Best ever blog for Typography



http://ilovetypography.com/

From the site

"I love Typography (iLT) was born on August 8, 2007; I, on the other hand was born in 1969. iLT was born from a desire to bring the subject of Typography to the masses. All too often, articles on typography are rather bland and, although informative, do little to elicit feelings of wow.

So, iLT is designed to inspire its readers, to make people more aware of the typography that is around them. We really cannot escape typography; it's everywhere: on road signs, shampoo bottles, toothpaste, and even on billboard posters, in books and magazines, online...the list is endless, and the possibilities equally so."


Also try the Type game!!

Enjoy

Artist survival skills



This book has been developed for two reasons. One: Success in the visual arts, no matter how you define it, comes more readily to artists who manage their careers professionally but Canadian visual artists have few resources to guide their professional development. And two: There is a particular knowledge deficit in the community of Canadian visual artists concerning the importance and techniques of marketing and sales.
Whereas there a many worthwhile books for entrepreneurs on starting and growing a small business, this book looks at key components of small business theory and discusses them in the context of a creative skills-based small business—the self-employed Canadian visual artist or crafts person. It was produced in order to motivate and assist Canadian visual artists and crafts persons seeking to increase the percentage of their income that comes from their artistic practice.

Logo evolution

"Logo Evolution. Today over on Neatorama, Alex takes a look at the logos of several tech companies, and how they’ve evolved.
I wish Nokia still used their original mark. It depicts a fish, yet “the word ‘Nokia’ in Finnish … means a dark, furry animal we now call the Pine Marten weasel.”
Seen here, the original logo for Apple:"
