The Serif - Your daily dose of design inspiration

A nice postcard set is now available from the Advice to Sink in Slowly project. The project run by John Stanbury asked established graduates of University College Falmouth (UCF) to design a poster which passed on advice and inspiration to first year students.

The resulting 25 designs were given as a welcoming gift to the 300 new students enrolling on the BA Illustration, BA Graphic Design, BA Photography and BA Fine Art courses at UCF and are now available all together in this lovely little pack.

To help us all celebrate World Pinhole Camera Day those nice folks at Corbis have created a suite of downloadable PDF camera templates which you can build yourself, create your very own pinhole camera and all for free! Besides the fact they do actually work, they look great! Thanks to Ellie for the tip

I’ll be writting up a little report in the next day or so, but though I would give some space to Alex Trochut.
This guy absolutely blew me away with his dedication to what he does. My fav presentation from the whole OFFF experience.

I thought the titles on the end of Ironman were cool

Kai Heuser just dropped me an email about a project underway at JvM.

“The literature doner is created and solely works with processing. Users can
use a range of functions to get closer to the literary elements of the
doner: excerpts can be extracted, subject fields can be searched, authors
found, selected sections printed out or sent etc. Not to forget: users can
acquire books selected via reclam.de, the publishing company’s website”

Although it is a bummer it’s only in German – but I’m always pretty amped about how people use Processing (seeing as I’m starting to explore it for projects over here!)

Suisse have some nice work on their site
