The New York Times commissioned this growing logo design for their fall 2011 travel issue. Los Angeles-based garden designer Judy Kameon designed and planted the iconic T, keeping in mind shape, texture and a selected color palette.

Tanya Aguiñiga is an LA-based furniture designer who was raised in Tijuana, Mexico, and you can see her roots and the mix of culture come through in many of her designs. These chairs from her collection are reclaimed and mixed materials. She adds some softness to classics and vibrancy to often unappreciated basics.

These are a few of the works of GMUNK (Bradley G Munkowitz) during his stint as a design director at Buck Los Angeles. They consist of brand pitches that never ended up seeing the light of day as they were intended to. But thankfully, he posted them up on the GMUNK site for us to see. If my accepted designs are ever half as cool as Bradley's rejects, I'll be pretty pumped.
