New type design practice and foundry from Erik Marinovich. Just cruise around the specimens pages to get a solid dose of vibrant type goodness.

Whoa. This is densely awesome. A personal website that operates somewhat like an OS. Thoroughly engaging and inspiring.

This is awesome. An app that instantly connects a blind person with a sighted volunteer who can tell them what’s in front of them via screen sharing.

Whenever you meet someone new, ask them what they're most excited about right now. Everyone interesting is excited about something right now, and they'd probably love to tell you about it. (And many more!)

Apple tips their hat to Steve Jobs 10 years after his passing. A moving short video.

There's some heaviness in this conversation with puppeteer and director Frank Oz, but I wish it was three times longer. And Stepford Wives wasn't that bad of a movie.

I've heard this audio a handful of times and seen it visualized perhaps more than once. But it never fails to remind me of the work. / via @misterbisson

I can't wait til Erik gets his second vaccine and the fluorescent ombre beard he has dreamed about for years. But for now? I'm excited right alongside.

A lovely animation indeed. "Don't live in the grand scheme of things"

So simple, so good.

Greg Storey posted a link to this site for design agency site and though I can't read it, I love how different it is.

Admiration for a very nice logo with some good tangential links.

VITTI brought on Mike Freedom to bring this character to life for their brand. This is a great story of how that came to be and their process. (Built on exposure.co - which is a great tool for sharing stories)

is an unkempt garden. Saw this posted on Fonts in Use and thought I'd share it with my friend DJ and also here. Been thinking about print a bit more of late.

A bit zeitgeist of modern design, but I still like looking at this identity very much

Lovely art direction across the board

This event has passed, but I stumbled upon the site and fell in love with their take on gradients (and lovely type to boot). Who says you can't make Squarespace look neat!

There are indeed some nice design elements on this site and the store is stocked well / via @Brilliantcrank

Akihiko Seki's graphics are sublime

Found via UnderConsideration, but these Vietnamese, Filipino and Thai spice starters look awesome. A bit pricey, but SUPER pretty.

That's one glorious timeline design (and animation)

...walk with the wind, brothers and sisters, and let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide.

I really enjoyed the brand reintroduction video at the end.

I saw the documentary on Mr. Rogers, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, and realized there is a difference between a job and a purpose. Building VSCO into a successful company is my job, but it’s not my purpose. Like Mr. Rogers, now I believe my purpose is to love people, or as another way to say it, to help others win.

This Festival Identity Design has very good vibes

Another interview.

Pouring over Vaughan Oliver’s 4AD album art in my formative years opened my mind to new music and possibility. His work made me realize I wanted to be a designer. He was a visual poet. His passing is a tremendous loss.

Imagine a portfolio that is a fun video game-like experience.
