This is great. Program Your 808 is a series of posters by Rob Ricketts that show popular drum sequences that were programmed using the Roland TR-808 Drum Machine. The posters are beautiful and they also allow you to re-programme each sequence for your own pleasure.
You can grab a copy of the posters here.

Here’s a great Tumblr called Geometry Daily by a designer named Tilman where he posts geometric composition. A lot of beautiful stuff.
