“Know Your Weak Points!”, a poster designed by Olly Moss for episode five of A Life Well Wasted, “the internet radio show about video games and the people who love them”. I really dig Olly’s personal wordmark too, derived from four letters of the famous Hollywood sign. Clever. (via Tiny Cartridge)

“Why do we Tumbl? In the end, we use Tumblr not because it’s a great way to connect with our readers (though it is that), or because we believe this or something like it is a part of a new way forward for interaction between publishers and audience (though we think that too). We use Tumblr because it’s fun and while, you know, you can’t eat fun, or trade it in for fistfuls of dollars to fund serious journalism, we believe there’s a value in doing things we like simply because we like to do them, and that hopefully our fellow Tumblrs will too.”

Just when I thought the scrapbook design meme was played out, MetaLab’s Sara White produces what may be the definitive theme of its type for Tumblr, Vintage Scrapbook. It’s a paid theme via Envato’s Theme Forest, but at $12 — and with MetaLab’s customary attention to every single detail — it’s a steal. I’d love to see an option in Tumblr’s Theme Garden for designers to offer paid themes, perhaps with a revenue split akin to the App Store.

Marshall Lorenzo:

The Art of Tim Burton, a 434-page tome packed with more than 1,000 drawings, doodles, paintings and evocative concept art dating back to Burton’s teen years. Packaged in both limited-edition lithograph ($300) and standard hardcover ($70) versions.

This might make up for just missing the exhibition at MOMA. But I’ll wait till the book arrives on Amazon, as shipping from Steeles Publishing to New Zealand is more than twice the price of the standard edition, at US$145. Ouch.

Jarred Bishop’s new project is a song-a-day Tumblr utilising recent support for extracting album art from uploaded tracks. Simply brilliant, from the jewel case design to the single-character unicode URL.
