This Exercising Together album cover from 1982 has to be the most fabulous thing I have seen in weeks. I love how they are shamelessly trying to cash in on the E.T. movie’s hype. I found this while browsing through Flickr user IAAFOTS’s collection of vintage and retro imagery. Thanks to Mid-Century Modernist for pointing [...]
I just heard about Obama unveiling the new logos for the ARRA and TIGER programs. Not only are they awesome, but they were done by some awesome people, namely Chris Glass (who has a knack for finding great things on the internet) and Aaron Draplin (who amused me greatly in this rant about bad design [...]
I just discovered Ellen McFadden‘s huge collection of historical graphic design images on Flickr. Not only is there a lot to look at, but most of them are available in high resolution. Also, she adds very interesting and enlightening commentary on each of them that is worth reading as you browse. The two above images [...]
Photographer Simon Hoegsberg created a fantastic 100 meter long photo entitled We’re All Gonna Die – 100 meters of existence. It was pieced together from photos taken in the same spot over the course of 20 days. There’s some really interesting people in the photo, and I really love the way it’s presented on the [...]
Make sure you watch this video until the end, there’s a stunning bit of typographic motion that just wowed me.

I’m not sure exactly what Official Classic is, but I do know that it is a bundle of awesome design work. I love the classic feel of the work, it just makes me a happier person when I see it. I enjoyed all the work there, but I thought the font designs were displayed in [...]
I love this packaging for the Childhood issue of A5 Magazine (warning: annoying browser resize). I’ve just heard of the magazine itself and it looks really interesting. They announce a theme and then anyone can submit works of art and design based on the theme. You can then buy the magazine, which features the curated [...]
Jane McDevitt of Maraid Design just uploaded a set of old British wresting posters. I love studying old wresting and boxing posters because of how, um… enthusiastic the designers were about typography. Most turn out to be lovably ugly, but occasionally it works in an odd way, like in the example above. Either way, it’s [...]
I love the coffee antlers and the heart shaped newspaper clippings in this collage by Mary Virginia Carmack. Via Steven O. Sloan
