  • Dribbble first 5k users

    Ah, number 40. Back when I didn't have grey hair, slippers, or a dog.

  • Politics for Designers: East Jerusalem

    Looking forward to attending this. Because, well, politics is part of design, part of life, and part of the workplace. Whether we like it or not, eh, Basecamp?

  • Neville Brody on Navigating Graphic Design’s Shifting Identity

    That’s exactly the right question. Companies tend to increasingly need user experience designers, coders, programmers, and social media marketing experts. It’s not so much about the logo, or the brand, or a poster or leaflet—things in the physical world. People don’t do direct mail anymore, except pizza delivery places. You don’t get magazines, because they’re all online. And they’re not really designed anymore.

  • Projector

    This looks very interesting. Also: refreshing design. The smashing together of two long-held design conventions continues with the 'print' aesthetic and digital product design.

  • Mercure

    Mercure, designed by Charles Mazé, is the result of an inquiry into Latin epigraphy and the typographic forms associated with that discipline. A touch of the experimental mixed with the conventional of digital type specimens. Yes please.

  • Beyond Net Zero: A Systemic Design Approach | Design Council

    The Systemic Design Framework, launched by Design Council in April 2021, has been developed to help designers working on major complex challenges that involve people across different disciplines and sectors.

  • GT Maru

    Well, Grilli Type do it again. A wonderful, thoughtful micro site for the new font GT Maru. Crammed full of engaging illustrations and animations whilst not distracting from key selling points and features of the new font. It's just so good.

  • FS Millbank - A wayfinding typeface from Fontsmith

    FS Millbank is a wayfinding typeface by Fontsmith. The specimen is more like a presentaiton than a traditional format. The user zooms in, out, and through the typeface's various applications, features and design details. Compelling viewing.

  • Logical

    Beautiful, simple, legible sans serif from Bold Monday. It took me just minutes before I bought this typeface such is the power of this specimen. Leading with key stylistic features focussing on optimum legibility and humanistic feel, the large simple illustration help communicate what can often be type design specialist language. Another bonus of the typeface is the icons and the simply wonderful instructional animations. At the end of the specimen – in case you're not sold yet – we get to the nitty gritty features and glyph tables.

  • Type Specimens

    Excellent site of digital type specimens.
