I had fallen behind on maintaining the NADE blog so I decided to post several links in one post. I am still playing with the idea of doing larger weekly posts with fewer daily posts, we’ll see how it works out, till then enjoy the below.

NYT’s review of Vandal Squad event at PowerHouse Arena on Thursday.

Is Print Dead? Interesting commentary on e-Books and the future of print. In addition, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer moves from a print to strictly web presence.

A step back in terms of design on the web, the Readability plugin. Thank you Underconsideration.

A great insight on how designers solve problems and organize their thoughts, Sketchbook: Conceptual Drawings From the World’s Most Influential Designers, coming out in May. Thank you Design Observer.

Science meets Design Theory at SEED Magazine.

“Typography is the core of graphic design, but is often neglected. Supplement your design education with typographic tools and inspiration from FontShop.” A great resource for students, expand your design education at FontShop.
