Vintage-style NASA "travel" posters
New Work: Visions of the Future for NASA is an art project undertaken by Invisible Creature on behalf of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The three posters in the series have a vintage sixties style, and would have looked right at home on the set of Star Trek. The images are being used as part of JPL's Visions of the Future 2016 Calendar, which unfortunately is an internal gift unavailable to the public.

Uber's new in-house identity
Uber's new branding has undergone quite a bit of scrutiny and criticism since being revealed. Much of the scrutiny surrounds the intensive involvement of Uber's non-designer CEO, Travis Kalanick, and his micromanagement of the process. That non-designer involvement is very apparent in the end design, for better or worse.
