Today we’re pleased to announced our transition from private to public beta. All pages on Letterboxd are now publicly visible (except for those deemed private by their owners), and all new users are able to send invitations to friends immediately following sign up.
We are stoked to finally let Letterboxd loose into the wild — now everyone can see the great reviews and lists that our amazing beta users have been adding. Read more about the public beta launch here. The site will remain invite-only for a time yet, but if you want a beta code you can register here — we will be sending out invitations fairly regularly (or hit up Twitter for one — there are heaps around)
The Svpply iPhone app is here!
We know a lot of you have been waiting for this, so we’re excited to announce that our new Svpply iPhone app is available for download in the App store.
This is a really lovely piece of work, designed (I believe) by Allan Yu. A lot of thought has gone into the interactions and UI for this, and it’s one of the most refreshing apps I’ve used in a while. If you’re using Svpply at all (even if only occasionally, like myself) you’d be doing yourself a service by installing the free app.
Talking about making things by hand, I was pleasantly surprised to see photos of local coffee company Supreme featured on The Selby, containing a picture of this custom machine built by another friend of mine, Paul Glover. If you’re in Melbourne and want a coffee machine built, he’s the man to talk to.
The wooden handles on this machine were also crafted by Glenn Maxwell. I have some talented friends.
The Fighter is complete. More awesome photos to follow.
My friend Glenn made this with his bare hands. If you’re in the market for a custom guitar or bass you should get in touch with him. I had the pleasure of playing this a bit the other night, and it feels great — it’s like a slimmer, lighter version of a 335.
This makes me feel physically ill.
Very seldom to pictures of high places make me feel any vertigo, but this one somehow bucked the trend. Yikes.
I just found a nice little interview with my favourite film poster designer, Neil Kellerhouse. If you’re not familiar with his work, I’ve attached a selection of his posters above.
“Little”, by Gentlemen.
A twilight tune full of promises, for summer strolls in the park.
Just a little something we made for you.
Modern Pictograms, from the Design Office, is a free font containing common icons and symbols. Great for use when designing, or you can embed them in your website using @font-face. (via kentson » mjut)
Offscreen is a quarterly print magazine built around 8 lengthy interviews with digital creators. It aims to tell “the less obvious human stories of creativity, passion and hard work that hide behind every interface”, and from the video it looks & sounds fantastic.
They are raising funds on Kickstarter and only have 3 days to go — so if this sounds like your cup of tea, head over and make a pledge.
The first issue already sounds great, with the contributions lined up from: Andrew Wilkinson, Lisa Bettany, Ji Lee, Dan Cederholm, Ryan Singer, Benjamin de Cock, Drew Wilson, Blake Whitman, Rob Morris, Tim van Damme, Sam Brown, and more…
The Movie Title Stills Collection is an amazing collection maintained by Christian Annyas — a fantastic resource for anyone interested in film and/or typography. Shown here is a title by Saul Bass for Preminger: Anatomy of a Filmmaker. (via Type Division)
