I like everything about this website: http://www.bookcoverarchive.com/, nice collection and it even tells you the typefaces used- thumbs up.

not sure if this fits more into textiles than visual communication, also not sure how I feel about a bookcover with ‘electronic beam grafting treatment’- sounds too much like a beauty treatment. but interesting all the same!
Ecofont by Sprang. You can download it for free at http://www.t26.com/fonts/5434-SPRANQ-Ecofont.

For all the blog fans: a book design review one. Has some interesting comparisons of UK vs US editions (personally I prefer the UK ones, maybe I’m biased).

I was reading the ‘Glasgow Film Festival’ programme and noticed theyre showing a film called ‘Who Killed Nancy?’, I’m not sure if it’s documentary or by the looks of the artwork- animated?
Anyway, its showing at The Arches on Saturday 21st February alongside a screening of a Sam Taylor Wood short and by the sounds of it they’ll be followed by a live performance by a punk band. Might be a date for the diary.


good morning, its officially the most depressing day of the year- january 19th- so thought i’d brighten it up with a bit of typography…this is the work of a lady called Lizzie Ridout (http://www.lizzieridout.com/) who i found through my favourite creative blog Its Nice That (http://www.itsnicethat.com/).
