I’m Michael Faber, a freelance graphic designer in Durham, North Carolina with an interest in print design, branding, typography, photography, dogs, cooking, letterpress, and a bunch of other goodness. I love talking design so if you have a project in mind or just want to chat about the relative merits of postmodernist typography or traditional Southern cuisine (I’m a Western NC barbeque guy - please don’t hold it against me), feel free to contact me.

The DOUGHMAN is for lazy people too
(mostly cross posted at okaygreat)
So not too long ago I reminded all of my fellow Durhamites that the third annual DOUGHMAN is coming (and yes, it must always be capitalized – style guide y’all). A lot of you were probably thinking, well, that’s pretty damn cool, and all the eating stuff sounds awesome, but [...]

Gear up Durhamites, The DOUGHMAN is coming on May 29, 2010.
For those of you that don’t know about the DOUGHMAN, it’s probably the coolest event you’ll ever hear about. It’s the world’s premiere team-relay-quadrathalon-slash-eating-contest and it’s coming back to Durham for the third year after a ridiculously successful 2009 race which was featured [...]
Olympic Posters and the Glorious Man
It’s Olympic season, and for a design nerd like me, that means looking at this year’s posters and graphics and seeing how they stack up to the greats. It’s the designers’ conventional wisdom that work like Kamekura’s 1964 Tokyo posters, Aicher’s 1972 Munich Pictograms, and Wyman’s pop-art-infused 1968 Mexico emblem are among the most celebrated, [...]

Sunday precedes Monday, idiot.
So, thanks to some eagle-eyed Flickr users, I realized that my 2010 calendar was a day ahead of itself. Or behind, or something – either way, the dates were wrong. This was fixed a while ago and anyone that was sent a poster recently got the proper dates. Anyone who got the wrong dates has [...]

Happy New Year
Thanks to everyone who has stopped by this year! More great stuff to come in 2010, including this years’ calendar, which I’m putting the finishing touches on and will have up in the next few days. There are a few sneak peeks of the calendar progress on my flickr.
If you haven’t yet, feel free [...]
Speck on a Speck on a Speck
I remember as a kid going to the IMAX to see Cosmic Voyage, probably around when I was 12 or so. I don’t remember a lot about that time, but I very clearly remember watching that scene where the camera progressively zooms outward from the Earth and Morgan Freeman guides us through a trip through [...]

Monday Awesome: Xmas + Guitar Hero
Two things which I’m not entirely familiar with, being a Jew with no Game Consoles. But this is amazing. Read more about it here.
