    Interactive Magazines

    I like issuu - and I also think inDesign CS4 have an option for making these on-the-go.

    Clean and minimal fonts

    Soho gothic is nice, clean and distinct. Maybe a bit too distinct for body, not shure. And I really disagree about Gill Sans not fit for body - it's nice, friendly and readable, after all, typography is about feeling of the characters too, not just the mathematics of what has the EXACT perfect...

    Early stages

    Is it cl. or d.? I must admit, I don't get it. Whats with the dot/dash? And... err... does it stand for clord? Is that your freelance design nickname?

    Please review my new child

    I like it, it's low-key, to-the-point... actually, one of the things I like best is the person who've done the copy, it's well-written and does what it should: say "you just leave to us" instead of saying "omzg I'm so gooood!". I like 90% of the site. Miiight be a tad too girly, but it's ok...

    Your favourite body fonts?

    Okey, I just gotta ask, why Arial? It's horrible, and ESPECIALLY used for body text. Works on the web, but in print, when you have the option to go for Helvetica (or better, Univers)? Main issue with Arial beside the details is the spacing/kerning. So IMO, if you are doing bodytype, stay the...

    How much do you charge?

    Remember that you're not selling them a logo. A logo is just vector-outlines, numbers and mathematical thingies. The logo doesn't have any value at all in itself. what they buy is 1)Your time 2)The RIGHT TO USE IT. So add the two, adjust by your level of experience and how massive the task is...

    New Logo?

    I like the joined FD. Personally I think the whole "three-round-and-one-sqared-corners"-thing is a tad used up, but it works since it's basically a framework for the real logo. I think the type need some work though, A little less hostile typeface maybe? Not shure which you've used, but it's...

    Portfolio Website

    I like it! It's different and good layout! The only thing I miss is a home page, to give a good first impression.

    Design trends...Where is it going next?

    Oooooh, I'll try it out and join the avant-garde! On a more serious note, I actually think the vector-trend is fading away for a more organic look (look at the big corps like starbucks and mcDonalds, it's much more hand-written and a more natural organic look, very in vein with the rest of society

    OGC unveils new logo to red faces

    “It is true that it caused a few titters among some staff when viewed on its side, but on consideration we concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters OGC - and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government...

    Some help with a logo

    Kind of electro-nurave-electroclash-pop-ish? The concept of the lines over the O's is that it will reflect lines over the faces of the "band-members", which will be cartoons (cartoon pop band, as known by Gorillaz etc). (sorry for the crap picture, try to ignore the splatter-thing)

    Some help with a logo

    :rolleyes: Devil is in the details, so if visual advantage is marginal, that's okey ;) I think that's a contradiction, from a purely aesthetic point of view, it doesn't matter if you get what it says or not, if it fails as a piece of communicational design is one thing, and I'd love to take...

    Adobe CS4 Student Edition

    I've heard that too, with the student-version not beeing legal to use for commercial projects but it's actually wrong. When you have purchased the student version you are free to do whatever the heck you want, use it for commercial purposes, keep doing it after you graduate, use the box to store...

    Some help with a logo

    I can't decide on which of these is the best, from a visual/aesthetic perspective, which is better?
