type-design

Working on a funny typeface... Not sure what to call it.

Should I work for free?

Neat flow chart by Jessica Hische. Very handy and humorous and will help you figure out whether or not a project should be done pro-bono or if the client should "make it rain". You can buy it as a 5-color letterpress print on her website. Maybe I'll invest in it to hang in my studio one day?

Infographics Muse

The Cool Infographics Blog has quickly grown to be one of the top sites in the information design industry. Inspiration for web and graphic designers, and for a current graphic problems project dealing with data collected on costs at the 2011 Utah State Fair.












Also, I just discovered a new app (for all you iPhone people), just Infographics: by Column Five Media.

daily drop cap

Daily drop Cap is a project that Jessica Hische started in September of 2009 in which she illustrated a decorative letter every day (or most every day). The project continued through twelve alphabets and are available for non-commercial use as drop caps for personal blogs, etc. See the full project here. And then here are a few of my favorites.

veer

Veer has been specifically designed as an online publication, with fully clickable contents page, and embedded video, audio and visual work, in addition to text. Here are a few new font releases. I always enjoy their type specimen. Check them out here. Merchandise is always fun too. They have nice iPhone covers.
