Fifteen Free Fonts
Smashing Magazine identifies 15 free fonts that don't suck.
Every now and again we take a look around, select “fresh” high-quality free fonts
and present them to you in a brief overview. The choice is enormous, so
the time you need to find them is usually the time you should be
investing in your current projects. We search for them and we find
them, so you don’t have to.

Test Your Knowledge of Design History
Friends of HOW Bryony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit, newly moved to Austin, TX, are joining us at the HOW Conference as hosts of a new event designed to test how well you paid attention in art history.
They're celebrating the launch of their new book, "Graphic Design Referenced" with Design History and Practice: Mano-a-Mano -- a showdown pitting 16 worthy contestants who'll vie for a free registration to the 2010 HOW Conference. We haven't done anything like this before, but we're pretty certain it'll be great fun.
Go here for more information about the event, and sign up ... if you dare.

Sparkling Illustration
I got a self-promo email this morning from illustrator Jacqui Oakley, so I decided to check out her online portfolio. My favorite thing there is the packaging she did for Cuvée Catharine Rosé Brut from Henry of Pelham. The tube is not only beautiful, it's also designed to keep the wine cold for up to 4 hours and is reusable and recyclable. Plus the wine sounds like it would be really tasty. A wine with brightness, acidity, fine floral aromas and fruit aromas of
apple, citrus and apricot by the Chardonnay with notes of strawberry
and blackberry along with a delicious roundness on the palate from the
Pinot Noir.

Delicious Design
Last night, Korn Design, a brand strategy and design firm with offices in Boston and New York, won the 2009 James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurant Graphics for its branding campaign for The Corner Office Restaurant + Martini Bar in Denver, Colorado. Korn Design’s spirited branding for The Corner Office plays off the juxtaposition of work and play. The brand experience entices guests, offering everything that a day at the office does not—good times, great cocktails and outstanding food. Featuring slinky photography, energetic colors, and amusing copy, the print collateral creates a visual playground. The environment includes signature supergraphics, rubberband-wall art features, photographic restroom doors, and a 35 foot tall exterior sign serving as a beacon to all.
