As a designer using typography, I always wanted to make the art direction of title sequence. It’s a very interesting process that involves a lot of factor to have a creative and entertaining result.
Ian & Alex, over at The Art of the Title Sequence, shows and analyses all those famous movie that we watched. Most of them were famous just because of the title sequence and some of them were designed by giants of the graphic design…
One of the things I love is buying office supplies without knowing what I am gonna do with them. You know… Really basic designed stickers made for random stuff. I always find them very interesting just because they are so simple and basic.
All the stuff on the picture have been found in a Dollar Store for a total of $20. Love it!
Hey folks!
I wanted to let you know about a new site I’ve just launched called The Grid System. It’s basically an ever-growing resource site on the topic of grid systems and anything associated to it, like the golden ratio and baseline grids. My goal for the site is to be a one stop shop for all designers to learn about grid systems, how to design them and how to use them.
The site features links to articles, tools, books as well as templates and other goodies. I’ve also added the ability to show the grid that the site was built on, this way visitors can learn about the structure and how it was applied to the design.
I’ve also partnered up with YouWorkForThem to bring a great collection of books to the site. Over time the site will grow in content (I have a backlog of articles and tools to post) as well as features. I plan to add a forum where people can chat about grid systems and design in general, and other small things like wallpapers. Additionally, I’ve created a Flickr group as an extension of the site.
Thanks!

Helvetireader is a userscript that pares down Google Reader to what I consider to be the essentials. In particular, it’s made for looking at feeds in the expanded view, using Keyboard Shortcuts instead of on-screen buttons. It’s not going to suit how everyone uses Google Reader, so you can take the CSS and personalise to your hearts content!
All you need is a browser that supports userscripts (see below) and, of course, Helvetica.
