Interesting and short interview with the maintainer of frutigeraeroarchive.org.

A quote:

Does it feel more alive for me personally? I can say yes to that, as it comes from an era where we were all more optimistic about technology and what it would do in our lives. I would say our outlook in recent years has changed drastically, with companies becoming more and more greedy, more of our data being harvested, and the rise of AI. I have nothing against flat design itself however I have to admit it is more lazily done most of the time than even a basic skeuomorphic interface, and requires basically no effort to pull off correctly.

I know listicles can often be cringy junk, but I thought this one actually did a good job of providing lots of different examples and breaking down the components of each trend they identified. Felt decently in-depth for a round-up; worth browsing for inspiration.

I’d like to follow more people sharing stuff and talking about graphic design and typography, if you know accounts on Pixelfed, Mastodon, Misskey, Lemmy or anything else it would be much appreciated

Please Support!

I ran across a table of settings for Photoshop's channel mixer for simulating various analog film stocks. However, the RGB color values are given as numbers in the 0-255 range, and channel mixer uses percentages. Any idea how to convert the RGB values to plug them into channel mixer?

I’ve taken every plate in the USA — one from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, the five US overseas territories, and special plates used by the Federal Government, and sorted them according to my preferences, ranking on originality of design, technical execution, and quality of the concept. I’ve also awarded bonus points for some which I think are particularly fun.

This month I launched my first typeface, hopefully the first of many. It’s called Peasy, and it’s a low-contrast humanist sans type family that works well for setting long-form text. Peasy was my thesis project from my type program, and to be honest, the name came first.

The project started with a few original inspirations — one was making something “easy” — clean, easy-going, a font I would want to use myself. Another was the idea of modular, multi-color type. Here I explored ideas for stencil and multiple stroke inline styles.

Hello, I was wondering if the color palette/style used in this poster has a name?

"IATP Hype Video" (their own words) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvj6aS3UPPE

Toronto Pearson Airport is Canada’s biggest and most heavily used airport accounting for 60% of the country’s international arrivals. A pillar of Pearson’s strategy coming out of the pandemic is employee acquisition and retention. “I AM TORONTO PEARSON” (IATP) is a brand developed by Pearson in 2016 to serve the community of over 50,000 employees and required a refresh to facilitate their new plans in growing and celebrating that community.

We took inspiration from athletic brand advertising and promotions in professional sports to evoke a sense of heroism, camaraderie, and energy into the IATP look and feel. Through its photographic style and taglines, IATP celebrates its community and the jobs that they do. We created a custom typeface based on Pearson’s departure gate signage — a subtle reference to the traveler being the end focus of IATP.

This is an article (a disguised ad?) from Abduzeedo with pictures showcasing this mockup bundle, but the actual website where you can check it out is this one, I'm mostly sharing because they look high quality for a reasonable price : https://showcasebh.com/

The Brown Branding Mockup Series is an array of elegantly crafted mockups that showcase various objects including paper bags, boxes, envelopes, letterhead, and business cards. These items are integral to building and representing a brand's identity, and what better way to present them than with highly realistic and customizable mockups?

• Versatility: The series caters to a broad spectrum of design needs, be it branding for a start-up or rebranding for an established organization. The different objects provided allow for a complete and cohesive presentation.
• Quality: Created by Showcase Mockups, the team behind renowned design resources, the quality is impeccable. Every detail, texture, and shadow has been meticulously crafted to produce a lifelike replica of the real thing.
