Rams’ Principles Series: 1-10
The entire series was great!
Just signed up for the newsletter – I learned about your site from a friend talking about the contest. I love the illustrations on 10 principles of design, heading off to read some of them now.
I won’t lie, I’m posting to enter the contest. But: the Dieter Rams principles posts are great. The new icons set post is also fantastic. Best, Owen.
Gotta admit, I didn’t know much about your brand and/or blog before, Dave. I quickly glanced back, though, and saw that cool Case for your iPhone. Maybe they’ll make one for the 4??
i love the artist feature on stuart kolakovic–he’s one of my favorites.
I’ve seen throughout the past couple of months your work and the work of colourcubic on dribble and decided to visit the site.
Gotta say I love your logo, site isn’t too bad either. :)
My favourite post would definitely haveto be http://inksie.com/journal/joys-of-tape/ Got a fair few laughs out of this especially Stephen J . Bosell, what a fine human being he is. :p
Will also admit to seeing the competition and knowing that poster needed to be on my wall in the empty space above my screen.
