website of the day: dribble
dribble is show & tell for creatives. It's 3:30 am and I've spent way too much time dribbling. Ugh. I suppose that tells you how fun it is to dig through portfolios... www.dribble.com

doyald young
Very sad to learn this morning that logotype designer Doyald Young has passed. He was 84. An advocate for craftsmanship and precision in typography, his work is beyond brilliant.
lynda.com has a couple of Doyald videos you must check out.

john bramblitt
John lost his sight in 2011 and as a creative outlet decided to learn how to paint. Incredibly, he uses his other senses to draw & mix color - he knows what colors are by simply feeling their texture. He's never seen his wife or son but has painted a perfect portrait of them, as well as other known figures he's had a chance to meet and well, feel their faces so he could paint them. Pretty inspiring.

i like mike
Else Cake often writes people or brands she ♥ - usually to tell them what a good thing they are in the world. (I wrote Old Spice when their hot man campaign came out and they sent me free stuff in the mail. I wrote Nair, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft Foods, Nestle, I write McDonalds often, etc... I also write brands when they do a ghetto job on delivering on the promise because well, God bless America, that's the beauty of free market: you do a crappy job, I'll go to your competitor who will treat me right. Am I ranting already? this early? Sorry.)Bla Bla Bla: last week I wrote Mikey Burton a design love letter of appreciation. He wrote back & was really quite sweet which made me ♥ him even more. How lovely. So here goes a few more posts about Mikey. He's good stuff.

ed mcgowan's tilt-shift photography
These are not miniature models but real scenes, in real locations. Gorgeous.

Less and More: The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams.
The more I read on him, the more I see visual vomit everywhere I look. And that's actually a good thing - I'm trying hard to train myself to peel the layers, dial it down, simplify, say it with the least amount of information. I'm putting this book in my wish list.
