I don’t normally post personal stuff on here but I’ve just completed my dissertation for my degree and I’m feeling very satisfied. The title in case you’re interested is “Youth sub-cultures have always come from the working-class” and I only just managed to make the minimum word count.
The best site i’ve seen for a while, over the course of a few days I managed to look through every page of this site plus of course it has an excellent alliterative title too. Click here if you’re also an LP cover lover.
Things Magazine (who have been nice enough to link to us in the past) have an amazing collection of Pelican covers online. They’re sorted by era and there are a ton of them. Click here to take a look.
Kitsune Noir have posted up some scans of the renowned type foundry House Industries look book that showcases many of their typefaces.

Check the pictures out here and check House’s site here.
