Merry Christmas everybody!

Okay, so it's actually Boxing Day by this point — but Merry Christmas anyway. Had a brilliant day with family, a lot of very thoughtful gifts, and some great food. I hope everyone else had as good a day!

link Wednesday 24th of December, 2008
Sometimes a dude just <3s Helvetica. The lower back in question belongs to Glenn Sorrentino, a US Marine turned Graphic Designer who is clearly fond of the classic typeface. His portfolio of design and photography is also more than worthy of a few minutes of your time.

The personal site of Yulia Brodskaya. Beautiful papercraft work from this London-based illustrator and designer. I can't even comprehend the kind of tactile skill you need to create something like these.
I'm particularly fond of the way that all the type-based images use Helvetica, completely reworking that font's usually 'invisibile' forms into something astounding and fluid.

Charlie Brooker's very insightful eulogy for Oliver Postgate. I don't think anyone could have said it better.

FontFlake, by Miller Designworks, is a simple flash ecard that makes an adjustable snowflake from letterforms. Festive.
