In Radiohead's new video for "House of Cards", 3D plotting technologies were used instead of cameras or lights, creating a virtual matrix of depth and field – it's music video meets laser show. Pretty cool.

FontShop (producers of the FontFont library) just let us know they've released four new fonts today... Each FontFont release is newsworthy in its own right, but there is something especially momentous about this one: four brand new families, each one very different from the others; new styles for three of their most popular typefaces; and a dozen expertly crafted OpenType releases that breathe new life into FontFont classics.

Did Parisian art director Jerome Leclere know about our infatuation with wood textured sites when he built this portfolio? Probably knot! Yet, we get a woody for wood here, and by a long branch, this realization is one of the best we've seen. Forget the great identity work, illustrations and website designs... He's animated each project to be carved out of the wood grain patina as you click it! So warm and wonderful, we just can't stop rubbing the wood.... More
BLU is a innovative street artist whose work in large scale formats often has an allusion to a larger social-political commentary. While some of his work is ambiguous, and reminiscent of the black and white drawings of Edward Gorey, most of his work requires a bit of thought and introspection, and strikes us as a cross between Art Spiegelman and Banksy. This home site for his work is a great all-in-one destination to view all of his work. Also don't miss his one-of-a-kind graffiti animation MUTO (for video, scroll down).... More
After years of keeping his silence and hiding behind a holding page (something we can all relate to), Christian Layugan has just reloaded his portfolio site and removed his trusted mask – a 7 year old splash screen. So finally, for all to see – naked for the first time in public, a collection of all the work produced by this now much older and wiser senior designer from Sydney, Australia. Currently he is working at Soap Creative, who do a large chunk of work for 20th Century Fox, and lectures part time at Billy Blue College of Design.... More
A sublime dynamically driven portfolio site for this classic Chicago design firm. They effectively leverage Flash to present their professional work as large as possible, and as clean as possible.

They're a smart, fresh firm with enthusiastic, young designers who still use the words "sweet" and "shebang" to describe their work...
