And what is Daily Monster?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s always hard to break through when you\u2019re presenting your content online, particularly when so many common sense domain names are already taken. The new domains are a great way to liven things up and grab people\u2019s attention.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When an idea pops into Stefan Bucher\u2019s head he can\u2019t stop until he somehow makes it real. And so began the Daily Monster project. Each day, he films himself putting a few drops of black ink on a piece of paper, blows it out with compressed air, and creates a new monster character out of the resulting shape. \u201cIt\u2019s an exercise in beating procrastination and fear. I\u2019m scared of the white page, and the ink blot makes it so that I\u2019m not starting a drawing, I\u2019m finishing one, which is much more fun!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Much like the monsters themselves, over its life of 10+ years, Daily Monster has expanded and evolved. The website and it\u2019s videos have spawned a book containing stories about each monster sourced from his fans all over the world, and even an app, the <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/developer\/dailymonster.com\/id451102549\">DAILY MONSTER Monster Maker<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>In its latest evolution, Stefan re-launched DailyMonster.com as <a href=\"http:\/\/DailyMonster.ink\">DailyMonster.ink<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u201cAfter running DailyMonster as a .com for the first 10 years, having a .ink domain for an ongoing exercise in creating characters from blown ink was just too good of a fit to pass up!\u201d He adds, \u201cIt\u2019s always hard to break through when you\u2019re presenting your content online, particularly when so many common sense domain names are already taken. The new domains are a great way to liven things up and grab people\u2019s attention. I love that I now get to use 344.design and dailymonster.ink to show my work!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More about Stefan\u2019s work <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymonster.ink\/about\/\">here<\/a>, including the six books he\u2019s authored (so it should come as no surprise, he\u2019s won a D&amp;AD award for book design, too).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh off his Main Stage presentation at RGD\u2019s Design Thinkers conference, notable designer Stefan Bucher stopped by our booth in the exhibit hall and left as the enthusiastic new owner of both 344.design and DailyMonster.ink. 344.design is now home to the company website for Stefan\u2019s studio, 344 Design, through which he has created designs and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
