Design sites

I found this on my internet travels. It’s a fantastic and beautiful site about Australian graphic design history, which I felt deserved a mention:

Re:collection

Re:collection was established in 2009 by Dominic Hofstede as an online archive of Australian graphic design, with a focus on work created between the years 1960–1990. The project was created primarily to address the scarcity of reference material available related to this most significant period for the profession.

When I first started Longueville Media in 2002 from home, one of my neighbours was Donald Fish, an influential advertising industry designer and executive who is featured on the site.

Then, of course, more on fonts …

Fonts In Use

Fonts In Use is an archive of typography indexed by typeface, format, industry, and period – with examples in use across all sorts of media.
