Text of the page (random words):
s logo and belly band designs this is the second and final part of the interview what were your thoughts and ideas behind the furrow books logo when you call it furrow books i m a big fan of a lot midwestern design there s some incredible designers and work coming out of the midwest and when you first told me the name i initially thought of the furrows in the field but when you went into a little more about the graph and the lines that you put behind that pages you know to plant the seed then take it away and you re left with just the crop or the content and that was one of the best descriptions that i d heard as far as that goes so i sat down and started sketching i knew it was going to be small i knew it wasn t going to be very big on anything so i figured something that kept in line with your other business like the zeller writing company so i wanted to keep it along that same line but differentiate it a little bit the f was one of my first ideas it just seemed to work the furrows the way they were drawn made it looks like rows but also looked like books you know it just like match made in heaven it was very simple and to the point people got it it was kind of like what i talked about earlier you know you could have done some big gradient this or that or some transparent doo dad or whatever but this was all i needed this f fit perfectly with what you described and fit with the type you know large size small size it works no matter if it s the size of dime or on the side of a building and people can read it and go from there that was how it turned out and i think it works very very well how many different designs did you work through or work from i d have to go back and look at my sketchbook but i probably made around 100 different sketches at least some of them were originals some were variations on the ideas that i picked upon but everything that i did kept coming back to the design that you have now at that point i just said that if i can t think of anything else there s no other way and like you know it s just staring you right in the face that that s the one then i presented it you liked it and we went from there we finished the logo worked out the belly bands and everything just kind of fell into place once we realized exactly what we were going for were there any specific influences you drew on for the logo i looked at a lot of fields i went out to my local farmer s market and checked out some of that i looked at a lot on the internet i know about books and memobooks and different things like that and i think backfiels said it best if you want to design a good logo for a dry cleaner go spend some time at a dry cleaner forget about asking about what others did for a dry cleaner and just sit there until something pops until you can write something down or draw something out that can represent that are there any changes you d have made to the logo had you had more of an artistic license for it i don t believe so i mean we believe very well in what we put out if we feel like something is not right we ll fight for it but i have no qualms with what s out there right now whether it s working with the type with a sans serif vs a serif you know but in the end we wanted something that s good with everything else and stand out from the rest while keeping with that midwestern feel and i think that in differentiating itself and going with the typeface we chose it was very well done generally what you see me put out i m 100 supportive of that s why a lot time i might show you a couple options but we ll talk serious about what we think would be the best thing if we re like something s not right then we ll scrap it and go back to the drawing board but i wouldn t make any changes whatsoever to this logo how do you feel about the results pretty good i mean i haven t seen any feedback on the logo but then again you have to understand who you re designing for i was designing this for you basically it was your idea it was your concept you know i mean you ve been working in this business before and knew what people were looking for in a book as far as designers that have seen it they like it i haven t heard anything back from your customers but i think it turned out very well i think that it s uniquely your own and separates itself from the rash of memobooks that are on the market right now it s not about this cover or that cover it s about the content so contingent on the success of the kickstarter campaign how do you feel about having your work on the thousands of notebooks across the world haha this is where it starts to get real for me people a lot of time work on these big projects that they re so proud of which they have every right to be but then this little mom and pop store comes along and they think they ll just put a little something together for them i don t subscribe to that at all the work that i did for you is the same level of work that i d do for anybody we give everything into all of that but the idea that thousands of people will hold something that has something of mine on it yeah that s really cool and really humbling but the idea is that it s not so much that my logo in their hands but your book is in their hands we just helped people identify with something it was your concept and your idea and we just gave it an identifier and that was it that being said seeing that identifier on this book is pretty darn cool i m not going to lie aside from the adobe creative suite and your computer what tools do you use to create your designs i always have my memobooks with me at all times a pen a pencil and some drafting tools often times you ll see a fully sketched out version at actual size before i take it to the computer it takes a little bit of extra time but if it doesn t look good there then it won t look good in the computer but yeah just your basic pen pencil and paper are there any tools besides your computer that you just couldn t do your work without i ve got to have my pencil you know that s where this all comes from where this all starts there s no way i d be able to do what i do without being able to visualize and sketch it down make mistakes erase and start all over again there s no way that i could do what i do without that i honestly find that to be i mean i know we need the computers and everything and i have nothing against these computers and this amazing software that we get use but if i don t have my basics like that then nothing is going to get to the computer what s in your everyday carry usually i have a couple notebooks on me at all times one pen at least my wallet my keys then a couple of the studio temporary stickers or buttons to give out i try to stay pretty light now including my backpack in that anywhere i go i carry my studio with me i carry a book the eooq book brand bag i think it s called boa i ve had that bag now for three years and hasn t worn out one bit since i bought it it s a phenomenal product i honestly almost called my studio backpack just because of how i cart everything around but that would pretty much be my everyday carry do you have any advice for aspiring graphic artists there s no quick way to get to where you want to go there s no shortcuts there s nothing i have a design degree but it s a piece of paper i was self taught i learned things through experience and making mistakes you know just sit back buckle down and do work it s not about even doing what you want to do your best advertsiement is just doing good work it s not about saying that you re only going to do a certain type of work only going to do this type of work or only want to work with coffee shops it s just about whoever you re doing the work for do a good job that s the best thing i can say i don t want to be known for designing a certain type a logo or a certain thing i want to be known that if you give something to scott at the studio temporary or wherever it is it s going to be done right it s going to be done well and it s going to be done on time those are the three things that i really want to be known for you know this stuff is fun i have a fantastic time doing this and it should be the same with your clients treat them well the same as you d want to be treated and just do a good job for them that will take you so so far what s next for the studio temporary more work i m always trying to get more work whether it s blue collar type work or scouring facebook for people that need help or even calling people out of the blue like i did for you however that works i m always looking for more work i want to be able to do this for the rest of my life and it s all just about the next thing now we are going to be speaking at creative south april 10 12th 2014 my buddy mike jones is going to be putting it on in columbus ga we will be leading off the last day of the conference on the 12th we re going to be speaking at 9 o clock if anybody wants to show up that s what s next keep finding more work working hard speak and tell our story and take it from there that maybe the last time we get to speak but we ll see i m kind of putting everything into that so we ll see what happens find scott on twitter studiotemporary instagram studiotemporary facebook thestudiotempoary website http www thestudiotemporary com share to facebook twitter google linkedin 983 thank yous posted on may 19th 2014

pocket size packs regular large size packs and both sizes of the founding supporter editions almost 4 000 individual furrow books were preordered and are planned to be shipped out in july we can t thank everyone enough for all of the support they showed us throughout the campaign no matter if it was with a pledge in the campaign or just spreading the word about our project every little bit helped and furrow books would not be produced without you now that the campaign is over surveys have been responded to and campaign funds have been received after the 14 day waiting period production is set to begin very soon and we ll make sure to keep everyone updated as much as possible through social media and our little corner of the interwebs here now available for preorder for those who

remaining founding supporter editions available for preorder and all preorders will ship out after the kickstarter backer packages are shipped out so plan on late july early august for non kickstarter

snag a preorder soon share to facebook twitter google linkedin we made it posted on april 17th 2014 under updates with just under three weeks to spare we reached our funding goal of 12 500 on kickstarter which means that furrow books will become a reality i can t thank all of you who backed and shared our project and got us to where we are today it s amazing the amount of support we ve received and knowing that these were once just notes on a piece of paper but will now be produced and thousands of furrow books will be in the hands of hundreds of people across the world is almost unbelievable even though it ll still be a few months before these will be in everyone s hands we re still elated at where we are already with this project and can t express our appreciation enough while we ve reached our base funding goal we have some great stretch goals now posted to help us make sure furrow books gets off on the right foot and can come out with new editions and products sooner at the time of this writing there s still about two weeks remaining in the campaign and we re on track to hit at least a couple of our stretch goals so if you re interested in furrow books or have already pledged and would like to increase your pledge to help us reach our stretch goals there s some time remaining to do so our first stretch goal is to hit 16 500 at which point we ll get some awesome die cut stickers created and sent out to each backer receiving a physical reward this is more of our way to say thank you for hitting this milestone along the way to our other stretch goals where we ll produce some new products our second stretch goal is to reach 19 500 at which time we ll produce 2 500 large size limited edition furrow books these will be great counterparts to the pocket size limited edition furrow books already available and will only be produced if we reach our stretch goal they will be available for an additional 10 to any pledge 6 4 for international backers just like the pocket size founding supporter limited edition these beauties will only be available in this ultra limited quantity and each will be carefully numbered by hand our third stretch goal is to hit 24 500 at which point we ll produce three additional ruling cards for the pocket size furrow books that means six additional ruling options after we hit our previous stretch goals we ll open up voting to the community where we ll decide which rulings to create once unlocked these three packs will be available for an additional 4 to any pledge 2 for international backers our final stretch goal is to hit 25 500 at which point we ll be able to produce three additional ruling cards for the large size furrow books offering an additional six ruling options just like with the previous stretch goal we ll open up voting to the community as we get nearer to hitting this goal once unlocked these three packs will be available for an additional 5 to any pledge 2 for international backers so with that i just wanted to extend my sincere appreciation to all of those whom have supported this project so far and to all of those which will continue to support us as we finish out the campaign we were recently voted the top project for the week of april 7th via crowdsifter co and were featured on their blog offering tips on producing successful crowdfunding videos so
