Link Love: 4.30.09
1. Skelliewag explains that if we find our flow, the money will follow.
2. The New York City Transit Authority Graphic Standard Manual is so well designed! Of course, you can’t go wrong with a red binder stuffed with pages covered in Helvetica. (via draplin)
3. Tricia of bits and bobbins always gets us thinking! This week she wonders, Would you wear garbage?
4. See actual photos of all of the amazing finds that were up for sale in Michael Jackson’s Neverland Estate auction. Word is that at the last minute, he negotiated to have everything returned to him. I don’t blame him; this stuff is way too awesome to sell off! (via hannah)
5. Sally of Already Pretty discusses the importance of investing in quality shoes and how they can elevate any outfit. I’m honored that she chose to feature me alongside fellow shoe lover Jane Aldridge in the article!
6. Jazzi answers many intern-related questions and she should know since she’s done seven internships to date!
7. Learn more about the ampersand than you ever thought possible.
8. Exciting news! In the digital age, vinyl is making a comeback! According to the article, LP sales were up 89% in 2008. I’ve been collecting records since high school; don’t get me started on my WHAM! picture discs and the entire catalog of Journey albums.
9. Creative barcodes, anyone?

Great finds, nubs. I am in love with MTA design. The nyc subway map is amazing – informationally dense yet aesthetically pleasing – and I’ve had a pet project based on it stewing in the back of my mind for years that I might finally take a crack at in the coming months. Then there’s also the fact that this thing so well designed also holds emotional weight for a lot of people – it’s probably -the- most recognized visual interpretation of the city and I always get a warm feeling when I look at it because it’s home.
Here’s some link love back at you -
The stuff these people are doing is similar at times, in my opinion:

Jody Pham: Wowza. Those are utterly amazing! So simple and stunning. Thanks for sharing!
Joanne: And with that mention, pure jealousy sets in! My motto is “All Journey All The Time.” Ahhh, long live Steve Perry. Swoon!
Will: Agreed. It’s so classic and timeless! One of my former coworkers had a copy of the original Vignelli-designed subway maps that he’d bought off Ebay. So good!

Will: Also, those shoes are so so so awesome. Thanks for the link!

Please play “Send Her My Love” to your other Journey albums for me, because I wish I had a Journey vinyl collection, too!

I really like the concept of playing one album to serenade your others. Hahahaha.

M.E.: OMG, best comment ever. I’ll never forget the time that I was in the checkout line at Safeway and Send Her My Love came on…it was a magical moment.

Long Live Steve Perry indeed. There’s a festival in the UK called Download and Journey are playing but there’s no Steve Perry! No Steve Perry, No Deal.
