Offset

Came across a brilliant set of videos from Offset which is a 3 day creative conference. These videos are from 2009- expect the 2010 one shortly. But the line up is brilliant and it's a great resource- all are good but I am a massive fan of the Oliver Jeffers, David Shrigley, Chip Kidd, Harry Pearce and Anthony Burrill talks. All excellent.

Nice Website

rachel_bloch Lovely java (I think) based website from illustrator Rachel Bloch. It wouldn't suit for more project based designers as it's tricky to tell a clear story with this type of site but I think it's a great way for illustrators and probably photographers to show work. It lends the single items an objecty quality which I really like. I'm also a big fan of going to the extremities of the site and 'discovering' almost hidden items. Great Stuff. Link: here.
