Hello, Summer
Let’s celebrate the first day of summer! This bold and breezy graphic is a nod to the legendary Saul Bass—the master of minimalist storytelling. Known for designing iconic film titles and posters (think Vertigo and The Man with the Golden Arm), Bass believed that simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.
Here, a single bird perched on windswept reeds greets the blazing summer sun, rendered in Bass’s signature style: strong silhouettes, flat color, and emotional punch. It says everything without saying a word.
Today marks the first day of summer—the longest day of the year. Nature’s big exhale. So step outside, soak up the light, and let it all in.

Quiet Spiral
This one is funny for about two seconds, and then it starts feeling a little personal. A lone figure sits in an open field, back turned, posture calm, while their head has become a frantic ball of scribbled pencil lines—part storm cloud, part doodle, part “nothing to worry about” from someone clearly worrying about everything. Next to them, on a plain wooden table, sits a single red apple, doing its best despite being hilariously underqualified.
