Great resource for articles and links to graphic design/information design resources.

Blog is worth checking in on regularly, good case studies - this one on negative space in Logo Design.

One of my favorite sites and resource collections for presentation design.

Good site for design info, and interesting brocure samples.

Nice selection o f more unique brochure designs.

This is a unique site in that it covers such a broad spectrum of topics and fields related to information design. I especially like exploring the linked sites listed under "Linking To Design Crux". Enjoy.

Made me laugh :)

Great selection of commerically produced movie design posters.

Commercial brochure design.

If anyone is thinking about using a photograph as a source image for their logo, I came across this cool (even if slightly out-dated) tutorial on how to create a simplified vector image from a bitmap using live trace in Illustrator.

Commercial service.

The Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland is having an exhibit on collateral design in Portland from 1940-1970 (pre-desktop publishing). They have some cool pictures on their site worth checking out.

Brochure design using strong images to draw the eye.

Seriously?! Re-brand mistake. Agree with some of the commentary regarding design integrity, Microsoft, etc. Boring.

Oh, Mr. Goudy Old Style, must you always tempt me?

Excellent for use with Adobe Creative Suite 2, 3, 4. Kuler is a web-based color tool from Adobe that has thousands of community-generated color themes from which you can search, but the best thing about Kuler is that you can easily make your own themes. Once you register with Kuler (it's very quick), you can begin to create your own color themes or palettes and store, view, and retrieve all your saved themes in your personal Mykuler space. There are two ways to create unique color themes: either by selecting a single color on the color wheel as your base color and building off of that, or by importing an image from Flickr or your hard disk and extracting harmonious combinations from the image.

Great web based tool for workiing with color in info design projects of all types.

The print says it all ;) Entertaining dose of digital reality.

"This type, which is sometimes called 2012 Headline and sometimes 2012 Bold, may be even worse than the London 2012 logo. The logo was the subject of immediate parody (some detected Lisa Simpson having sex; others a swastika)."

You've turned one up that definitely makes one wonder... pretty bad.
