Thanks to Dribbble, I stumbled across the work of Christopher Meeks a while back and am routinely wowed by his work called Daily Layout. Which is pretty much like it sounds, his attempt to build a new layout every day. I suggest you check out his work. And while on the subject of Dribbble, it’s…
I’ve finally taken the time to put some of my work here on the site. Shame on me for letting it go empty for far too long. Now that the hard part is out of the way, maybe I’ll be inclined to add my work a little more regularly. Thanks in advance if you take…
I kept a few stats Feltron-style leading up to and during our stay in the hospital with kid #2. Thought I’d share them with anyone else who wanted to see them. It hasn’t been done but could be turned into a poster if there was interest (from family, I am assuming). View the full size…
More like this, please. Hoefler Text, Black (via ampersandampersand)
Because I know the rest of you are as completely enamored with beautiful type like I am. From the ampersandampersand blog.
If you follow this blog through RSS, I’d encourage you to click on through today to see the new digs. It’s been a little while coming, lots of after-hours time put into it over the last few weeks doing everything from sketching to designing, coding and then re-coding. Working on your own stuff is one…
“Case Study” is an oft-used term by many design firms as a part of (or in lieu of) their portfolio of work but I would consider it mostly misused in each situation. A case study, as I understand it, comes from the field of science or research that usually includes experiments, surveys and/or analysis on…
End of week internet goodness for 09/25/09 The web wasn’t particularly funny this week but it did provide some some well-built infographics – which I can never seem to get enough of. Click the images to see the full graphics. First up, ever thought of printing out the Internet? Umm, me either. But if you…
I’ve mentioned before that one of my goals is to some day move in a direction that points me away from actual client work. I have nothing against clients – I am thankful for each and every one of you – but I’ve always got ideas and projects floating around in my head that I’d…
Loving this logo by Stephen Layfield of Sydney, Australia based Layfield Design. Not a huge fan of the all-Flash site but there are some other good finds there as well if you take the time to look around. Can any typophiles tell me the font name of the What’s Next project under his Logos section?
Once or twice in the last year I’ve gone searching for a pair of cufflinks. Unfortunately, these weren’t carried in any of the stores I ventured into. At $50, I’m not inclined to order these right now but I am adding them to my when-I-strike-it-rich list. Or to my buying-something-will-cure-what-ails-you list. Either way, they’re making…
The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board is here to help: http://www.cheeseandburger.com/ Great design. Tasty photography. One of the few places where an all Flash-based site is workable.
To continue a steady dose of design and/or typography related content recently, I offer up an interesting series I just came across from the new design blog idsgn called Know Your Type. So far they have done the research of the history and usage of four different typefaces (all sans-serif so far) and presented it…
I don’t hide the fact that Adobe Illustrator and I aren’t necessarily friends. I’ve never been one to have the ability to draw much. And for being a related field, I feel like I should be better at logo design, but it just isn’t my forte. Which is probably why videos like the following capture…
No, I still won’t put Papyrus/Comic Sans on your website; but yes, hopefully someday in the future the opportunity to do so will become easier. http://ilovetypography.com/2009/07/20/web-fonts-%E2%80%94-where-are-we/
If this clock is in production by Christmas, you can add it to my list. Minimal, functional, beautiful. Battery operated, individual pieces, set time by touching each number and auto-adjustment to light to determine white or black numbers. More design like this, please. (via swiss-miss)
I need to find a laser printer somewhere so I can download and print all six parts of this free, open-source toolkit “created to assist those organizations providing services for communities in need.” Created by IDEO and the Gates Foundation among others. At a glance it looks to be a road-map in how to setup…
I am extremely impressed with the new Carsonified.com that Ryan and team just launched in the last week or so. Super clean, without bloat, illustrative without looking cartoon-y, and some fantastic team pages to boot. Not that I’m surprised, their stuff is always spot on. Also, if someone’s looking for a nice Labor Day gift…
