And To All A Good Night

Graeme Kennedy | Friday, December 21st, 2012

Beginning with Thanksgiving and ending after the New Year, we are inundated with the commercials, customs, obligations, sights, smells, and sounds of the season. At Might & Main, some of us grow weary of all the fuss surrounding this time of year. But regardless of your traditions, the last month of the year does provide a natural end point—a moment to pause, reflect, and take stock of where you are, what you've done, and what you have. All of us are fortunate in one way or another, and at Might & Main we have many things to be grateful for, indeed.

Might & Main Celebrates an Historic Moment with GayMarry.me

Late Tuesday night, Maine became the first state in the nation to recognize same-sex marriage through popular vote. A majority vote recognizing the right of all citizens to marry regardless of gender and sexual orientation was momentous, especially coming as it did after years of gains and setbacks for equality in Maine.

The Visual Display of Quantitative (and Nerve-Wracking) Information

Sean Wilkinson | Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

Nerve-wracking, calming, infuriating, or unsettling, this is high season for political polling. When the figures get too much to bear, and our heads are swimming with conflicting numbers, we here at Might & Main HQ like to focus on the information design behind the polls.

Flashback Fridays, 1st Edition

Graeme Kennedy | Friday, October 26th, 2012

This is the first of what we hope will become a regular feature here on the blog, embarrassment willing. It all began a few weeks ago when Sean started looking through some of his archives on an old, dusty hard drive. He queued up some of his earliest design—oddball art school projects, initial contract work, even flash videos!—for us to see, critique, and generally chuckle at. That got us talking about everyone's first endeavors in design, art, and being creative in general. We discovered that we each had our own examples of awkward and undeveloped work. Fortunately, now that we had enough distance from our naive and headstrong former selves, we could see these projects for what they truly were—stepping stones towards the creative people we are today.
