Crowdsourcing graphic design ??? Watch out!
Most designers don't like to hear about this ... but it's truly an up-and-coming revolution ... get used to it!
DesignCrowd, a crowdsourcing company based in Australia that specialises in helping businesses outsource or 'crowdsource' design projects, is pleased to announce the launch of DesignCrowd.ca -- a new crowdsourcing website for Canadian businesses and designers.

Bronislaw Zelek's Poster Exhibit
In 1968, an artist named Bronislaw Zelek debuted a film poster for Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" at the Warsaw Biennale. The poster featured a dark flutter of text of various fonts streaming from a howling, winged skull.
It's this subset of graphic design that is being celebrated this month at the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw, Poland. Full story : The Huffington Post See More

Design Scout: Decorating with chevrons
Looking for a way to spruce up your spaces this summer? Try playing with pattern.
Besides paint, injecting a peppy print into a room is one of the easiest ways to make what�s old look new (or new-ish) again. For a subtle chevron sighting, toss a throw on a sofa, place a bowl or lamp on a tabletop or replace a nondescript wastebasket with one that�s worth noting.
