Alex Cornell (Scott Hansen’s Design Intern) is one talented dude. You have to check out his latest (school) project: Rebranding Playboy and the Book Production.

For my MFA program, I’ve done a conceptual rebrand of Playboy. Basically, the magazine has gotten rid of nudity, is comprised entirely of articles (”I read it for the articles”) and is now represented by a sly fox who has consumed the old bunny logo.

Haven’t been this impressed with an identity in a long time. City of Melbourne totally nailed it– flexible, useful, fun to look at. Awesome. Via Level11

We can’t attest to the fact that Brooklyn-based illustrator Dust La Rock (a.k.a Joshua Prince) is either a gentleman or a scholar, though we certainly don’t doubt it, the least we could do is vouch for his being an absolutely awesome graphic designer. As designer-in-residence at Studio B and art director at Fool’s Gold Records and Syintific Skateboards, this extremely talented being lends his incredibly deft and imaginative eye to quite a few visual arenas. The best place to take a gander at just what beauty is in the eye of this beholder is by checking out his site. There you can revel the splendor of the oodles of web, identity, and print work that have complemented brands such as Missbehave Magazine, SeedNY and various NYC area DJ/Promoters. Dust La Rock is about to blow up, so best take cover. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
