C / No. 53 / Mattus / Thinking of designing a sphere logo? Don’t.
A / No. 73 / Armin / I don’t typically fawn for in-depth, personal projects by students, but Gretchen Nash’s Dear Gretchen is amazing. I had the chance of seeing it at the Adobe Design Achievement Awards. The handmade paper graphs are just too much.

A / No. 63 / Armin / Very clever math formulas for everyday things like “Raisin = Grape + Time.” [Via Build]

C / No. 54 / Diane Faye Zerr / This article by a mom of a third grader wants schools to stop teaching handwriting. I’m a mom too, but I would not encourage my son to quit when times get tough. The comments are plenty, good and bad.
A / No. 66 / Armin / “Portraits of musicians made out of recycled cassette tape.” Easier Quip’d than done.
C / No. 57 / Kelly Smith / Inkd: The World’s First Market for Original Print Design has launched!
