I've been looking into things like this for a while for a certain project in mind. This is quite brilliant with it being standards-compliant and its simplicity of customization. Anyone else know of anything similar?

Enjoy and Learn.

These things are designs of the past. Lets move on to 2010 and create unique designs that don't throw us in with a bunch of similar ones. It will be better for your brand and you!

Inspiration: Vanessa Lam

I gave this info-graphic zine to a friend of mine for Christmas. I found it to be a lovely experiment with sound design and a progressive method of conveyance. Here is what she says about it and photos from her website:

Society for Scientific Inquiry of Paranormal Atmospheric and Cosmic Anomalies

An infographic zine about UFOs, inspired by scientific journals and looney ufologists alike. Full of hard data and statistics, glitches, and conspiracies. 8" x 10.5", 48 pages, printed on newsprint.
