Cooking With Her Kid

One of Something Massive’s founder, Rebecca Coleman, undertook a huge project when she decided to start Cooking with her Kid. Rebecca set out to cook one meal a day for 365 days with her son Gus. The aim was to open up Gus’ eyes, mind and taste buds to a whole new culinary world; while at the same time she was teaching herself to cook Behold – Cooking With My Kid. With more than 100 days in they’re going strong, cooking amazing food, taking super cute photos and racking up the Facebook likes like no one’s business. Rebecca and Gus have been featured on Daily Candy, Oh Deeh Doh, Prudent Baby, Craft and many other popular sites. I think all her followers (yours’ truly included) are hoping their is a cookbook in the works. Hats off to Rebecca for this great idea and we all read in awe as she is actually able to do this (on top of running an agency, oh, and tending to a new born) daily. I am honored to have designed the blog and created the little logo header up top. Bon Appetite.

Standard Motion Launches new Maptote site

Caroline and I launched a new site for my pal Michael and his wife Rachel. They’ve been running Maptote for a few years and they’re killing it now. They’re going to be on Martha Stewart’s show this week – well done guys. Have a look at www.maptote.com.

Redux is Live

We’ve just launched our largest project ever over at Standard Motion – a brand new website for NYC-based photo agency Redux Pictures. Many hours of hard work have come together in a fine finished product. It’s so satisfying to see pencil sketches turn into wireframes into comps into coded pages into a working cms and finally into a live site. Many thanks to Caroline Keim for making it all come together. Please have a look at www.reduxpictures.com.

The New LA Times website

When I used to work at SFGate.com (back in 2000) we used to make fun of the LA Times website which we thought looked worse than our site – which at the time has a teal background with red links. It wasn’t easy being a designer there and then.

The new LA Times site, which launched a couple of weeks ago, is really a fantastic improvement. They’re showcasing a lot more photography and there is a sense of simplicity and improved clarity throughout the site. Hats off to the team over there.

The coverage of the fires there, which includes lots of user submitted images, is quite spectacular in a scary way.
