It’s always a treat to spend a few minutes looking through the great design work posted in the AIGA Design Archives. Divided into twelve categories including book, illustration, environmental graphics, and experience design — there really is a little bit of everything here for you to enjoy and get inspired by.
On a totally unrelated side note, who knew there was an International Council of Graphic Design Associates?
If your looking for premium linkage, the Designer’s Jumpola is the place to go.
Who says there is such a thing as bad publicity? I’m guessing the guy hired to place devices around Boston to market a cartoon show for Turner Broadcasting might after being arrested today.
We all try to create landing pages that entice visitors to act, to give us information, or to buy something from us. It’s hard to engage them with a small budget - but if you’re UPS, the sky’s the limit.

Curious to see the art and designs the folks over at Cartoon Network have been creating? If you find yourself in Atlanta anytime from February 1st to May 19th, stop by MODA (Museum of Design Atlanta) and enjoy the playful work of the talented designers, animators, writers, and artists of one of the only Cartoon Studios with offices east of the Mississippi (did I spell that right?).

Did a quick search for typography blogs and here are the results:
Head over to typographica for a dandy look at up and coming fonts as well as some great links to other typography sites and font houses. Check out what fonts the font shop is pawning at their blog. Or for something completely different, visit the site of “Ari Davidow, Hebrew Typesetter Extraordinaire” - he was lucky number 7 in the search results from google. Enjoy!
Actually it’s the Arts Institute (AI) of Charleston set to open soon downtown. Offering Associates and Bachelors Degrees in Culinary Arts, Graphic Design, and Interactive Media to name a few, this looks like it is going to be a great new resource in the Charleston area.
Cool article on how Apple kept the iPhone release secret over the last two years of development.
Pretty impressive work.
Great idea for the interface on this Illustrator’s site.
