Check out the “Handmade Digital” talk that we did at last week’s Adobe conference!
The Made Shop: Handmade Digital
Adobe just posted the video of The Made Shop’s recent talk that I did with Nathan and Kim and Adam. There’s no live camera so you can’t see our pretty faces, but the full presentation is there, complete with questions and answers.
If you’ve got an hour or so to kill and want to see a bit behind the scenes into our design process, check it out.

Speaking at the Adobe MAX conference this week with The made Shop. Come say hi if you’re here:)
I’ll be presenting a panel with Marke and The Made Shop at this years Adobe MAX conference (read about our work here). This should be quite a cool panel!
A few slides presented with absolutely no context from our upcoming Made Shop presentation “Handmade Digital” at Adobe MAX.
If you’re interested in coming to the conference and haven’t signed up yet, we’ve got a promo code MXSM13 that will save you $300.
I’d assume the majority of you who follow my tumblr are most familiar with my film music, but I also do a lot of design and conceptual work with my family at The Made Shop. This year we’ll be speaking at the upcoming Adobe MAX creativity conference in Los Angeles about our approach to physical design (much of which overlaps with the way I approach making music for movies).
Hey!
The Made Shop is speaking at this year’s Adobe Max conference in L.A.
Our talk is called “Handmade Digital” and we’ll be talking about a number of recent projects we’ve done using large-scale physical construction of graphic and typographic elements. Should be an interesting conversation. If you’re attending the conference or know anyone who is we’d love to have you!

Designing the SkyMall Logo…
(or: a conversation I have with myself every time I fly for the entire flight)
Okay, so let’s make it a simple wordmark, but stacked on itself. Okay, cool — so we should probably do it all uppercase if we’re stacking it with some white space between th—… Oh, okay, you want it stacked directly on… ok. But if we do that, it might look a bit weird. What? You’re sure you also want it lowercase? Because the lower-case ‘y’ has a descender that will—… Just make the ‘Y’ capital? Really, because, then you, uh, have a capital ‘S’ and ‘Y’ but the ‘k’ is lowercase which—… No one will notice? Okay. The thing is now the bottom of the Y is sorta landing on top of the two ‘l’s in Mall. Just move the ‘l’s over to the right? Alright, the thing is, that uh sort of leaves the ‘a’ just sitting there alone with really weird loose kerning? It’s fine? And you’re sure it doesn’t bother you how the ‘S’ sorta merges with one side of the ‘M’ making it into a vertical ligature, but the ‘k’ sorta checkerboards against the other side of the ‘M’? No?
Alright, so you’re good with this?
Great!
I would be happy if The Made Shop designed everything from now on.And now, a few things we made that you will see in Looper. We designed the main title, and all the various billboards, computers, phones, and interfaces.
In honor of the Looper Soundtrack release on iTunes today, here’s a sneak peek at one spread from the 24-page making-of booklet we designed for the release.
Marke at The Made Shop did an amazing job on the 24 page booklet, which comes as a free download with the digital album on iTunes.
Also, we’ve mentioned that a physical edition is in the works. We’ve partnered with a cool boutique label called La La Land Records to release a special limited edition run of CDs (3,000 to be exact) which will go onsale next Tuesday over at www.lalalandrecords.com. There is no pre-order, so you just have to hop on when it goes live if you’d like to have a physical copy (It’ll be available in some shops, but I suspect your best bet will be to buy it directly from their website). I believe the CD will be $19.95 and it comes with a few extra underscore tracks along with some original film mixes of songs as well.
Happy album release day!
Guess who’s finalizing the artwork for the Looper soundtrack?! Damn straight, it’s Marke at The Made Shop.
Most people don’t know it, but every bottle of Stranahan’s is hand- bottled, labeled, and packaged by volunteers and friends at Bottling Parties (with pizza and a bottle of Stranahan’s as “payment”).
Last week, as a sort of celebration, The Made Shop and a bunch of our friends went down to the distillery to run the bottling line for a day on one of the first batches bearing the new labels we designed.
All our friends in this video are dear to us — and, I’m proud to say we nearly set a record for speed and quality control :) If you happen to pick up a bottle in the next few months, look for Batch #90 — that’s us!
