Keith sent in his portfolio which he just recently updated. Pretty good for someone in his 3rd year college.

Klaipeda Regular
Gorgeous typeface in the works by Griskevicius Jurgis that will eventually be available for free. Also, check out the rest of his portfolio. He’s done some great work.
Adrian Newell
Adrian sent in a link to his portfolio and I must say I’m impressed. He’s a recent graduate of University of Salford and he’s already producing high quality work. I never remember kids being this good when I was in school.
Toko
I think I found my new favorite design studio. Toko is based out of Sydney, Australia and their portfolio is absolutely amazing.
Stamps
An excellent collection of well designed stamps, mainly Dutch. Here’s also a great set done by Wim Crouwel. It’s amazing how these designers were able to cramp such wonderful designs and compositions in such a small canvas.
I don’t know about the rest of the world but here in the US are stamps are ugly and cheesy. Would love to hear from people outside the US, especially in Europe, about the design quality of their current stamps.
AisleOne BookShelf 1st Edition
I’m obsessed with design books, to the point where I’ll buy a book just because it has a well designed cover. What’s interesting (or weird) about my obsession is that I really don’t read much of what’s written in these books, I skim through. If it’s a book that’s strictly text, for example a book about type formating and structure, I’ll read it word for word. But if the book mostly contains great visuals, I’ll concentrate on that for inspiration. I’m definitely more of a visual person.
Anyway, I’m slowing building a nice collection and so I’m going to post the books on here for all to enjoy. In this edition of AisleOne Bookshelf we have a book, a magazine and an exhibit catalogue: Wim Crouwel Alphabets, Grafik Magazine Issue 150 and Wim Crouwel: Typographic Architectures.
Wim Crouwel Alphabets
A book by Kees Broos in which Wim Crouwel explains in detail the reasoning and working methods behind his typefaces. The text is accompanied by many of Crouwel’s illustrations and designs.
Grafik Magzine: Issue 150
This limited edition copy contains a cover hand printed by K2 Screen in London. Since it’s hand printed, each issue is unique.
Wim Crouwel: Typographic Architectures
Published for ‘Wim Crouwel: Architectures Typographiques, 1956-1976’, an exhibition that took place in Paris featuring texts by Wim Crouwel, Catherine de Smet and Emmanuel Bérard and various work by Wim Crouwel. The publication also includes his catalogue work for the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. The catalogue was designed by Experimental Jetset.
