A bit of type inspiration courtesy of Design Me Too

A nice and varied set of typographic treatments pulled together on the Design Me Too blog (@designmetoo on twitter)

Type-tache-tic!

Reminds me a little of the Type Tarts project from the UKType site (our entry was Bellevue du jour, by the way!). You can buy the posters at Old Tom Foolery should you wish. I certainly do.

Typography on the Beeb

Nice that the value of typography is being discussed on the BBC site – regardless of whether you agree with Tom’s take. For one thing, I would say typography was not the biggest problem I had with the movie Avatar.

iPhone/iPad Grid App

Effektive Design are offering these cleverly crafted Grid Apps free of charge over on their website.

Every designer loves a good grid! This app acts as a wireframe structure to keep your applications in neat and tidy order on your iPhone or iPad. You can simply press hold and drag and drop your icons into the specific grid spots. A neat idea, and all for free!

World Cup punk?

On the eve of the World Cup final we couldn’t not have a football related post could we? Football Punk has passed me by a bit, and this is issue 8. I was aware of Golf Punk though, which blazed onto the scene a few years ago and rightfully shook up the elitist world of golf, mainly through their innovative fashion pages. Football Punk though? It doesn’t really need punking does it? Seems Golf Punk was bought out last year, and Football Punk was deemed a good idea by the new owners.

Anyway, this issue came with a couple of other mags – a retro World Cup special and a World Cup betting guide – oh and a poster of Wayne Rooney (to throw darts at). Nuff said.
