Invisible Creature, formerly Asterisk Studios, is probably the best place to go for music labels and musicians looking for great design. They’ve done album covers/books, posters, (and everything else) for tons and tons of huge artists in all genres. The Illustrator work is great. Simplicity with colors and shapes alongside good band photography and great textures also. I love everything about this studio (which is odd because I usually hate music-industry design).

I somehow came across this on Typophile.com and I fell in love. I’ve always thought blackletter is cool, but there really aren’t very many situations to use it today, especially because its so damn hard to read (we have been trained to read sans-serifs best). But, Elias Bitencourt is making “Benedicta” which is like a sans-serif looking Blackletter? I sent him an email a while ago about when it should be done (which is a stupid question because making a font takes years), so I’m assuming the response will also take just as long. But once I find a use for it, I’ll bug the crap out of him to buy it - even if it isn’t finished!

| The best use of javascript ever! This website is brilliant. I color selections are great - and easy to see how great when they are all laid out on one page. Hopefully it inspires to ditch long-loading flash sites - and get creative with coding.

| Even though Kent Henderson is not exactly a minimalist, his website definitely is! And the combination of the two makes me love his portfolio, as short as it is. Last year I even took his “2″ image (which is only 400×400 pixels) and rasterbated it to put up on my wall. The raw letterpress type makes me happy.
