Design Jones

The disciplined grid-based design of the Inventory site HERE really caught my eye. Great to see some lovely type like this online, all too rare! Obviously this site takes strong visual cues from the print version but the application works really well. You can see some of Stuart Hobday’s other work HERE on The Behance Network.

I’ve metioned Graphic Exchange on this blog many times. I’m constantly blown away by the quality of work they feature along with other examples of excellent design work, interiors and branding. A few of recent gems include a link through to a set of great 90’s magazine covers (HERE) including RAYGUN, Grafik and Blah.

Some beautiful envelope calligraphy by eithersnow HERE, why oh why did I not practice my handwriting growing up?

And finally a great branding showcase for coalesse, created by Toleson HERE.

I found this really useful list of great design magazines via a tweet from SwissMiss this morning. There are a few here I’ve not heard of and a couple more that I can only find every so often as they are US imports but it’s a really good list and well worth checking out HERE. I’ve had to clear my shelves in the studio to make room for all the books and magazines I’ve recently added to the library so it looks like perfect timing!
