FontFeed


This is a few weeks old, however The FontFeed has just been relaunched. FontFeed "is a daily dispatch of recommended fonts, typography techniques, and inspirational examples of digital type at work in the real world." This resource is maintained by Yves Peters and Erik Spiekermann, as well as others. Enjoy.

P.S. I officially own thecapm.com, so I will be designing a new layout in wordpress soon-ish. I'm super excited. I'll keep you posted. Cheers.

Jason Santa Maria


It's been a few days since my last post, sorry. Super busy gearing up for the Germany trip. I've been meaning to post a blog about Jason Santa Maria's work for a while. I love the simplicity of his layout. Enjoy.

FFFor Real...


Wow! I've been way too busy these days, I starting to neglect my new postings. The thing is, it's only going to get worse until I get back from Germany. I've been meaning to post this site for a while, it's quite an amazing resource. FFF is great way to keep up on new design, and a hell of a way to kill some time. Enjoy!

Our Type, is a fine type.


Alright, today has been intense to say the least. I've managed to change ALL of my websites over to a new web host, as well as change the domains and other house cleaning items. Along the way I manage to delete my portfolio website, arg. Thus I had to re-create all the text content on my site. Alright enough about work, work, work. While I was cleaning out old emails, I stumbled across Our Type, and amazing type studio in Europe. If the typography doesn't amaze you, the Flash based site sure as hell will. I'm glad I came across these guys again. Enjoy.

Compfight- Making Flickr Searching Easy


One of the routine roadblocks in planning a graphic design project is finding a substantial amount of images or graphics on the subject matter. Flickr has created a huge resource bank for images and ideas. However, navigating through all the posts can be difficult. Compfight does a good job of sorting results into an array of images, for you to review. It cuts through all the layers of links, and makes research a little more bearable, giving you more time to plan and design. I'm glad I stumbled upon it. Enjoy.

Good. Clean. Lit. Series


I'm starting a blog series title "Good. Clean. Lit." I hope to present some inspirational design literature, that can be downloaded as PDF. I've begun creating a personal resource folder that contains these files. The first PDF in the series is from AREA 17, a studio based in NYC and Paris. This booklet puts geometric shapes and Avant Garde to good use. PDF file can be downloaded here. Enjoy.
