Hasta La Creative!

There are a lot of people I admire around the world. But Andreas Pihlström and the Suprb crew must be one of my top 5 for sure.

Their graphic and programming talent is always amazing and they’ve got a real eye for what the market needs at a given moment.

I’m a fan of WordPress.

I started using it a couple years ago and from then on I’ve applied it to almost every website I’ve developed. Its capacities are just huge, plus it has an enormous community willing to help you out whenever you get stuck.

Today via Design:Float I came across this nifty help guide that the guys from DBS Interactive just released for free.

A list eith several functions you’ll use oftenly when it comes to create or edit your templates on WordPress.

I’m sure it’ll come in handy to more than one out there.

I hadn’t realized I hadn’t posted anything about Helvetica: The Film, the movie about Helvetica, the typography.
 
I heard of it being made over a year ago, and since then I’ve been eagorly waiting to see it.
 
In the end the veredict is only one: It was worth the wait.
 
The documentary is excellent. Its editing is exceptional, the interviewed amazing, and the typography a modern classic.
 
From the testimonies of design geniuses such as Massimo Vignelli, Matthew Carter, David Carson, Paula Scher, Stefan Sagmeister and Eric Spiekermann among various others, Helvetica: The Film is a first class visual testimony that should without a doubt be seen by every graphic designer around the world. In fact I believe it should be being showcased in all design schools all over the globe. So if there happens to be any school directors passing by here, please try to show it. Your students will be grateful.
 
The best of all the documentary, in my opinion, is that it really manages to give Helvetica its well deserved protagonism, but at the same time gives an enormous amount of life advice, first to graphic designers, but really to any person who watches it.
 
This isn’t only a documentary about a typeface. It’s a graphic design guide written by the beautiful Helvetica.
 
And of course, not to leave you hanging. Here’s the full documentary.

Amazing words by sci-fi writing genius Harlan Ellison.

TED’s Talks are truly amazing. I’ve been watching them for some time now but only recently I’vwe come to realize their true amazingness.
 
If you don’t know, TED is a worldwide event where the brightest mind on the planet speak. From design to biology, society, filosophy, technology, etc.
 
The thing is that on TED’s website you can find the talks updated weekly and in great quality. By far one of the best resources on the internet today.
 
This time I’m showing you an exposition by Philippe Starck, who speaks in a very funny and gesticular yet profound way about why we design and why we must know when not to.
