City Icons for Offscreen Magazine by Adam Whitcroft

/

Commissioned by Offscreen Magazine for their fifth issue feature "A Web Worker's Field Guide", this collection of icons by Adam Whitcroft depicts a well known building or ideogram from 14 cities around the world. These icons have been released under the Creative Commons license and are available for download.

The download contains the master EPS file in CS3 - CS6 format, 512px SVGs and 512px PNGs. It's worth noting these icons were designed for print so they are not snapped to a precise pixel grid.

Typekit Lists: A Good Place to Start

/

Lists have been created by the Typekit team and feature an editorialized means of browsing. Each list features fonts organized by theme (sci-fi or typewriter fonts), intended use (good for longform, alternatives to Helvetica), or defining characteristic (rounded fonts, fat faces). Think of them as a good place to start when you aren’t quite sure what font you’re after.

BKLYNR: Compelling Brooklyn Journalism

ABOUT BKLYNR

It’s harder than it should be to find quality journalism about Brooklyn. Certain aspects and areas of the borough are covered to death (you know which ones), while the rest of Brooklyn gets limited attention. We want to help change that. BKLYNR strives to produce thoughtful, compelling journalism that explores new narratives rather than retreading tired tropes.

Twice a month, we publish in-depth stories about the political, economic, and cultural life of Brooklyn. Each issue contains three pieces.

Cotton Bureau

MAKING T-SHIRTS USED TO BE HARD. NOT ANYMORE.

Here is how it works: You submit a t-shirt design to Cotton Bureau. If your design makes the cut, they post it for a two-week pre-order. If you sell at least 25 shirts during those two weeks, Cotton Bureau prints your shirt, ships it and deals with all the customer service issues ... and you get a cut of the profit.

Web Design Life by Eric E. Anderson

Considering my insatiable desire and drive to collect things, I've decided to start a magazine on Flipboard.

Just Make Things

/

Such a great excerpt from the Kern and Burn Book:

“I grew up on a small farm in Canada, it was relatively isolated, and it wasn’t like I had much to do. I had to self-entertain. The obvious activity that I gravitated to was to make things. Or destroy things. One or the other. The farm was where that seed of ‘making’ was first sown, and I still feel like that’s what I aspire to do — to just make things.”
— Peter Buchanan-Smith, Kern and Burn Book
