A recent internal project required us to create this file of over 75 national flags in vector and raster format. We are now giving this away and hoping it may help someone else out there. The file is saved in Adobe Illustrator CS1 format and can be used anyway you like. Some images were found from various sources online, many were drawn from scratch by YouWorkForThem. Download Freebie
One of our very talented customers just let us know they used the font Ivory (by Facetype) for a recent project. The result is a very nice example of Ivory’s beauty when combined with such beautiful filming. Have you use one of our fonts/stock in a project? Share it with us!
Great work and experiments from Petra Cortright.
I have been watching this really strange and sometimes amazing Flickr account by the name of Bustbright. They typically post rare and unknown designs from the past, but also designs by big names like Rand and Beall. Most the posts are very dry, but there are some gems here and there. But even the dry work seems to contain some certain sense of interestingness that continues drawing me back for more.
Our hot font release of 2009, Agostina, recently made an appearance in this years hollywood action film Crank: High Voltage. Used during two different sequences in the film, Agostina puts on its dancing shoes and shines. Much thanks to the designers who used our font for this project, and great execution with the sequences! Thanks to Mark Stuckert for the heads up.
Right now (could get pulled) there is a sample from Gary Hustwit’s documentary Objectified where they talked with Jonathan Ive about the design of Apple products. I have yet to see the film but this clip was very interesting and reminds me why we do what we do…
Studio Von Birken updates with some new work and a new site. I am not feeling the new site design too much, but the work is always enjoyed…
I picked up (itunes) the latest Flaming Lips album and have been really digging it. Their last album I listened to it so much, I now despise it (in a good way though). This latest album (Embryonic) is really nice because its much more dark and overall just odd, good for my soul right now it seems. So I went looking for any videos released for the new album and came across this one. Not the most amazing video, but its fun for a short break this morning. It will be interesting to see what other videos they release for this album…
We have been having a great month for fonts, with many new designers joining the team and designing many new handsets and opentype collections. One of our latest designers to join the team is Ashkahn. We though we would take this quick moment to tell you you really should check out their work. Lots of great type, patterns and album work going on in the portfolio. Also, check out their first addition to the YouWorkForThem collection, Anything.
Matthew recently joined our lineup of font designers, so we wanted to take a minute to introduce him to everyone.
Here is a nice little Vimeo vid we were told to checkout this week. It features one of our favorites, Milton Glaser, doing a sketch and chatting away. A great break for your daily wonderings.
