Taking a look through some old files I stumbled across a great poster I saw last year… Scott Boms & Grant Hutchinson have put together a great little reference for how type is put together. Apologies to Grant Hutchinson if that’s not his URL. Anyway – check out the beautifully put together poster below.

I’ve just stumbled across a fantastic little collection of swapped over brands. Follow the link below to see more of Graham Smith’s work… you’ll be surprised how odd some of the switches look! An ongoing project by Graham Smith shows us what would happen if popular companies decided to swap logos with their [...]

About a year ago I posted a link which was a quick and useful tool to help you pick the best font for any situation – for those of you who forgot, or didn’t see it you can view “So you need a typeface” here. In keeping with my efforts to bring you the best [...]
