The Beginning

As the first entry to this blog, I will explain a little about who we are and what we're doing.
And, go:

Not Design is a collaborative between designers to find and fill a need by pulling in appropriate people and resources. This concept is on common grounds with a quote by Bob Dinetz, "I could help you if I knew what problem you were trying to solve." Ultimately, we are creating experiences that both inspire and inform.

The Wild West Type Tour has been a natural progression from a 'last hurrah' for professor Fox to an intrinsic project that allows us to explore and analyze historical and contemporary type. We will be visiting the Hamilton Wood Type Museum, the Eisner [American Musuem of Advertising and Design], Frank Lloyd Wright's Schwarz house, among other relevant destinations. We are focused on making an informative and inspirational film for educators, students, and other type geeks.

Currently, we are digging through plans, selecting paper from a mountain of donated French Paper (for letterpressing at the Hamilton), assigning tasks, ordering Taco Bob's, and other forms of sifting, organizing, and collecting.

We leave the day after tomorrow!
