Dracula Vs. Eisenstein - A Graphic Design & Art History Blog
I like where Peter is going with Dracula Vs. Eisenstein: Graphic Design & Art History. It’s similar to Charley’s lines and colors, but leans more towards the graphic side.
And when I think about it, I haven’t found enough quality blogs headed that way. Have you?
His design isn’t lacking either. Just check out the search me feed you box. The extra details are a nice touch. Agreed?
Nor are Peter’s posts short of detail. In A Brief Ode To Letterpress he talks about the heart-stopping Briar Press letterpress community. Man, I have GOT to find a word to replace “WOW”. Seriously.
And no, I did not know about designateonline.com (discovered in his blogroll under the community heading).
Nor did I know all about Yugo Nakamura. Not about Yugo’s extreme green Ecotonoha or his Eye Project (Sigh. Am I the last to know?)
Yugo P, as he is also known, is a brilliant web designer who has researched and developed both experimental and consumer projects dealing mainly with interactivity. I regularly follow him on one of his personal projects FFFFOUND!
But I did know about Yugo P’s industrial clock from years back. And I already knew joining FFFFOUND! is no longer an available option.
And after writing through to here, I now know enough to have Dracula Vs. Eisenstein in my rss feed.
No joke, I do have a lot in the blogroll. But go ahead and send more either in the comments or via my contact page. ESPECIALLY if they keep up with the latest in the design industry (just like DvsE). Yes, please. Go ahead, FEED me.

Thanks, Cat! When so much time is spent on getting that one thing to line up just right, its nice to know someone notices.
And thanks for continuing to find those new blogs out there so that we have something fresh to look at every day.

Hi Peter, it was my pleasure. And a BIG thanks goes back to you for being so patient with me. There’s a good side in all of this actually - I’m writing more extensive features since I got back. New design + New aim = hopefully a better DWB.
