I often spot a button image that’s been repurposed, or a layout that’s just a little bit too inspired by a previous design we’ve done. Generally, we find it really flattering and have a good laugh - if nothing else, it makes us feel that we’re probably doing something right if people are so eager to plagiarize. But earlier today a friend linked me to Mozilla’s new JetPack design and my jaw dropped. The worst part: Mozilla contacted Metalab about this, asking for a proposal, months ago and decided not to pursue the project. ]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:09:00 -0800 http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5703/metalab-goes-open-source http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5702/fling-geeks-shooting-guns-httpyfrogcom20k2nj ]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:37:00 -0800 http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5702/fling-geeks-shooting-guns-httpyfrogcom20k2nj http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5701/gleddy-gonna-go-shoot-me-some-guns-thats-what-texas-is-all-about ]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:32:00 -0800 http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5701/gleddy-gonna-go-shoot-me-some-guns-thats-what-texas-is-all-about http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5698/the-colosseo-letterpress-poster-is-cameron-molls-latest The Colosseo Letterpress poster is Cameron Moll’s latest, and most ambitious, poster design: …The artwork was handcrafted character by character, totaling roughly 250 hours of work from start to finish.

I was actually a part of the beta and didn’t like the thought of paying, but I recently revisited the service and I have to say: $25 a year for access to a great selection of fonts and easy management web app is a steal. My only complaint is that I can’t actually design with the fonts in Photoshop, as you’re not provided any sort of download. ]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:14:00 -0800 http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5695/how-are-you-enjoying-typekits-service-so-far http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5697/tlconnor-i-see-vodafonenz-have-improved-their-website-httpyfrogcomessa8p-httpyfrogcomj9617p-httpyfrogcomjarlqp ]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:08:00 -0800 http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5697/tlconnor-i-see-vodafonenz-have-improved-their-website-httpyfrogcomessa8p-httpyfrogcomj9617p-httpyfrogcomjarlqp http://pinchzoom.com/blog/items/view/5696/quotthe-truth-is-that-most-everyone-has-plenty-of-ideas-that-could-work-out-to-be-great-businesses-thequot “The truth is that most everyone has plenty of ideas that could work out to be great businesses.
