The stlye of this book, called Film Design, is incredible. I love the great use of the grid system and the black and white color scheme. I found it in insect54’s Flickr account which contains a wealth of great images of graphic design books and posters.
Michael Hochleitner designed this beautiful typeface family called Ingeborg (link goes to PDF specimen booklet) as part of his program for a Master of Arts in Typeface Design at the University of Reading. I especially love the swashes in the fat italic font. I can’t seem to see any place to purchase it [...]
Digital artist and graphic designer “greysheepduo” is putting out some interesting and quality design work. The incredible part is that it appears that he’s still in high school! I can’t wait to see what he comes up with in the future. Check out his design collection on Flickr.

Network Osaka has put out some really nice posters based on the swiss modernist aesthetic of grids, Helvetica, and minimalism. Of course, his personal site is under construction, but here’s the link for future reference.

I am amazed at how balanced and uncontrived these designs look, which is a lot harder to achieve in this type of work than you might think. I also [...]
Chris Glass took this beautiful photo of a Wall-E toy holding a real plant. It almost brings to life this character from the amazing movie. It also makes a great desktop wallpaper in the original size. I love the title and caption he gave the photo, “Where I forget about landfills and [...]
