It looks like a cross between an electric circuit diagram and a Mondrian painting – but the London Underground map also revolutionised design. Jonathan Glancey travels back in time.

I was a teenage font addict. On Microsoft Word I’d lovingly scroll through the drop-down font menu: Avenir Book, Baskerville, Goudy, Goudy Old Style.

An interesting look at the process of logo creation.

Art Chantry is a con artist. The great con is the world of graphic design, and despite his protests to the contrary, Chantry is an artist. Like a magician revealing how his tricks are done, Chantry spills all in his new Feral House book Art Chantry Speaks: A Heretic’s History of 20th Century Graphic Design. Examples of his heresy to the trade abound, but I particularly enjoyed this quote, “Designers need to be aware out there. This stuff we do isn’t ‘art‘-it’s marketing language and propaganda."

One of Facebook's iconic logos just got an update. That tiny image that lingers in the corner of most Facebook pages — two small silhouettes of a man and a woman — it will be a little different on Facebook mobile pages starting this week. The old image featured the woman's silhouette behind the man's, with the woman's figure a bit smaller.

Quick tips to avoid shaky hand lettering for both straight and curved lines with written instructions and animated gif illustration.

You could call it a hobby now, but in grad school I took a course on data visualization and I grew to love it. I draw my inspiration from Tufte, The Economist, and Wes Anderson (haha). I'm always happy to hear feedback on my designs, so let me have it! And, FYI, I'd be happy to do data viz work for you--for free, even, if it's for a good cause and you can offer some recognition.
