I just found out about the Flickr group called, Typography Friday which encourages designers to create a typographic design for fun every friday.

I found this great photo on Flickr of a vintage “Whittemore’s Cleanall” package. I just love the typography and the little flourishes. The colors are breathtakingly beautiful as well.
This calendar booklet contains a lovely flip book animation of a tree losing its leaves. It’s a nice and simple vector illustration and the type work on the cover is beautiful as well. It was designed by Tomato Kosir, who has a lot more fantastic design work in his portfolio.
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.

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.
Design student Steven Sloan made this little type rendering of the word “coffee” from, well…, coffee. It’s pretty simple, but elegant and eye pleasing. I found it on his nice little blog.
The Columbus Society of Communicating Arts recently held a fun looking Pinewood Derby contest. I especially love the “Typemobile” pictured above. As a former 3 time champion in my Cub Scout years, it combines the fun I had making Pinewood Derby cars as a youth, with my current design obsession as an adult. [...]
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.
