Ok, no question about what colours and style we ought to follow the next months: Its New Rave with neon colours and a happy mix of the 80s and 90s rave. Klaxons sing the soundtrack well, BUT I think that somehow things become so similar. Just have a look at the screenshots of the Norwegian musicfestivals websites:

Øya:

Quart:
Hove (not really the same colorscheme, but quite similar freaky illustration style to Øya):
Oh, and if I have to choose festival: Hove has by far the best line-up. At least for my liking. Anyone want to join me!?

The German magazine Spiegel has some good design/photo collection. Check it out here:

This site is great for creating favicons:

The best is to create a square image from before, so you place your image correctly.

Went to Oboy Oboy, clubconcept in Oslo, on saturday. That was excelent! Snuten played live and Timbuktu played som records too. Their website is a bit outdated, but check out their funky flyers!

This Tarantino movie looks really cool! The art department have done a really good job with the trailer and especially the website. Have never seen a site with so much info and extras. Closest I come is “V for Vendetta”, which also have great design.

The “Make your own trailer” of Grindhouse is excelent (seen on the left):

Like me, I suppose there are may out there that mainly work on one specific project at the time. And usually that means one default font too. Though Adobe, like Microsoft, love Times New Roman. So here’s how to change the default font in InDesign:

You can make any active font the default font in the document by first making sure that’s nothing’s selected in your document (Command-Shift-A/Ctrl-Shift-A), then choosing the font you want from the Type > Font submenu or in the Character palette. All new text frames you create from then on in the document will use your new default font. If you change the default font without any documents open, that will be your new default font for all new InDesign documents you create.

This works for all other formatting defaults too!
