Catching up

This week I’ve been dipping my toes back into Twitter after more encouragement from Chris Barnett. If you’re interested as well, check out this excellent overview in the  New York Times by Paul Boutin. I’m using TweetDeck from my laptop and Twitterific from my iPhone. It’s a great way to surf the web from an iPhone and keep up to speed on what interests you. Kind of like a personally tailored, mini mobile RSS feed.

I discovered two new design blogs worth subscribing to: Ace Jet 170 Found Type, Print and Stuff. Note the really tightly controlled use of a grid and photos. It’s a TypePad blog (another blog product like  WordPress and Blogger). Does anyone have any experience with TypePad?

The other one is from England: CreativeReview. LOTS of great content. Well worth subscribing to this one.

Missbehave Magazine features NubbyTwiglet . Note the “awesome community college” reference in her interview

And, check out the first year students’ Mt. Hood Jazz Festival logos. (still in development). Comments welcome!

Include a case study…

The internets is SO COOL!  This recent post on Ideabook features a detailed, step-by-step accounting of Chuck Green’s  logo design and refinement process for a helicopter company.

Wouldn’t it be great to include a case study (like this) of your research/refinements for a logo project in your blog?

(yes I spelled “internets” like that on purpose as an ode to GW)
