One of the best parts of going to a book store is looking at the covers. A book cover needs to be simple, intelligent and needs to give the viewer an idea of what's inside. Once the book is opened the typeface, spacing and use of imagery all need to contribute and add to the...

Over the past month and half I've received some great submissions to the site. One these is Elaine Fong. I'm so glad she sent me a link to her work. Elaine is a graphic designer and art maker who absolutely loves color and isn't afraid to play. A lot of her work is autobiographical, which...

I wish I could remember were I found this so I could give the site credit but I can't. The RGB exhibition is just amazing. Aside from the concept, which is great, what really brings the work to an the amazing level is the scale. Who wouldn't want to see giant amazing creatures drawn realistically...

Spring time is almost here. I posted about Kim Rosen's Surf board a few posts back and thought why not follow it up by dropping by, designer, Emil Kozak's site. He has a lot of new work since my last visit. I especially like the blue cube pattern and the black and white bird shapes....

I recently came across the work of Kelli Anderson, an amazing experimenter/designer/photographer with an intelectual sense of humor that had me taking double taking as I poured through her work. Kelli studied art history, which makes perfect sense after viewing her portfolio. She is also interested in grids and the organization of information.

ORDINARY.co is the portfolio of Public School member Matthew Genitempo. I've been thinking a lot about 1 color printing and ORDINARY.co has some great examples. It just goes to show you don't necessarily need color to make a great piece of artwork. Aside from the great design work I like the layout of Matthew's site....

Leif is an artist based in Melbourne. He's done work for Modular Records, Sony Music, Warner Records and so on. He's also exhibited work in Berlin, The Netherlands and Sydney. Lief manipulates, mirrors and collages images. Nothing new really; but he does it better than anyone else I've seen because of his sense of restraint...

Some of you may have seen this on Facebook already. Meg has some new T's in her Etsy Shop for men. One of the things I respect about my wife's work, aside from being intelligent, simple and well designed, is that she does it all herself. She doesn't send her designs away and have them...

Eulogy is the first magazine devoted to death. Sounds kinda morbid, but it's really not. The magazine explores the lives of people, how they lived and how they died. I like the general layout of the website, and appreciate the brighter colors that thoughtfully counter a visitor's initial reaction to reading the name of magazine....

My friend JF sent this to me, it's a screen shot he took of the new MacBook Air email promo that he received last week. I build a lot of html email at my job, almost two per day, and even with a considerably smaller budget than Apple, I still manage to test every email...

I Don’t Like the New iTunes Logo
Like a lot of people, after downloading the new iTunes 10, I was surprised at the new design. Over all I think the design is a step backwards. It just all feels so… PC/Microsoft. Why copy the design of…

It’s hard to count the times I’ve started to watch a documentary film on a topic that I’m interested in only to become uninterested just over half way through. I’m am becoming quite a fan of Gary Hustwit though. Unlike a lot of documentaries Hustiwt’s films don’t seem long…
Statistician Edward Tufte
My boss let me barrow The Visual Display of Quantitive Information by Edward R. Tufte. I was so amazed by the book I thought I would do a little more research on the author. Edward R. Tufte is a…
