Travel Ephemera

While rummaging through FFFFound.com I found this great online gallery (the site design is hard on the eyes) of graphic design examples from the 1920s and 1930s. You can definitely see how this early work inspired designers like Brockmann and Crouwel.

On a shameless side note, if anyone has an extra FFFFound invite I would be more than happy to take it off your hands.

I Love Typography Wallpaper

Here’s an early holiday present for all readers out there. I initially made this for the superb type blog, I Love Typography, but I ended up making a different one for them. I still love how this came out so I wanted to share it with everyone. It’s sort of a homage to typography, with meanings of some familiar type terms at the bottom, and I initially used the grid as a design tool but then decided to make it part of the design itself. It’s only available in 1920×1200 because if I resize it, the grid gets funky. Head over to the Wallpaper section to download this dope ass wallpaper.

Hope you guys enjoy it. Happy holidays.
