When I first saw this video I was surprised with this gentleman's passion and knowledge of typography and design, I loved the video and it stayed in the back of my mind. A few weeks later I was doing my usual "daily research", half blunted and taking in every page of every design magazine that my local Borders had to offer. I came across an interview with this same guy in the orange hat. Turns out he is the one man army behind Draplin Design Co. and has put out some of snowboarding's best design work. Apparently that hat and the rest of his merch sold on his website has paid his mortgage this year, along with doing design work for companies like Union Bindings, Coal Headwear, Grenade and Snowboard Magazine. Thank you Aaron Draplin for the inspiration...
