A curated collection of great longform pieces of journalism.

Hi. Thanks for visiting my blog. I wanted to share all the nice books I regularly notice and have collected over the years. Please email me if you have any suggestions or books you want to share. I am an illustrator and pattern designer located in Brooklyn, New York.

"…Or, to put it another way: Posterous is an *engineered product*, while Tumblr is a *designed product*." & "…The second is that for consumer web apps today, design matters more than technology."

Andy Budd: "The UK has some of the top fashion schools in the world, producing graduates of outstanding calibre. We’ve got graphic design schools staffed by some of the top names in the industry, and product design schools creating our next generation of innovators. So why don’t we seem able to do the same for the world of interaction design?"

iA: "UX Design. [It's] Sort of preposterous isn’t it? The idea that someone thinks they can control how you feel."

Check out these brilliant keynote videos from TYPOBerlin. The talks by Martin Majoor (the creator of one of my favourite typefaces — Scala) and the brilliant Jonathan Hoefler & Tobias Frere-Jones are a must watch. The presentations are from years gone by but they're still completely relevant… if not more so nowadays, given the sudden influx of typefaces at a web-designers disposal owing to Typekit and other @font-face platforms.

Wilson Miner: "Every designer is wired differently. Some people are idea people, some people are artists. I'm an optimizer."

Jeffrey Zeldman: "This may sound Jedi-mind-trick-ish, but never create a blog or a Twitter feed with the explicit idea of promoting yourself. Create for the joy of creating. Share for the joy of the sharing, and because the information you’re sharing genuinely excites you. Do that, and the rest will follow."
