"...There are, however, some designers and even clients who insist that the public deserve and will respond to much higher standards in graphics. They are convinced, as Charlie Chaplin was convinced, that the best way to entertain the public is to first entertain oneself."

Dub FX—beatboxing to the next level

Incredible skills from Dub Fx. Seeing this I couldn’t help thinking about Prodigy and their not-so-great recent albums (haven’t listened the new one—i hope it’s good, but my hopes are not very high :P). Dub Fx shows that you don’t need fancy studios, record labels or tons of equipment to put up a great show. You can listen a few more songs on his MySpace.

(thanks bro’)


Power to the logos

Well, who would’ve imagined that after the last elections, even logos would turn black&proud :))

Power to the peo...tyres!

Actually, it’s just an image promoting Blender Pro, an excellent Crouwel-grid-like typeface from Gestalten. It reminds me a lot of Gridnick, published by The Foundry, another great foundry (talk about naming, heh)—their Form Sans and Serif family is wonderful as well.


No better quote to test type

FF Tisa is a beautifully designed typeface, created by Mitja Miklavčič for magazines. And what better line than Clint’s to show its beauty?
