I’m loving the work that Dowling Duncan did for Studio Whitehorn. Clean, beautiful, no BS.

HTML & CSS
Most books on code are visually boring, but HTML & CSS designed by Jon Duckett makes the reading experience much more interesting and fun. I haven’t read the book, but I’d guess that the good design will help with the learning experience.
The Wonder Year
Studio Beige and Joey Vermijs have collaborated on a diary/notebook which contains quotes, tasks and general food for thought to help envision the ‘future of humankind’. There’s also a nice little tote bag.

Design Assembly 3
To celebrate its third birthday, Design Assembly has retired the site and produced three lovely books archiving the past 3 years of published articles, comments, as well as showcasing new and exclusive words and images from some great contributors.
And it’s all done for a great cause: fighting cancer. 100% of profits from the sale of the book will be distributed globally between three cancer charities: Cancer Research UK, LIVESTRONG and WCRF International.
Great design. Great content. Great cause.

Typographic Revolt
The folks at HypeForType approached graphic designer Ryan Atkinson to produce their first magazine, Typographic Revolt. The mag acts as a showcase for their typeface collection and is A2 sized with a twist. Instead of following the traditional convention, Ryan designed a quick read through A2 magazine which also doubles up as a set of 4 Exclusive Faces posters. Each page folds out to create a double sided poster perfect for your studio or home wall space. Typographic Revolt is printed as a limited litho run on 90gsm wood free paper, giving everything a premium newspaper feel which absorbs the inks to create a beautiful desaturated look and feel.
Typographic Revolt is available now through Amazon.
