Initiated by Xavier Encinas, this blog focuses on typography and graphic design, with posts on advertising, fashion and Helvetica. One book review looks at how companies like Apple make design a competitive advantage and an integral part of business. Illustrating the tension between print and digital publishing, a post on Process Journal shows how a print publisher redesigned its content to create an iPad app.
This blog publishes promotions, book recommendations and debates you can comment on, like "Arial vs Helvetica: War is Hell." Designs to enjoy include "31,000 Flights Over Holland." Through Observer Media, the site also dabbles in audio and video design. Design Observer originated in 2003 thanks to Michael Bierut, William Drenttel, Jessica Helfand, Rick Poynor and Ruby Studio.

BoomWriter is a supremely engaging creative writing website that has students reading, writing and assessing content in ways they've never done before!
The teacher selects or produces his or her own story start, and the students let their imagination and writing skills take over.
One chapter at a time, the students write, read, and then vote on the submissions they like the most. The winning chapter is then added to the story and the process continues.
The teacher determines the total number of chapters to be completed, and when the competition is over a new book is ready to be published.
