Today I visited Experimenta’s site and noticed that they have some tasty new work up. The project seems to be for a fashion designer called Lela Jacobs which includes an A2 poster and a look book. The work makes use of Helvetica and Courier. Very nice indeed.

They also reviewed the typeface National. What a gorgeous face.

Here’s a sweet poster by Martin Dominguez that charts each instrument in the song Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division.

Man, this song is definitely popular with graphic designers.

Minimalsites.com is an excellent collection of sites featuring a minimal design. Just what the doctor ordered. Ironically, the site design itself isn’t all that impressive.

My personal site has just been added.

You know you’ve found something special when you look at a portfolio and feel like you’ve been punched in the face and kicked in the baby maker. This is how I felt when I saw Matt Keers work yesterday. It’s amazing and he just graduated college. I wish I could hire this kid.
