What the FFF?

Founded in 2005 by an ever growing group of young designers and vagabonds eager to collect and share the best design work they came across, FormFiftyFive soon became an international showcase of creative work.

Although the site was doing a great job at sparking creativity, we felt it could, and should, be even bigger and better. So we spent many moons working on a brand new FormFiftyFive, still high in eye (and brain) candy, but with a brand new look and lots of new features that dig even deeper into what’s happening in the design community.

We’ve also added more interactive elements on the site so people can exchange and store ideas more easily, encouraging collaboration and making the site more than just another design blog.

So have a look round, if you see something you love or hate be sure to comment, and drop us a line if there’s a juicy bit of creative gold you’d like to see on here.

Keep it real, the FFF team.

  2. Cheers Lee, had a bit of craic doing that monkey! The person who’s running the project is currently talking to a print sponsor, but I’m under the impression they’ll be available within the month.

    I’ll stick a link up to their site as soon as they let me know.

  3. Carrie Hodson-Walker who has devised the project and set the brief – Celebrate Water – is a student at the University of Lincoln. I not only run Dowling Design & Art Direction, but I’m also her tutor. As far as I know the print run will be very minimal and a site is being devised as we speak and should be live when she graduates next month. The whole collection of posters from the likes of Giles Revell, Matt Willey of Studio8, Rob Duncan of Pentagram SF and Dowling Design (ours is on our blog at http://www.dowlingdesign.com) will also be put up as our next show on our virtual on-line gallery called Show-off – www.youshow-off.com Cheers.

  4. Nice one John, I hadn’t realised you were Carrie’s tutor! Carrie mentioned some of those who had already submitted designs; as a big Jon Burgerman fan, I’ll be keeping an eye out for his in particular.

    look forward to seeing the entire collection. Cheers John.
