What's happening.

We're much better at putting the latest on Instagram. Follow us @unsoldstudio.

How do we convince @thekresgefoundation to let us work here every day?! We proofed the book we have been designing for the Foundation in the big beautiful conference space that overlooks some of the historic farmland their office sits on. Excited to see our months of work soooo close to finish and we can’t wait to share the final book once it’s off the press.

Today our partner @meagbarry was interviewed for @313inabox podcast, a podcast for artists by artists. Interview extraordinaire @seanseaevans you better watch out because host @james_pyne is coming for your job! James did great research and had a list of killer questions. We will share the episode when it goes live, but for now go give them a follow to be most up to date on new episodes.

We want to do a special shout-out to @pagesontheave, our partner and bibliophile @meagbarry’s (she averages reading about a book per week) favorite independent bookstore in Detroit. We discovered the bookshop while working on our #gograndmontrosedale campaign, and we think more folks need to know about this magical little shop. Go for books (but also events such as readings and signings) and while you’re there pick up this charming illustration done by our friend @swisscottagedesigns. Swipe right to learn more about @pagesontheave and to see some samples for what we are making for the GO campaign!

@culturelabdetroit BEAUTY invites we designed are hitting the streets! We are really excited for you to meet all our beautifully ugly creatures we created for the upcoming events. Be sure you’re following Culture Lab to learn about how to attend in October. 📸 by @culturelabdetroit

Meet our fall intern @bseyka! Brendan is currently a senior graphic design student at @ltu_coad. When he’s not busy designing for US, he’s playing music in his band @venamorrisband. Brendan knows how to play guitar, drums, bass and dabbles with piano, and owns a xylophone and a melodica. Originally a northern Michigander, he’s a hockey player, which makes our Canadian partner @lil_crum VERY happy. This past summer he traveled to Portugal and Spain where he ate the best kebabs ever, and we are going to get him to recreate the recipe before he graduates. So when you see him at meetings, in the office, or hanging out in Detroit, be nice. Say hey to Brendan!

Honoured to speak about design and entrepreneurship among the female powerhouses at Coast to Coast, organized by @designmilk @colonydesign @bedrockdetroit @designcoredet

Yesterday we hosted a small gang of creative women at our office for a pre-work day coffee hangout. We know it’s easy to cancel evening plans when you’re tired, you’re on deadline, or you just don’t feel like leaving your house, so we decided an early AM meet-up would be a great way to start the day without too much interruption. Some women we invited we are close with, others we’ve only emailed with and have been wanting to meet. We felt like the summer was slipping away without having the opportunity to get together with all of these people individually, so we decided to roll everyone into a low key event we called “Get Buzzed with Unsold Studio”. Invitees were asked to fill out a questionnaire that shared some of the latest “buzz” from podcasts to books to tv shows, as we all need some well deserved escape time from our work. At the event we got “buzzed” on coffee from @newordercoffee, introduced one another, caught up with each other, and handed out these risograph-printed posters featuring a directory of attendees and their “buzz” in hopes of building connections outside our morning together. Illustration and poster design by our own @meagbarry for the event. Thanks to all the women who participated and visited yesterday! Is this type of thing something you’d be interested in attending next time? Comment below if you’d like to be on the invite list for next time!
