ThingLink - Design Grid

I was introduced to a fantastic new service by some fantastic students from the UFJSchool called ThingLink. Basically, it allows you to add links to an image with icons. This can be used from everything to teaching how a photo was taken to explaining a complex document. Check out my first ThingLink below of the basics of designing a spread.

So take a look and hover over the image to discover new links that can help you with design.

I think there will be many more of these to come.

Good Design is Everywhere

Good design is universal - no matter what language you speak (or can read). This is just the case while I was browsing around Designspiration and found graphic designer, Francesco Franchi.

I soon came across Franchi's Flikr account and saw he uploaded hundreds of amazing designs. 

He is an art director for 'IL — Intelligence in Lifestyle' the new gentlemen's style magazine of 'Il Sole 24 ORE', the leading financial and economical daily newspaper in Italy.

Here is his website.
