Cameron Moll: Colosseo (Second Update)
It looks like the section about Cameron in yesterday's post came a day too early. :)
This morning, Cameron Moll officially launched ColosseoType.com to accompany the release of his newest typographic print Colosseo.
The site includes several added treats. There is a new companion poster of the glyphs Cameron painstakingly recreated from the work of the meticulous Italian calligrapher M. Giovambattista Palatino (yes, that Palatino). There are limited editons and signed prints of the poster, along with stock vectors of the glyphs. And, in an added bit of generosity, Cameron is providing a discount code for 10% off your entire order during the site's introductory week.
The content is beautiful, the site is wonderfully well designed (as can be expected from Cameron), and the photos of the poster are crisp, macro, and, to put it frankly, exquisitely droolworthy.
A Quick Update
Okay, for no good reason, I've been sitting on these updates for a little while. Some are a few weeks old, but all are high quality.
Shaun Barrowes
Shaun Barrowes's newest album, "Emotion Constellation", is currently available for pre-order on his blog.
He's currently touring abroad (Mexico last weekend; Italy, Ireland, and the UK later this month) and playing with all kinds of exciting people. So, feel free to give him some love and appreciation on his blog, his Twitter, or his Facebook fan page.
Note: Sorry this one is so late. If you hurry you can still get the three bonus tracks and the personally autographed copy with your order. The timeframe for pre-ordering the album ends tomorrow, March 9th (!).

Cameron Moll has finally finished his newest typographic print, "Colosseo" (you know, the follow-up to this masterpiece), and it's even more impressive and beautiful than I had originally thought. Go ahead, grab a copy. Your walls will thank you. :)
Cameron has also redesigned, retooled, and revamped of his own slice of the web (as was necessitated by some pretty severe malware attacks in the past few weeks). He talks about the how, why, and what of it in today's blog post. The new design is smooth, clean, and running on Tumblr's blogging platform.

I don't know where I've been or why I hadn't noticed it yet, but Scott Jarvie has done some wonderful things with his website(s) lately (with help from jR Customization). Feel free to go on over and visit him. Be sure to check out the his "Jarvie Window" shots; they're fun.
Scott is currently in Las Vegas for WPPI and he's seems to be having fun. Go say "hi" to him on Twitter. And don't forget about the photography classes he offers via JarvieU. (I plan to catch one of them soon, when I get around to it. ;) )

Cameron Moll: Colosseo
On Tuesday, graphic designer Cameron Moll announced Colosseo, a follow-up to the typographical, letterpress print of the Salt Lake Temple he released more than a year ago.
This project began 12 months ago when Suzanne and I purchased tickets to Rome. It’s consumed a good portion of my working life since then. This is a sneak preview.
Watch for an interview with Cameron later this year.
Cameron has done web design for LDS.org and the March of Dimes, collaborated on a book on CSS mastery, and currently runs AuthenticJobs.com.
Coming Soon: Scott Jarvie
Somehow, between trips around the globe photographing brides, bears, and beaches, freelance photographer Scott Jarvie recently began Jarvie Digital University—an internship and study program for people who want to become better photographers. This educational venture sprang from his desire to pass along the talents he has developed "having spent thousands and thousands of hours...on hundreds of thousands of pictures."
On his site, Scott talks about the cascading benefits he hopes will accompany Jarvie Digital University.I feel like I have something to share. I felt I could train others with these valuable tools even to the point they’d be able to teach others in return.
...As students are trained, they [will] share what they’ve learned, what they know with the next batch of students. As students improve on their abilities, they'll take on more and more roles of paying it forward to newer students, solidifying [their skills] by sharing.
Learn more about Scott's workflow, his sources of inspiration, and his plans for Jarvie Digital University in his interview in the upcoming Issue 8.
