Last year I started a new project called Modest Messages. Modest Messages initialized as a small online store where I could sell one-of-a-kind graphic design pinback buttons to designers looking for small unique buttons that truly reflected their passion for design. When the site first launched, I think I had just a handful of designs that centered around fonts, typography and color.

Today, however, the shop has expanded a bit, offering graphic designers and other creative cats a place to shop for a unique variety of graphic design t-shirts (for designers both big and small) and now is slowly experimenting with new products like license tag frames, stickers, embroidered clothing and magnets.

In addition to being able to browse through different topics like Fonts, Typography, T-Shirts, Color, Programming and others, visitors to the site who can’t find what they are looking for can submit their ideas to me for custom and future designs for any type of product.

As you can read, the store has truly morphed over the past year into a really unique place for graphic designers to shop for buttons, t-shirts and other products that really express their passion for great design. Take a look around the site and let me know what you think. If you’re in the market for something new from the store, you could get $5 off your purchase (visit the site for promo code).
