A Slightly…different business card

Slinky Type!!!

Slinkys – everyone loved this toy as a kid. (I know I did) Well – now you can have your very own typeface based on the popular toy!

Take a peek into designer’s bags!

Do ever wonder what other designers carry around with them on a daily basis? Check out this post to see all the nerdy and not so nerdy stuff designers carry around with them on a daily basis. Lots of macs and moleskine notebooks!

Alpha Text

An interesting typeface based on the way we abbreviate words when sending text or sms messages

Minimal Medical Packaging

Love this minimal medical packaging by Melissa Notaro. I think she’s using the lovely HF&J typeface archer. Its nice to see medical design that isn’t ugly!

FPO For Print Only

Check out the newest blog launch of Under Consideration: FPO For Print only. This blog…is all about print! But not just any print work – they aim to blog about high-end detailed print work. They get into the nitty gritty details of how the work was made. Really interesting!

Beautiful Wireframes

Film The Blanks

An ongoing experiment to abstract and/or reduce film posters. Some famous, some not so famous but all cool in their own way.
