500 Grids and Style Sheets
November 30th, 2007Interesting book available on You Work For Them explaining grid systems and how they are used. A CD is also included that contains 500 grid templates that can be customized.
Good graphic design relies on a simple, fundamental concept: the grid. With the invisible, unifying structure they provide, grids bring consistency and visual harmony to multi-page or multi-screen documents. The Designer’s Toolkit is the first book to streamline the use of this critical tool, providing a fast-track way for both experienced and amateur designers to identify and employ the best grid for the job. A CD embedded in the book’s cover includes 500 ready-to-use grid templates formatted for the most commonly used design programs. The templates can be used as-is or be easily customized to create professional-quality work. This unique book-plus-CD package provides the foundation for anyone to create effective, original, and sophisticated design.
Dimensions: 8.25″ x 9.25″ (inches)

Sorapot — A Simple, Modern Teapot
November 28th, 2007I don’t post much about industrial design, I will try to more often in the future, but I just had to post about the Sorapot by NY designer Joey Roth. It’s the sexiest damn teapot I’ve ever seen. This is not a typical pot where you fill it with water and throw it on the a flame. The way this works is you open it up, put in tea leaves and just add hot water. For $179 you can add this beauty to your home some time in February 08. I’m sold.

I’d Like My Annual Report Well Done Please!
November 28th, 2007My pal Leah Faust sent me this article today. Croatian agency Bruketa & Zinić has created an annual report for a large european food company that needs to be bake in an oven before it can be read. “Well Done” contains blank pages printed with thermo-reactive ink that reveal text and images after being in the oven for 25 min. I’m blown away by the brilliance of it.

Urban Signage
November 27th, 2007I snapped a pic today with my iPhone of this beautifully designed sign for an public park. Definitely has a modernistic look to it which I love and I wish I knew who did it. I’m going to look around to see if I find more. Can you name that typeface?
