50 and 50
50 designers got together to illustrate their state’s motto as a “new way of looking at our country”. I love! Go find your state here.

maps
I love these old school (in feeling, they are actually new in content) city info maps designed by Herb Lester Associates. They are so lovely, not to mention they are maps of some pretty wonderful places. I’ve always wanted to visit London, anyone want to come with?!

Lost Type Co-Op
Lost Type. I love this site, download really great typefaces: pay what you can/want for them. (I hope you pay something because these designers are talented and if you are planning on using their work you should compensate them!) Lost Type doesn’t take a cut from the sale of any typefaces, all funds go directly to the designers. I love these great type faces. I am especially in love with Deming by Mike Fortress right now. What a great resource!
* Just an FYI some of the typeface files are .ttf’s (meaning they will work in your font library, some are .ai or .eps files so they will need to be placed into documents like an old school type would on a press i.e. you’ll need advanced program such as Adobe Illustrator to open them in/use them)
