Vintage Citroen Brochures
February 28th, 2008I found this amazing archive of old Citroen brochures from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s with beautiful cover designs. The 70’s are definitely the best with the 50’s and 60’s containing some gems as well but the 80’s are mostly terrible. I love how these designs are timeless and look as if they were created today.

Experimenta
February 27th, 2008Experimenta is a design studio based in Wellington, New Zealand with an exceptional portfolio. They are inspired by minimalism and modernism, and have a great Critique section on their site where they analyze typefaces and design theories. Any site with a diagram of a golden section page gets my respect.

A-Side Studio
February 23rd, 2008An excellent collection of print work by UK based A-Side Studio.
One of the reasons why I love doing print more than interactive work is because when it’s all done, you have something to actually hold in your hands. Ultimate satisfaction.

Year Of The Sheep
February 22nd, 2008A few weeks ago I finished refreshing my personal site, Year of the Sheep. I’m getting a little tired with Flash, especially when it comes to updating, so this time around I used Indexhibit. Indexhibit is a web application used to build and maintain an archetypal, invisible website format that combines text, image, movie and sound. I personally love it. It’s easy as hell to use and update and the CSS is very flexible. Oh and it’s free. Definitely check it out.
And for those wondering, I picked the name cause I was born in 1979, the year of the sheep in the Chinese zodiac.
