Joanna Newsom, Les Savy Fav poster designers featured in HOW

By Emily

Putting my disdain for Joanna Newsom’s [style] aside, I was delighted to glimpse one of her concert posters in October’s issue of HOW, a freaking cool design magazine.

Putting my disdain for Joanna Newsom’s [style] aside, I was delighted to glimpse one of her concert posters in October’s issue of HOW, a freaking cool design magazine. The designers, Ken Hejduk, Mike Burton, and Joe Parlett, are Little Jacket, a creative force not solely committed to postermaking, yet fabulously excellent at it.

The three visual-communication design graduate students from Kent State University use rubber stamps and do-it-yourself screening techniques (borrowed from the Uni) to create the darling little masterpieces. Their posters mainly fill the Cleveland venues hosting some of the hippest, happeningest little-known acts around. They include (but are definitely not limited to) Calexico, Spoon, Ted Leo, French Kicks, LCD Soundsystem (with M.I.A.), Decemberists, Walkmen, Modest Mouse, and Animal Collective.

Merging passions – say, graphic design and music – and being successful at it is one of the greatest-sought jobs. Little Jacket are actually more multifaceted than it would seem, having done identity branding to bottle labeling. Ah, the young and fruitful. May all ye fair well, live long, prosper, eat chowder, all that jazz.
