Our new theme, Rubber Cement, has arrived in the Theme Garden! Enjoy this demonstration. While it lacks the extensive customization of our previous release, this petite theme is still flexible in all the right places. It even has support for pages and answer posts! Nice, neat, and a touch retro, Rubber Cement will catch the eye of discerning young moderns everywhere.

Lovely! My next theme, which is almost done, makes liberal use of the League of Moveable Type’s League Gothic typeface also.

At the risk of flogging a dead horse, I do like the flair shown here by Laz Marquez in his reimagining of Hitchcock film artwork, particularly The Birds. (via Alex Seder)

Love the result of Alex Cornell’s branding work for startup Plancast, “the hardest and most fulfilling project in [his] career thus far”. Good, detailed writeup on the ISO50 blog.

Design and Art Direction 1966 Annual, with superbly minimalist cover design by Alan Aldridge and Lou Klein. From D&AD’s Flickr page (via Peter Nidzgorski):

During the past few years one has been aware of a growing professionalism in editorial, film and advertising techniques. In this Annual you will see work where a strong idea has been welded to this competence, to solve a design problem with economy and flair.

Nicholas Felton publishes his 2009 Annual Report:

Each day in 2009, I asked every person with whom I had a meaningful encounter to submit a record of this meeting through an online survey. These reports form the heart of the 2009 Annual Report. From parents to old friends, to people I met for the first time, to my dentist… any time I felt that someone had discerned enough of my personality and activities, they were given a card with a URL and unique number to record their experience.

Ordered. Get yours.
