I recently received an email from Abraham Vizcarra, a student in the design program at City College in San Diego. He has posted some of his work online and invites us to take a look. The blog-format for presenting these design projects isn't very user-friendly, but there is good work to be seen. I especially like his photographs of the creative inspiration and process materials for each assignment. Much success to Abraham in his future endeavours! {If you'd like to show off your work, send us a suggestion by using the link at right.}

Here's a link to some installations by London artist Afshin Kruszelnicki. Top image: "Please take a sweet and put a penny in the other jar." Second image: "Krispie" (I think this is a small room full of Rice Krispies!)

Lots of snap, crackle and pop!

Pentagram's Angus Hyland has received an international design award for his beautifully designed exhibition and catalogue celebrating the art of the ballpoint pen. Hyland is also the editor of one of the best books on identity design that I've ever read: C/ID. The book offers in-depth study of successful identities for cultural institutions with stunning images and truly brilliant design solutions. {available in our shop}

I've been collecting interior shots of letterforms used as decor, so I thought I'd start sharing these links for today's Type Tuesday installments. { Click on the pictures to go to the corresponding websites. }

Old School participant Jen Altman is featured over at Design*Sponge today... take a peek into her wonderful home. And then go over to Jen's blog and order For the Love of Light while there are still copies available — she has sold 400 pre-ordered copies! I look forward to receiving my copy. If you're in the pre-ordering spirit, we'd really appreciate your support of Old School which can be pre-ordered here.
