Super Fantastic Porfolio Site

This is my new favorite Flash portfolio site. Maybe it is a bit flashy but it works so well and maybe I am a sucker for some cheap flash tricks… so what? I love the minimal approch and the color palete but the thing that sets the site apart is the way the navigation becomes a trail of where you came from and that you can activate a menu that is behind the most forward most screen. My love of Dalek’s website is only compounded by my love of his work. Check it out!

Your Condo Is Ugly

I love this sticker that I walk by every morning on the way to the train. Ohh the perils of Williamsburg gentrification.

Very Cool Wedding Invitation

After returning from my cousin’s wedding this past weekend and while I am currently designing an invitation for my friends’ wedding, I thought this post would be appropriate. I love non-traditional invites. I especially love this typographic approach to tell this couple’s dating saga. Check it out full size here. The construction of the RSVP post card is also very clever. Ohh I love to see what designers decide to do for THEIR weddings.

Letter Cult

LetterCult just posted their picks for Best of 2009 So Far. It is a great collection of custom typograhy. Better yet, my friend Nick has 2 peices featured in it.

The Regulars

In this week’s NY Mag Approval Matrix I spotted Sarah Stolfa’s book entitled The Regulars — a collection of portraits of Philadelphia barflies. Of course I was intrigued. As it turns out these portraits were all taken at a bar called McGlinchey’s which was a favorite watering hole of mine my sophmore year of college. Ohh memories. I think these are great, but maybe you need to know the place to really appreciate them.

Photo-Lettering for a New Generation

The Photo-Lettering library is a collection of film-based display type that was widely used from 1936 until the rise of desktop publishing. In 2003, House Industries purchased Photo-Lettering’s entire assets. House is digitizing the collection and is about to launch PhotoLettering.com — a web service that will allow designers to access the same hand-designed type used in the days before Illustrator and Photoshop but with a lot of new customizing features built into the web interface.

Ummm, this is going to be awesome! Get the full story here.

Mangano Mini

Check out my parent’s new Mini. My mom has wanted a convertable her whole life and she finally has one! Fuel efficient and cool as shit. Yippee, I can’t wait to take it out for a spin!
