I found this little site on the history of graphic design. Pretty good read. It’s unfortunate that the design of the site isn’t all that great.

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.

James Windsor is a british designer who has a solid portfolio but it’s his work for artist Chong Bin Park that really caught my eye. The project consists of an invite and catalogue for an exhibit at the Corn Exhange Gallery in Edinburgh. James uses a simple and minimal style along with bible paper to created a piece that is elegant and visually stunning. The International Style in it’s purest form.
