Have You ffffound Designspiration.net Yet?

by Victor Ginsburg Muller March 4, 2011

You already know about ffffound.com. Yes it's one of the best design sites in the world, but it has huge flaws, like no search capability or tags (basically everything you take for granted on a modern website). Well now meet Designspiration.net by wanken. It doesn't have ffffound's random weird images but it does have a [...]

Back to Grunge?

by Victor Ginsburg Muller February 1, 2011

For the sake of argument, let's say that there are only three "styles" of design. I like to call them "Swiss-style," "Grunge," and "Book." And from my perspective, they seem to follow each other cyclically like clockwork, every 6 years or so. Most of my childhood design was in Grunge, (graffiti, techno-fonts, broken letters, etc.) [...]

The Future of Visual Communication

by Victor Ginsburg Muller October 26, 2010

I’ve thought a lot about visual communication this week, and I’ve come to the (almost spiritual) realization that its future is neither in print (see my first blog post) nor in website form. "The cloud" will be a huge part of it, but not in the form of websites displayed in various browsers but as [...]

Dealing with Fussy Clients

by Victor Ginsburg Muller September 13, 2010

One of the most important skills of being a freelance designer is dealing with clients, explaining why they need you, and what exactly it is that you do. Some clients have no idea how designers get to an idea or how long it takes to come up with a solution—I would be a rich man [...]

Everywhere I look, a concept seems to be repeating itself: The biggest brands have a horrible sense of design, and the better-looking brands are far behind in views and/or customers. Every day, an alarmingly high number of people choose YouTube over Vimeo, Windows over MacOS10, and Explorer over, well, any other browser. And let’s not [...]

Print Design Is a Lesser Form of Design

by Victor Ginsburg Muller July 18, 2010

I thought that headline might get your attention. Don’t get me wrong; I love to look at print design, but I much prefer working on the digital side of things. Mostly that’s because designing for print sometimes leaves me feeling trapped creating static, even passive, layouts. Digital design, on the other hand, feels like a [...]
