It's Nice

Probably the best design/illustration/photography etc link website out there.

It's Nice That.

and a wee bonus: If like me you miss trends like theres no tommorow check out fffound Lot's of ace stuff on there....

Updates

Just uploaded most of the portfolio. Theres still some unfinished bits and you'll probably find some ipsum lorem in there. As of now Carn to Cove, Eight, Fine Grime, FXU, Super Numbers Thinking Differently and Rawplug are up. The others will follow as soon as possible.

We are also working on multiple pages for each project so I imagine the portfolio will grow over the next couple of weeks.

Red Bull Music

If you like music but want to know a bit more behind the artists and the music industry, you might want to check out the Red Bull Music Academy Lectures. (Especially the ?uestlove one) Good to listen to whilst working I find.

Watch them via the website or subscribe via iTunes podcasts.

(the Website videos includes music the lecturers/artist play which is edited out on the podcasts)

Well worth a listen.

Walls With Stuff Written On

For a quick bit of inspirational thinking, look to the streets. I love looking at graffiti like this - some of the driest humour you'll find anywhere.

There's loads and loads to get through too: the writing is on the wall.

19th Century Shipping Posters

Well the title say is all really, although technically they are 19th Century clipper trading cards advertising voyages, not posters. I really wanted to write that they were like 'olden day' Top Trumps, but they aren't.

Some lovely typography and illustrations in amongst the set.

Have a browse: 19th Century Shipping Posters

Soup 3.0

This is it, the dynamic new future of soup... watch this space for some big new advances. Huge respect to Nath for wrestling with this beast and trying to create a genuine improvement in reshaping of how this online community of designers works.

Diamonds!

Like Electro? Excellent - Run Seven (aka Mike from Soup) has released a rather exceptional Ep called Diamonds on Kick/Hat/Clap. I am not going to describe it because it's but a click away!

Hello There

Welcome to the latest incarnation of the Soup Design website. It's still very much a work in-progress, no portfolio etc - so there may well be some tweaks and re adjustments made to the site over the next few weeks, so bare with us, it'll be worth it.
