Studio note 01 / 06

Good kerning is invisible. Bad kerning is a group chat.

  1. Good kerning is invisible. Bad kerning is a group chat.
  2. Make the logo bigger. Then smaller. Then ship it.
  3. Whitespace is not empty. It is paid for.
  4. Every brand guide has a page nobody reads. I wrote some of them.
  5. The best feedback starts with “what if”.

Nick Panczak

Michigan made me, but the mountains shaped me. Colorado stole me, Oregon added it’s texture, and Utah currently claims me. I ski, hike, camp, float rivers, build whatever I can dream up, and have a soft spot for good cars. Life stays balanced thanks to my wife, two dogs, a 21-year-old cat who refuses to retire, and a healthy appreciation for strong coffee and good whiskey. If it involves fresh air, movement, or making stuff, I’m in.

My design origin story is part rebellion, part revelation: tossed from 4th-grade art class for unruly splatter art work, then fully hooked when Visual Communication courses in ’99 opened the door to a craft I’ve never stopped chasing. Curiosity leads; design follows.
