Rocket Science: Dozfy

On the relationship between art and medicine, Bruce Lee, and how everybody connects to drawings of dogs. — He’s a great doctor but an even better artist. Follow @dozfy and get your own Dozfy @dozfyworks. You’re a medical doctor and a working artist, is it hard to keep those two lives separate? Or do they fit together naturally? In the beginning, I tried to keep them separate, repress them. But I actually accepted each role, and I used their strengths to feed the other, which makes me as a person better.

Design Review: Pro Sports Branding

Teams are remixing their brand identities more than ever in order to juice revenue and stay relevant. — Up until the 1990s, logos, jerseys, and uniforms for professional sports teams in the U.S. were a relatively static affair. An occasional throwback jersey here, a patch honoring past greats there. Teams would go 10 years (or 90) without a major design change. The marketing of merchandise used to center…
