If having a number of design projects in play on the city’s (or country’s) flat spaces (bus, billboard) is some measure of the designer’s currrency, and if the cool-quotient of the clients is factored in, Dan Stiles is on a bit of a roll. One of ultra’s favorites, Stiles has recently done the look of both Seattle’s 2007 Bumbershoot fest (w/ a quasi 3D palette, so good) and Portland’s upcoming PDX Pop Now Festival.
