Post to FFFFOUND!

ffffound

I’ve read a lot of critical debate over ffffound both on the web and in the likes of Creative Review and its ilk recently; a sign of its blooming popularity no doubt. I have to disagree though, i think ffffound is a fantastic resource and has become one of my most trusted inspiration sources. With precipitation has come opportunity. As long as we’re all discovering, we’re all growing. Lest we forget that the medium is here to enable everyone to publish anything. We don’t need people filters. My ffffound.

    I’d have to agree with you Tim. ffffound is cool in every way… except one. Isn’t it about time they opened it up now? Unless you’ve got an invite snuck away somewhere you can send my way?

  2. Tim Jarvis says:

    Hey Buddy! I know what you mean and my invites went long, long ago. That said if i come past one i’ll send it your way. The only issue in really opening it up is that it becomes so rapid and too bloated to difficult to get a positive experience from – it would, in effect, only be a closed image bookmarking experience for every member as you’d not really be able to get any worth out of the streams. Each member only seems to get 2 invites these days, i’d be intrigued to know just how many active members there are nowadays.

    ffffound is always the first thing I see when I go online. Hope to get invited somehow…

Brunswicker


I just want to quickly illustrate Mark Brunswicker’s work on The Vision Paper. Great use of type over imagery and really messing about with the grid creates a sophisticated layout where the editorial appears to float over the page. At once constrained, but delightfully capricious.

Ben Jeffery

Leeds-based graphic designer Ben Jeffery has an incredible eye for layout and has recently worked with Rankin on his newest magazine project The Hunger. In all of his projects you’ll find a well considered, incredibly tight presentation that effortlessly communicates the editorial in as minimal and achingly sharp method as i think its possible to produce.

Riitta Paivalainen

Riitta produces ghostly psuedo-sculptures by wrapping linens around, and arranging clothing in, trees and scrub. By presenting her work as photographs she can use the environment she’s working with as part of her piece, giving her sculptures an environment within which to live; suggesting the passing passage of time and a record of events that have already happened.

Monolith 2

This beautiful photo was shot by James Cambourne at Saunton, between Exmoor and Dartmoor on the coast. The original has been beautifully graded down and is presented in very wide 2.35:1 format. Taking the original photo, and another from the same set to work into the Monolith’s reflection, i’ve kept faithful to James’ grade but have had to slightly increase the height to display the Monolith fully.
