Back to the Futura - Cinematypography

June 2, 2008 – 6:20 pm

The fantastic design blog September Industry has created, with the help of other contributers, a list of movie titles that have font names worked into them. Maybe it’s because I’m a super nerd, but it’s the funniest thing I have seen on the internet in a long time. Some of my favorites are […]

Letterpress guinea pig on scooter by Moontree

May 26, 2008 – 10:28 pm

Moontree Letterpress has a great blog about the designs that they make. I love this card design of a guinea pig on a scooter. It’s fun to see silly designs printed in such an elegant way. It’s for sale on Etsy. Be sure to check out their more “serious” work on […]

Retarded Children Benefit Show

May 3, 2008 – 11:02 pm

I saw this photo of a roll of tickets for a “Retarded Children Benefit Show” and I had to post it. Apparently is was taken through the window of an abandoned movie theater. It almost looks like a photoshop, but I forget that “retarded” used to be politically correct back in the day.

This vintage mime alphabet book looks awesome, I wish the whole thing was scanned in. It comes from an pretty sweet flickr set of vintage children’s books.

Emma Smart has a nice portfolio of crafts and design that she does. I thought the scrabble tile toss pillows were pretty neat.

Rather Difficult Font Game

April 13, 2008 – 11:49 pm

I had fun playing this font identification game. I got 27 out of 34, and I only got a couple of those points off of guesses. I’m pretty proud of that score, considering I’ve only been a type nut for a few months.

These glasses are really excited to be holding your liquids

April 12, 2008 – 12:13 pm

Ryoko Yagi makes glass products that are pretty basic, but with one simple addition. A smiley face is etched onto each one. How could you ever be grumpy drinking out of one of those? She sells them on her Etsy shop, Smile Tumbler.

I saw this flickr set of nerdy felt brooches and it made me smile. It’s actually kind of sad how many I recognized.

Bjork - Wanderlust music video

April 4, 2008 – 1:07 am

Although I’m not a huge Bjork fan, I really liked her new music video for “Wanderlust”. It’s a really strange (surprise, surprise) 3-d animation style. It creates a very surreal atmosphere. The video is pretty big, but it’s really good quality.
I couldn’t help making a silly little animated gif of one of […]
