Silk

This Silk site completely sucked me in... there's something so satisfying it. Go. Make! Now!

Design vs. Develop

Being a print designer I probably shouldn't poke too much fun at either (as they rock skills I don't have), but this was too good not to share.

movie credit obsession fuel

Fun fact about me: I am obsessed with movie credits. Always have been, probably always will be.

This weekend I finally hunkered down and watched Sherlock Holmes, after months of friends saying "You'll love the credits!" Whaddaya know, I loved the credits. This of course provoked me to find out a little more about the making of the credits and I found a fantastic website Art of the Title.

Go to it now, seriously, super interesting.

Good F'n Design Advice

I admit, I probably use the fbomb more than is necessary and in general swear like a sailor for no particularly good reason. Which makes the Good Fucking Design Advice site quite enjoyable for me! Sometimes the truth hurts and in this case the truth would be censored on broadcast television. You should check it out, but in the meantime a few of my favs:

Fix your fucking letterspacing.

Fucking simplify.

Educate your fucking client.

Use a fucking grid.

Take a fucking chance.

Drink more fucking coffee.

Don't fucking quit.

and the big one:

Love your fucking job.

So true...
