Link Love: 5.28.09

1. 10 logo design tips from the field is timeless advice.

2. If you’re looking for a laugh, visit the Cynical-C Blog for delights such as Question of the Day: What Would Your Last Meal Be?, the very important Goths in Hot Weather and Amazon one star reviews of classic movies, music and literature.

3. Learn how to prepare and talk about your portfolio.

4. According to the LA Times, designer jeans are recession-proof.

5. Portland’s very own Draplin of DDC just cataloged his entire body of work since 1993 onto one poster. I am in awe.

6. Thank you to dirtyflaws for locating my dream wardrobe.

7. Proof that you really are what you eat (thanks bianca).

8. The recesssion hits rap: Rappers are finding it difficult to afford new bling and some are resorting to (gasp!) cubic zirconia-encrusted jewelry or renting it instead.

9. Wolff Olins delivers with the amazing Living Proof No Frizz line of packaging. I love the containers, the type and the colors.

The pictures of the insides of people’s fridges are amazing. I’ve always thought you can tell a lot about a person by the contents of their fridge/pantry and what’s in their medicine cabinet. This set of photos is amazingly done and speaks to how different our food choices can be. But I have to ask…”What’s in Nubby’s fridge?”.

Love that Todd Simmons said packaging here looks like NASCAR. At a typical American grocery store this is best illustrated.

Also love Draplin Design Co. If you haven’t read his entry about the summer he was a circus carnie, DO IT. You won’t be sorry.

This week, I am loving this:
