Twitter Roundup: Week of 13 July
It's about time. We've been remiss in posting the weekly Twitter Roundup for the very reason we asked you whether @Pinch_Bespoke should continue in its current form: client work is again at a steady pace and we needed to know whether the effort was worth it. Apparently, it is. In the week that passed, we shared some work, checked in on Design Victoria's excellent "Why Design? series and took our "hetero" temperature with Stockholm Pride's ingenious gaymometer (we learned that we're exactly 1% hetero). We lauded Mucca Design's packaging for Brooklyn Fare, joined in the Typekit/Typecon 2009 Web fonts discussion, gleaned a bit from the advertising industry about promotion and storytelling, and revisited both: Smith magazine and Christopher Alexander's classic architectural guide, A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction.
- Scale:
- Eat Me Daily admires Mucca Design's "cheeky" (or super duper smart) packaging for Brooklyn Fare. Via @gruber
- Style:
- Slate Magazine joins the Typekit love fest. "Down with Verdana!" transcends "type designers and font fanciers".
- Respond:
- The discussion continues on City of Portland Web "design contest". McIsaac to Mayor's Communications Director.
- Deliberate:
- Kudos to Design Victoria's "Why Design?" series. Fifty well-considered responses from influential designers.
- Embrace:
- Now this is branding. The cutest damned story ever about two crazy kids and a closet full of Post-Its. @srfstn
- Tell:
- Eye Blog's Mike Radcliffe makes the case; brand agencies can teach designers a thing or two about storytelling.
