Always worth a visit — Jake Dow-Smiths (of Triangle Triangle fame) graphic design venture, along with Sam Williams and Harry Farrell (whom you should follow on Tumblr). I usually loathe draggable items on portfolio sites, but their latest iteration nails the concept.

If you are remotely interested in men’s fashion, watch this showcase of Damir Domas autumn/winter collection for 2011.

The portfolio of photographer Katharina Poblotzki shows a rare richness and diversity, switching between styles effortlessly. I am deeply impressed (and pleasantly surprised to spot my old pal Johannes Mayer aka. The Late Call in her body of work). Also note this photograph.

On the subject of type
Before the year shifted from 2010 to 2011, I took advantage of the holiday season to redesign the look of this periodical to reflect my current visual interests and tastes. I will not go into detail concerning my intentions any further, but I would like to take the opportunity to talk about Fracmetrica, the typeface used in the masthead.
