Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

During a three-week Creative Problem Solving Course in the Digital Media Management mas­ter pro­gram of Hyper Island Manchester, stu­dents devel­oped Queue Hacker, a way to take the queue out of the post office. It was devel­oped for Britain, but I could see it work­ing really well here in the U.S. also. Such a great idea — learn more about how it works and the process behind its devel­op­ment right here.

Love Mike Monteiro’s new Tattly.

What do you think of the new, Jay-Z-created Brooklyn Nets logo? I’m in the camp that thinks the inten­tion might have been great, but the exe­cu­tion is a miss. I’m more impressed with the very dif­fer­ent alter­na­tives cre­ated by Jon Contino and Michael Weinstein.

Fonts​.com has a brand new site cour­tesy of Happy Cog. Personally I wish the logo/brand had been updated as well, but oth­er­wise it’s a vast improvement.
