I wrote about Neue a long while back on the previous version of my blog but they have since put a lot more work on their site and it is all just absolutely brilliant.

Thank you for the reminder, Formfiftyfive.

“Hello! I’m Eric Carl, a web/graphic designer and illustrator residing in Los Angeles. I currently work at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects as a web designer and instructor. I have a passion for art and design, its the truth. I have a certain affection for vintage illustration and advertising, particularly from the ’60s and ’70s when things got weird.”

I feel exactly the same way about the whole 60s and 70s thing.

There is some really interesting work in the portfolio of Diego Fellay. I have to be honest and say it’s not my favorite website in the world but regardless, there is some really interesting work on display. The photo-series of the skier above is fantastic.

You the Designer has rounded up what they are considering the 25 must read interviews of 2008. I am always a little skeptical of lists claiming to be the ‘best’ or exclaiming they are a ‘must read’ but there are some really good interviews here for sure. It’s just always tough making those overarching claims in our business because everything is completely subjective. With a list that long though there is bound to be something informative and inspiring to suit just about anyone’s creative taste.
