We love nothing more than spending time perusing design eye candy. And when you’ve got a digital magazine to produce, it’s time well spent!
Here are five places to get your design fix. Really, each one is a rabbit hole you can fall into and swim in amazing graphic design inspiration.
- There’s a new book out that explores some of the most iconic and important images in graphic design history. It’s called Graphic: 500 Designs That Matter and you can explore some text and photos before you buy the book by reading this article from Wired.
- It used to be that web publications tried to make themselves look like print publications. Now it’s starting to flip. This piece from fastcodesign.com takes a look at this fresh print redesign at the New York Times that seeks to infuse paper with some of the freshness of digital design.
- Tucked in a big building in the East Village in New York is the The Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography. If you can’t visit this “800-square-foot treasure chest filled with tens of thousands of design and typographical ephemera,” you can get a glimpse in this post at 6sqft.com.
