Flags vs. Guns
Symbols are important, especially visual symbols; I’d be the last person to deny that. However, in the wake of Dylann Roof’s monstrous killing of nine African-American members of the Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, SC, one symbol is dominating the discourse more perhaps than it should. There is a robust debate going on currently about…

The Mystery of the “Jazz” Cup Design
The design for these ubiquitous yet largely unnoticed paper cups from the 1990s has attained cult status from a very, very small subset of the American public with the time to think about these things. About two weeks ago one of these people kicked off a search for its designer on Reddit, and Thomas Gounley,…

Dimensional Typography by Muokkaa
Alejandro López Becerro, a designer based in Madrid, works under the name Muokkaa Studio and specializes in three-dimensional typography and illustration. His alluringly rendered letterforms are bright and unceasingly playful—he doesn’t just add depth to the shape of a character; he constructs it out of unexpected parts and in surprising ways. I think it’s interesting…

How Music Got Free
Most of us who lived through the end of the compact disc era and the rise of the MP3 era think we already know the story behind how music went from an incredibly profitable medium to one whose economic future seems to be in continual peril.

The feature additions getting the most attention are the changes to Photoshop CC 2015, which attempt to bring more screen design-specific thinking to the workhorse image editor. These include export improvements, the ability to add multiple styles…

Streamline Hits 4,000 Icons
I own several icon sets but the one that I return to over and over is Vincent le Moign’s copius Streamline pack, which almost always seems to have just the pictogram I need when I dig into its catalog. In fact, when I published my Design Tools Survey recently it was Streamline I turned to…

Firefox: The Things You Do Online Matter
This is a thoroughly endearing promotional video for Firefox, which is still my preferred desktop browser, the one I spend the most time in each day. I use Firefox because I like its features, first, but also because I like Mozilla’s philosophy of an open Web (even if I can’t exactly square that belief with…

Roman Holiday’s Supercuts

He has two essential kinds of videos: first, supercuts that survey dozens of seemingly unrelated films to identify a…
