Truly Momentus
This is some very nice work, and dare I say momentus work from a select group of select group of designers, illustrators, and artists who have created visual interpretations of what they have determineD to be the most defining moments in United States history as a way of informing others of USA’s proud, yet sometimes...
Want: Bella Vita
I was listening to some dubstep today and scouring the whole of the Interwebs today and come upon my new “want”. Enter Bella, from British designer Rick Banks from Face37. I am not sure I would ever have a paid client that would need this typeface, but I would love to fit this into a...

Google Docs Animation
So I found this video on the AIGA Design ENVY blog today. When I first saw the post, I was a little skeptic that this would be any good. I have to say that 35 seconds later I was blown away and I am still at a loss to accurately describe how cool it is...

Good Eats

The MyPyramid is the failed abomination of convoluted design and healthy living that is far too difficult (read an excellent story written by Michael Beirut here )to understand and even more painful to look at blech! Gone are the days of...
Open Design: Don’t be afraid

The article talks about the proliferation of design tools that allow the average person to produce anything from a custom shoe to a 3-d plastic toy and everything in between. Open Design empowers individuals as “part of a...

The Associate Parliamentary Design and Innovation Group (APDIG) in association with DBA have just released Design and the Public Good: Creativity vs. The Procurement Process. Among other things the report touches on the UK governments inability to select and properly compensate creative professionals who have the ability and skill-set to design services and products that...
