Submitted by our readers and Quip’d by UnderConsideration
Quipsologies is a daily stream — during the work week, we must rest after all — of bite-sized posts chronicling the most curious, creative, and notable projects, stories, and events of the graphic design industry. The majority of the Quips come from us, Armin and Bryony, while regular contributors and reader submissions fill in the rest of the content.
Every month is a new volume, and every volume starts with Quip No. 1. There is no hardcore philosophy about this structure, it all started in 2005 with the original Vol. 1 when Quipsologies were housed within the now retired, Speak Up. After 93 weeks, worth 28 volumes, we launched Quipsologies as a spin-off from Speak Up in January of 2007, resetting the volume counter back to 1. After almost three years we thought we could push Quipsologies a little bit more and this incarnation picks up on Vol. 45, September 2010.
You can recommend Quips through the handy form to the left and if you feel like you would like to contribute on a regular basis we are always looking for Quipsologists.
