These 1″ buttons were the result of a quick design exercise at Viget Labs. My first set was inspired by a collection of vintage and antique buttons I inherited from my great-grandmother. After sorting through and scanning a few favorites I layered them on top of one another in Photoshop to create interesting textures. Then I played around with the contrast and coloring to achieve a pop-art look. The second collection came from bits of typography found in a 1905 Burr’s Monthly Magazine. Having owned and restored a Victorian home, I have a great appreciation for the amount of consideration the Victorians put into ornamentation and design.

Every so often Viget lets us go off on a creative tangent and design something cool and totally unrelated to client work. We play for a few hours and post the results for all the world to see. This t-shirt is one such creation. After spending a long weekend driving around Central New York’s rural farmlands, I returned to Durham homesick for the crisp fall air and rolling hillsides- hence the sheep.
