Michael Cina is a long time inspiration to many of us in the modern design field. His work for We Work For Them was an influence on a lot of young designers in the last 10 years. WWFT also eventually lead to the start of the online storefront You Work For Them that many of us have purchased a book or poster from at one point or another. Michael is making some moves in 2010 and returning to his first love, design. He has recently updated his personal experiment depot True Is True for the first time in a long time. He has also launched Michael Cina Associates where he will be taking on design projects in 2010. It will no doubt be exciting to watch for the result of his efforts and we at Changethethought wish him the very best of luck in his new venture.

Minneapolis-based design studio Eight Hour Day continues to stay busy and build their client list with some big names, most recently Digg. Their clean, stylized, consistent and easy-on-the-eyes approach to design and branding makes them very appealing. It’s easy to see why they are keeping busy.

I know I have written about I Am Mint Condition before but damn it all if I am just not continually mind blown by the silver artistic brain bullets fired from the psyche of Travis Stearns. They aim straight for my art heart and fill it with inspired confusion. I just flat out love his collage work. It makes me want to crack open a can of creative whoop ass and work it out.

Hip new work from Minneapolis native Colin Strandberg. Makes me want to put on some legwarmers and wear some of those ’shade’ sunglasses. Anyone remember those? Sure you do. C’mon.
