So what happened was… Lance Clark from Clarks Shoes UK thought that the company courtyard was a little dull. So he called ROSO to see what they could come up with. And then Arch Daily wrote a really great little post about it that you can read and see more at over here.

YouWorkForThem is proud to bring you the release of our Fall 2008 Men’s and Women’s tees and sweatshirts. We’ve worked hard to produce this unique collection of limited edition designs. These shirts are a step above the rest, check them out!

Mac Funamizu’s phone concept using a wrap around screen is the you know what of phone design. It would really interesting to play with visuals/videos on that sort of screen format. Ah, we can hope right? (Boing Boing)

DOTMOV is a digital film festival organized by an online magazine “SHIFT”, aiming to discover unknown talented creators and provide an opportunity to show their works. We had a total of 289 works from 37 countries this year, and excellent 23 works among them were selected by guest judges. All the selected works are also exposed on the website. This year’s festival will take place in several cities in Japan and oversea during the whole month of November, 2008. If your Japan, Hong Kong or Brasil you will for sure want to catch this one.

Boy Girl Talk has a new site that hooks up designers with developers, etc. It’s called CollabFinder and it seems like a good site to use if you are looking for people with specific skills etc.

They also did Rumplo, which is a great resource for finding shirts.

If you are in Japan, you might want to go check out this event – HIGH5

It’s finally here… Grain Edit’s first anniversary! Their archive of impeccable posts on design should be enough to make you head over there, but if not, they are giving away a lot of booty to celebrate.

This isn’t the first time I have posted this, and I expect not my last either. But ALK1′s Flickr stream is for sure one of the strongest documenting American, English and European Graphic Design history on Flickr. I really enjoyed her recent post of her late husbands archives from before there was a proper Helvetica library available in Portland. Read more…

Remember Lamborghini? You know, the 80′s sports car sensation with its insane yellow and fire red colors. Anyways, did you know they are now a profitable company that sells over 2000 cars a year? Previously they used to only sell around 200-300 cars a year! Well, they have now taken a strange journey into creating a sedan, if you can call it that. Read more…

When we (Cina & Young) started YouWorkForThem 6 years ago, we soon realized our time for client work was very thin. Over the years we have cut back, putting almost all of our focus and time into this little child of ours. But sometimes, we make time to help friends, fellow peers or big buckaroo clients with some design insight. This year, we helped out our peers David and Zoe from a very interesting company called Commonwealth. They are based out of Brooklyn, New York and do very interesting work for an array of clients using various mediums. You might call them Architects if you had to call them anything, but they are not creating architecture in the traditional sense. Read more…
