I originally started Typography Friday as a weekly mental exercise to help me progress. Creating the pool on Flickr seemed like a good way to allow other people to contribute to the project.The response has been exciting, to say the least. Usually by Tuesday morning, I am concepting ideas to see what I can come up with for the end of the week.
I am excited to see where Typography Friday will go, and it helps push me to be a more conceptual designer.
And the best part? ANYONE can take part in the fun! Just join the group on Flickr and submit! See you next Friday!Let’s go back to Typography Fridayâ„¢ | A weekly project by Eric Shoemaker

Felix Wiedler just informed me about his very interesting blog called Book Design Stories.
This collection is about modernist typographic design in german-language books from 1925 to 1965 (and beyond). why start in 1925? in october 1925 the german printers’ trade magazine “typographische monatsblätter” published a special issue entitled “elementare typographie” (elemental typography), containing manifestos by jan/iwan tschichold, el lissitzky, laszlo moholy-nagy, and others. in the same year tschichold designed his first modernist book for the büchergilde gutenberg (see story 28). these avant-garde typographers created a new “functionalist” style that was influenced by modern architecture and abstract art – especially russian constructivism and dutch de stijl –, and adopted elements of experimental futurist and dada typography. books were no longer to be old-fashioned, leather-bound status symbols for the middle and upper classes, but have a modern, dynamic, machine-age look – which meant: asymmetric layout, no-frills typefaces such as sans-serifs, and “objective” photographs or photomontages.
The index of all the books he talked about is here.
