Near the beginning of this blogs young life i did a Fabulous Friday Link Fest, however due to the Theme Thursday roundup being posted on a Friday i had to abandon this concept. After some thought i wanted to revive it and create a weekly roundup where i could post the best links i had read and enjoyed throughout the week. So this marks the start of a new series, to be posted each Monday.
I’ve named this first one, the Typography Edition due to the incredible popularity of the first link below which i posted on Twitter last week.
- Rules of Typography (Downloadable PDF)
A unique and beautiful poster from designer Evan Stremke. I posted this on Twitter and i had a mass of retweets and the link now has over 1500 clicks. - 50 iPhone Apps for Web Designers & Developers
