This is just photographs taken of type in and on books as far as I can see. Nice.

— Vintage type

This is really just random stuff I found yesterday whilst scrabbling around the interweb looking at vintage type. Granted, it is an odd selection, but each is nice in its own way.

— Beattie McGuinness Bungay

I simple idea, really well executed. The Information Blanket, a really useful tool in the fight against infant mortality in Uganda. Nice little website too.

I was just snooping around the net and bumped into this. So nice. Must draw more type.

— Vintage Travel Posters

A great collection of posters on view at Life.com. I love the message, 'So near yet so foreign'. Sorry about the LIFE logo, can't be helped.

— Ideas for home decorating

Highly unlikely that this will become a regular feature of this blog, but I just liked the idea of the enormous typographic message at the bottom of the bed. I can think of others but I won't go into it here. Please make suggestions at your leisure.

This site may well be useful for quite a few people I know... and maybe some I don't.

— Endeavour

An amazing photo of the launch of space shuttle Endeavour,  but not by a professional photographer. Instead this one was taken by a passenger onboard a flight to Palm Beach, on an iPhone.

This made me smile.

— East End Prints

Some very tempting prints over at East End Prints. These are from a collection of prints of old type, chosen by Wayne Hemingway.

— Philip Roth — recommended reading

He has just won the International Man Booker prize so it is with great timing that I recommend this book. A visceral, grinding tale of American life and identity. Grippingly told, brilliantly written.

— BTG Poster Series

Inspired by the International Style, Letraset catalogues and cassette tape covers. Simple graphic loveliness.

When things are good, start selling yourself, when things are bad, keep quiet, pray for the phone to ring.

— Christopher P Wood

— Chad Hagen

I once had an illustration published in the same magazine as this guy. I wish I hadn't actually because his work was fantastic and showed me up a bit. He is a Minneapolis-based artist, designer, illustrator. Forever producing fresh, exciting and different work.

— The Future — Nice film poster of the week.

I have no idea if I will be able to post a decent film poster every week but this one I like. The film looks interesting too.

I came to Helmo through some different work I found in the Data Flow book but upon exploring their website I found so much great work that I just had to post some here.
