I don't know why I haven't blogged about this before when I've been on it a few times.

This site stems from workshops given by Underware but is now an on-going project with input by others. More about it here. It's great for Sagmeister-esque out-of-the-box applications and renderings of typography. Als the reference page here is incredible. Visually it's how I imagine the links dump page I always ramble about to look.

Dolce Press

Dolce press is an amazing design company ran by Alexandra Daley. She makes really brilliant print as you can see from all of the pictures. Really nice and deep letterpress 'kiss' in all of her work. No more information needed because it's incredible and you need to go look at it.

Even though her site is currently under renovation I've managed to sneak in through Google. I mainly found her (through A Design Mafia) because of the book made on texting language, which is a vital part of the theory essay I'm currently making.

There's some really great final end-points that are really far out of the box in terms of thinking "what would this best be demonstrated in?". Love to have a play around with outputs/ideas/concepts as big as these where it really seems like practically of an idea is not an issue.

Pretty brilliant design hub with posts-a-plenty of exceptional design. Simple clean Helvetica layout works well to promote the content within.

Dark Was The Night

Apart from being possibly the best compilation about, it's for charity AND is amazingly well designed. THIS is the style I want to work with. I can't wait to get my order, just currently debating whether to splash out on vinyl or get the CD. Or both. Hmmn.

Can't find any information on the design team but will rummage around.

Creative Xpert host a series of interviews. I listened to the Jason Santa Maria one which was actually quite enjoyable and a lot better than this bizarrely unjustified bad prejudgement of internet interviews that I have. Has this stemmed from the project on typeradio? I've been meaning to venture back so maybe now it's time to.
