Nice collection of minimalistic recreated movie posters by Olly Moss for the 2010 Rolling Roadshow Poster Series.

NYC Transit Collection
I came across this interesting collection of NYC Transit photos dating back from the 1970s and 80’s.  I must say as much as I complain about the subway system, it has come a long way…

Designing Style Guides For Brands
Once again Smashing Magazine has posted a great informative article about
Designing Style Guides for Brands. As a freelancer, it’s always good to see how other companies present their client work.

Logos With Hidden Symbols
Web Designer Depot did a good job spotting hidden symbols in some of the most recognizable logos. I personally overlooked many of these.

Web Designer As The Artist, Scientist and Philosopher
Interesting article by Smashing Magazine describing web designers as the artist, scientist, and philosopher. I agree..

Amazing titles for OFFF Paris created by the Mill.

80 Extreme Advertisements
Interesting collection of so-called “Extreme Advertisements” from around the world by One Extra Pixel. While these are suppose to be taken seriously, I can’t help but think some of them are way over the top and ridiculous that they are almost comical to me.

iPhone Dark Room
Interesting app created by Swanko Lab that let’s users process their iPhone photos in a digital dark room. The app is fully stocked with chemicals and supplies to give the illusion and fun of processing photos by hand.

Evolution of World Cup Ball
In the spirit of the World Cup, New York Times has published an interesting look at the Evolution of the World Cup Ball.

Type Con
A nice collection of typography shown in the Flickr: TypeCon pool.

Clients From Hell
As designers we all dread working for those Clients From Hell, why not tweet your nightmare?

I’ve had some free time lately to work on a couple of personal projects that I have been wanting to do for quite a while now.  One of them is to start a small online store selling short-run prints and stock photo sets.  I’m still researching information on types of prints, paper, inks etc., but in the meantime this is a new illustration that I am currently working on and possibly turning into a 12 x18 print.

iPhone 4
As most of you have heard by now, Apple has released a sneak peak at their new iPhone 4 earlier this week. I have to admit the new slick design and features are worth drooling over.

Behance
The popular design community, Behance has recently upgraded their site. The new site is a huge improvement over the previous release and is much more easier to navigate.  The additional much improved load time isn’t too bad either. 

I’ve been working on a new typeface based off the classic Bauhaus font. This type is made up of solid colors and lots of lines and will be available as a free download. The font will be a handset type (.eps) allowing anyone to easily tweak the color and shapes.

Street Museum iPhone App
Street Museum looks like an amazing developed by Brothers and Sisters.  This app guides users through the streets of London displaying old images over the current view via Geo Tagging and Google Maps.

Colossal Media
I was walking around East Village last week and spotted someone painting a giant mural on the side of a building.  I noticed he was only using regular paint brushes and had a photo as reference of the image he was creating which is really incredible considering the scale of the whole building.  I did some researching and stumbled across Colossal Media which is really similar to what I saw and they even have videos of their process.

Availability Calendar
Availability Calendar is cool little program developed by Creative League that lets users share their availabilities with clients so they when when you are available, booked or on Hold. Really useful for freelancers like me and many others.

Creative Week NYC is here.  A ton of events scattered around the city, some free some not but all pretty interesting. 

On April 9, PSFK is back in Manhattan with their 2010 Conference. The line up will include over 20 speakers who have worked on some influential projects that have been featured on PSFK. Some of the highlighted speakers include Nick Felton (Feltron Report), Tina Roth Eisenberg (Swiss-Miss) and Naveen Selvaduri (Four Square) to name a few. Ticket prices are a bit steep for this one day event $350, but if you have the cash to shell out I’m sure it will be well worth it. 

Mr. Doobs latest project ‘Harmony - Procedural Drawing’ is a fun little online application that lets you draw whatever you want in black and white with a couple of brushes and shapes to choose from. Definitely a good way to kill some time if you are sitting around with nothing to do. 

I recently worked on a new site for ESPN’s Wide World of Sports with the good people over at The Concept Farm. The sports complex which use to be known as Disney’s WWOS was recently overhauled and completely re-branded into ESPN WWOS.  Along with the new re-branding they needed an updated web presence to match the brand and style. The conclusion was a clean and slick website with a bit of an edge.  The site that allows users to register / view upcoming events, explore the complex and browse through an extensive collection of videos and photos. 

Everyone’s favorite online award website, The FWA, has recently relaunched with a completely new look. The site reminds me a little bit of the new agency websites that every company has been hauling out in the past couple of months but none the less it’s a refreshing look.  A couple new features have been thrown into the mix as well including the Dock, which allows you to sign in and save some of your favorite sites.  Public Vote has also been added and as the name sounds it allows people to vote on recent submissions.  Of course, there is the social networking aspect as well that allows you to tweet and facebook the winning sites.
