Ligne is a beautiful concept in creating type through movement as a tribute to learning in non-traditional ways. You can download the font. The simplicity in the idea and execution is a beautiful example of how technology gives us a stronger voice to tell our stories. Cheers.

Jason Santa Maria is an amazing force within the web design world. His role in improving typography and understanding the relationship of editorial design to the website is unmatched. I can extremely appreciate what he is doing in a number of respects. Not to mention, I’m very jealous of getting to share officespace with Swiss Miss.

An absolutely wonderful, simple article on the beauty of handwriting from Mowhawk’s new blog, Felt & Wire
AIGA Upstate New York’s got a new site design…and it seems to have a hint of MyDarndest behind it.
The quasi-new President of AIGA Upstate New York, Bill Klingensmith aka MyDarndest, has been making some impressive efforts in order to make the AIGA an outstanding resource for members in upstate. Through organizing events such as Creative Eats, where fellow creatives can hang out and chat about what’s going on and the Poster Exhibition at Abilene. He’s also been developing and writing for the blog on the AIGA Upstate site to serve as a resource for both students and professionals. So, I’ve got to give props to good ole BK for putting in some solid effort into making AIGA an even greater resource for creatives in Upstate NY.
http://jkaczmarek.com/ this guy has the best interface for a portfolio I have ever seen. From accessibility of the navigation to the atmosphere created by the white bleeding background and motion to feel like your actually flipping through his work. What a great way to display your work. This is a canon of what a design portfolio should perform like. Well done without feeling over-designed. However, I’m not sure how well it fits on a 1024×768 resolution screen.
