Link Love: 2.5.08



1. Forget All The Rules You Ever Learned About Graphic Design looks like a must read.

2. If you’ve ever wondered what New York’s main attractions look like when constructed from simple lego configurations, I Lego NY is a must read! (via bianca)

3. I think I’ve died and gone to shoe heaven. These wedge boots are seriously perfect!

4. Ad agencies are slashing budgets by at least 20% and claim that digital marketing is the only bright spot.

5. The I Can Read Movies Series covers by Spacesick are totally amazing.

6. In case you missed this breaking news, Paris Hilton has launched a line of crafts including scrapbooking, jewelry, and fabric embellishment kits. Seriously.

7. I have no idea what this website has to do with design, but it’s hella funny. “I’m a designer and…I cant find my pants.” (via speak up)

8. This is a fascinating look into graphic designer Michael Beirut’s collection of notebooks spanning 26 years.

9. McDonald’s new billboards have a valid point.

Those boots are so you…are you sure you’re not already wearing them in some parallel universe?

I also must comment on Paris Hilton being a crafty…she’s famous for being vapid. How on earth did she get linked to a line of craft making supplies? Her walnut sized brain can barely craft sentences. Oh, the horror!!!

The book covers are inspired! Love them + they remind me of Saul Bass. My fav has to be the Temple of Doom cover.

Those wedge boots are very cute and soo you!!

I still cannot believe the Paris Hilton article! Her…crafts!!!??? It just doesn’t mix at all. I guess we’ll see how well that line does.

Funny that you post about McDonald’s making fun of Starbucks. I had first heard about those billboards on Conan O’Brien, but wasn’t sure if they were real. Now I know that they are indeed! Seems they are switching places. I hear that McDonald’s did better with their coffee and Starbucks plans to launch a line of healthy fast food.

I always love reading your link love article and all others. Great stuff Nubby :)

Those boots are amazing. I’m not a ‘shoe’ girl – I could probably rotate 5-6 pairs all the time and be fine with it – but those are so simple yet edgy.

I love Paris.

oooh link #8 is great, i’ve just read that Michael Bierut article, I liked the MAD stuff he did. I read an article about him from another link of yours a while back, he’s interesting and informative.
