Happy 50th, Museum of Modern Art Oxford

In honor of their upcom­ing 50th anniver­sary, the Mod­ern Art Oxford is dis­play­ing 50 exhi­bi­tion posters from their archive to the pub­lic. Stuff like this makes me really appre­ci­ate the sim­plis­tic design sen­si­bil­i­ties of so many design­ers from the UK. Check …

The Work of Jonas Eriksson

Swedish designer/developer Jonas Eriksson’s work is amaz­ing. I first stum­bled on his work when scour­ing dribb­ble for some UI design inspi­ra­tion. There I found the most amaz­ing almost-iPad app called 76 Syn­the­sizer. This piece, for me, proves his bril­liance without …

IBM Smarter Planet

Being a huge fan of Herb Lubalin and pretty much every­thing that came out of that man’s brain, I love these posters that intel­li­gently incor­po­rate his ITC Lubalin Graph type­face. To me, this type­face speaks to all things techy with …

Feltron 2010 Annual Report

The mas­ter of info­graph­ics has struck again. Nicholas Fel­ton has released his Fel­tron 2010 Annual Report. As usual, the annual report is packed with great typog­ra­phy, flaw­less lay­outs and killer charts, graphs and what-have-yous. This issue stuck out to me …

Finally, the unveil­ing of the new site by the geniuses that call them­selves The Heads of State. The work these guys pro­duce is qual­ity. From illus­tra­tions to posters to iden­tity works, their style remains the same: sim­ple, concept-driven and really, …

New Print from Scott Hansen

Scott Hansen, aka ISO50, just released a new print for pur­chase. As usual, it is quite gor­geous. The style is sim­i­lar to a lot of his recent work with very min­i­mal yet strik­ing graphic work with super sub­dued typog­ra­phy. The …

The Art of Hermann Zapf

This is a truly inspi­ra­tional video for any­one inter­ested in the art of let­ter­ing. I am rethink­ing my wed­ding design ideas already. It might be fun to get out the pens and ink bot­tles again and try to use some …

Typophile Film Festival 5 Opening Titles

I just came across this fan­tas­tic video cre­ated by the design stu­dents and fac­ulty of BYU. The con­cept is a typo­graphic feast about the five sense and was cre­ated with no com­puter gen­er­ated effects. Very enter­tain­ing. View it here
