I enjoyed clicking through this nice collection of vintage business cards shared by designer Becca Eley (who also happens to have some nice work in her portfolio that is worth checking out). I especially loved the type in the upper image that I posted, which turns out to be a typeface called Treasury. Via design [...]
Francis Qureshi is a photography and graphic design student. I love the mood created by the color in his photos, especially the signs series. So far he only has one example of his design work, but it’s incredible. If this is the early work of a student, I can’t wait to see what he comes [...]
I’m trying something new where every Sunday I will hopefully post a smattering of things that I recently liked, but didn’t want to dedicate an entire post to. Click on the image to go to it’s source.
I really love the colors and type in this old cookbook page scanned in by Pete Ryan.
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
