Noisy Decent Graphics

Nice Rapha tribute after Froome won Tour de France

They just made the background yellow.

 

My new bookshelves

Design shelves for those with the Design Disease. Painted inside and then supported by books arranged by colour.

Unlike my bathroom these aren't based on any shoes, although the shelves at Moo were an influence. Works well if you remove the bloody book jackets. 

So gorgeous I just sit there looking at them. 

I'm extremely gratefuly to Russell Thorn who did the hard work and made my idea real.

What's this about? Why the black and white? Why A and B?

 

FT Magazine Graphics Special Issue

The FT ran a 'Graphics Special' in their magazine on Saturday. 

Don't worry if you missed it, you didn't miss much. I almost didn't blog about it except it feels like the sort of thing one should blog about. It wasn't bad, it was just a bit meh, as the internet might say.

It included good people, Toca Boca, Stamen, Tom Hingston, Barber Osgerby and so on. But it wasn't very detailed. I think one of the problems was that they called it a 'Graphics Special' when it was really a design special. Barber Osgerby, Yves Behar and Toca Boca aren't really graphics. But maybe they didn't call it design as they have an Arts and Design section which is mostly diamond chandeliers you can buy for your stables. I don't know.

Anyway. It was OK. You can read it here, you may need a subscribtion of some sort.

"It just looks like the people responsible for marketing the film don't know which actor is which"

I've said it before but Dave Gorman says it better.

Thank to Matt for the link.
