site I like: design freebies
15. July 2008


7-14 free design.jpg

Oh man. I love Summer over at Design is Mine. I always feel very akin to bloggers that are my age and have impeccable taste (like me! just kidding).

She just launched this sideblog to Design is Mine. It’s called Free Design and is full of, well, free design. From great desktop wallpaper to little art projects and stationary, there’s great things already in this blog and I’m sure Summer will find more.

Free Design is a side page of my main weblog Design is Mine. It was created because I suddenly realized that somebody had to weed through all the bad freebies on the internet and find the ones that are inspiring, creative, and generally well designed, and that person should be me.

quick link: american apparel doesn’t fit most people
27. June 2008


This is an old link, but the gals over at Jezebel tried on a bunch of stuff at AA in January, to prove that it isn’t for real people.

See the video jezebel made about american apparel
