Looks great Ty. I love how Pocono Modern has an early 70′s appeal.
I’m fairly partial to one of these, but I love those trees!
How exciting! Completely deserved! Great work as always!
From someone who is in Nashville…I love it.
Just bought a couple of LOST posters and thought I’d stop by and say hi. Love your stuff.
i want to be like you when i grow up


LogoLounge just put out a great new book and Mattson Creative is proud to be included! We have 5 logos featured in what is called the Master Library. We’re honored to have our work selected for this impressive collection.

Mattson Creative is honored to be featured in the Communication Arts 2009 Design Annual. My logo for the Counting Crows/Maroon5 tour was selected as an outstanding trademark by the juried competition.

CommArts is the leading journal in the field of visual communication and the design competition is the most respected in the industry. Out of 2,700 submissions only 200 entries were selected to appear in the annual. I’m proud to be one of them.

My logo for Counting Crows/Maroon 5 is featured in this year’s Print Regional Design Annual! 10 years ago I saw the annual for the first time – and it had a huge impact on me as a young designer. I remember pouring over each page of amazing work, thinking, “THIS is what I want to do!” So, it’s definitely an honor to be included in this year’s edition. Thanks, Print!

Congrats! That’s awesome
I recognized you before they did, so does that make me more cutting edge than Print?
sweet!
SO proud of you, Ty!!


A couple weeks ago I had the honor of speaking to the visual design program at CalBaptist University. I had a great time meeting the students and sharing some recent work and my thoughts on brand identity.
Mike Berger – my friend and former Art Director – is really building a great program over there. I was impressed. Looking forward to doing it again soon.

the fellas want to be you, the ladies want to be with you. look at ‘em…you have them eating out of the palm of your hand. kudos, mattson!

Later this month I will be speaking on design at CalBaptist University. I was honored to be asked to share and I’m looking forward to meeting the students in the program. Hopefully I won’t be too boring. The plan is to keep it short, show lots of work and get to the Q & A. Should be fun. Go CBU! (What is the CBU mascot? I’m writing this on a plane so I can’t check. It’s a Christian school so I’m going to guess it’s an Eagle.)

It’s the CBU lancers.
Eagle was a good guess..
Nice. Thanks. Go Lancers!
You’re kind of a big deal.
Good luck.
May the force be with you

Pocono Modern is featured in the Summer issue of Atomic Ranch Magazine. Congratulations!

Just received a copy of Drip. Dot. Swirl by my friend and fellow designer Von Glitschka. The book contains 94 visual patterns and a DVD. It’s a great resource, and I am proud to have my work included in it!

Here is the stationery system that is featured in the book. This was a brand identity design project for Sierra Properties, a community developer in Florida. I used one of Von’s patterns to create a subtle texture on the letterhead and business card.
Get the book here.

Shut up! Really looking forward to seeing all that you come up with… especially if you work on the Barbie line.
