Nice archive of book cover designs
Great site for browsing book covers and the designers that designed them.

Need to find a book cover?
I came across this neat site the other day when needing cover images for my previous book wish list entry. The site allows you to browse and search for book and comic book covers and even save them to an account and create collections, or buy the book on eBay.

Four Techniques for Combining Fonts
I ran across this great little read from H&FJ on effectively combining fonts. As for me, I’m always looking for techniques and processes for achieving and accomplishing design goals. Effective typography is a real art so designing from the hip can be risky and dangerous. I hope you find these techniques as useful as I have.
Cheers!

My New Favorite T-shirt Place
I’ve always been a big t-shirt fan, from my high school days wearing my favorite concert T, to my boat load of graphic T’s from Urban Outfitters. However, there seems to be a drought lately, at least in my opinion, of good sources of graphic T’s.
Well, I ran across the following site and must say they have the coolest t-shirts around.
Go and check out the T’s, or better yet, buy a few, from Design by Humans. You won’t be disappointed.
Oh, and if you have any sources of your own, please don’t hesitate to share!

Regardless I will certainly be buying him the following sets when he’s ready.

Moleskine and good design
So who doesn’t love Moleskine and good design?
Well, here’s the best of both worlds. Here the scoop straight from the horse’s mouth…
“This exclusive two-volume set showcases groundbreaking visual media and design from winners of the 2008 ADC Young Guns competition, plus the finalists of The Undiscovered Letter, a creative challenge envisioning the 27th letter of the alphabet.”
I’m about to purchase my set right now!
