For the love of letterhead design
Letterheady is a collection of (historic) letterhead designs from various well known people. Check it out – for some interesting design examples peppered with nostalgia. If you’re more interested in the content of letters than the design on paper you might like its companion blog, Letters of note.
We particularly like the bite taken from the letterhead for Jim Davis, creator of Garfield - a trick we pulled with Tara Book Company’s business cards a few year’s back. The designer of this one beat us by some 20 years it seems!

Rain drops?
ain likes the 'Daily drop cap’ - a website devoted to exploring creative possibilities within the seemingly narrow framework of the archaic practice of introducing a paragraph of text with a drop cap (like this one - left).
It’s not that all of the websites offerings are very readable, some are close to illegible, but because of the playful, creative quality of the ideas there. Many of the contributors are not designers of type, but illustrators which means their approach to design of lettering is less constrained by convention.Some retro stamp design

Rain in London?
Photographer Matt Stuart has an eye for ‘happy accidents’. Through his lens we see some of life’s little oddities and how the camera does, after all, lie.

Judge the book…
We’re fans of Australian novelist Peter Carey, but we’d buy these just for the covers, sublime design/illustration by Jenny Grigg.

Wow, it all adds up, we didn’t know. You’d think we would have paid more attention in class.
