a passion for design. There is letterpress ink on my blue collar and I wear my Ohio-shaped heart on my sleeve. I graduated from Kent State University with a BS/MA in Visual Communication Design (fancy term for graphic design). While at grad school, I started a company with two friends. Over the past four years, our company Little Jacket has worked for such clients as The Sundance Channel, Wilco, Spoon (the band), MTV2, and the Cleveland RTA. In that short time, we've received much recognition; I personally have received awards from Communication Arts, Print, HOW, CMYK, and Logo Lounge. I work hard, design fearlessly, and love what I do.

Designer of the Week: Jennifer Daniel

Starting this Monday, every week will be bringing a new designer of the week to display some great designs and cool information about them. To start up we have Jennifer Daniel, designer for the new york times.

"Illustrators say I'm a designer. Designers say I'm an illustrator. Mom says I'm a genius."Jennifer Daniel

Most designers think Jennifer Daniel is an illustrator and most illustrators think she's a designer. Either way, her work has been published in a bunch of fancy places. When not working at The New York Times she can be found in Greenpoint, Brooklyn- probably in her studio updating her obnoxious url http://httpcolonforwardslashforwardslashwwwdotjenniferdanieldotcom.com or twittering while cycling in in the park eating tacos. She is from Kansas.
