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.

We promise we’ll never pass on your details to those scoundrel spammers.

no. Are you brave and proud of your country?
I am.
Why do you not say where you are from?
All Americans are NOT like Bush.
Most (70%) are AGAINST him!
So stop saying stupid things, and
stop being ignorant.

You can’t blame people for being critical of the American public; you did vote Bush in. TWICE…
Don’t want to fan the flames, but to the rest of the world voting Bush in the second time illustrated some serious deficiencies in the collective American intellect.

Note, please, that voting Bush into office does not take a 100% in-favor vote, or even a staggering majority vote. He just has to have more.
While I sort of agree that voting him in the second time reflects poorly on those who did vote him in, remember that Bush’s popular vote in 2004 barely broke 50%. There is no “collective American intellect” to speak of, and lumping us all into the same group is infuriating. Are all people not part of the U.S./allies forces terrorists? I mean, there ARE alot of terrorists in Iraq, and they DO show up all the time. Of course that’s not true. Why is it right to apply that sort of thinking to Americans, then?

Well unfortunately we have idiots who will vote for their political party whether they believe in what the current person in office is doing is right or wrong because they don’t want the other party to win. It sucks but luckily our president can only have 2 terms. As I recall you Brits are right there with us so I wouldn’t get too far up on your pedestal.

I hope you all know that the reason you think Americans are stupid is because that’s what your media and government want you to think. Have you actually met some Americans? Do you write/talk to any? Why don’t you actually think that maybe things are not as simple as “Americans are stupid” and “Bush is a complete moron”. I don’t agree with the things that he does, but I know that there’s probably more to what’s going on then what is being told to us.
Anyway, I was/am to young to vote so you can’t blame me for him being in office! Even my parents didn’t vote for him. Technically, he didn’t even win the majority of the popular vote! He lucked out (or maybe it was planned out…) Please stop calling us morons! Do you think that if your government DIDN’T want you to think we’re all idiots that you would? Consider where you get all your information from and whether or not it’s passed through a filter of anti-American propaganda.

For me there are TERRORIST in Iraq and a lots of them specially 2 kinds… the ones wear a red, blue white flag with lots of stars in it, and then there are the other terrorist, actually mercenaries contracted by the first terrorist.
To the American government and army, navy, air force, and other who may concern: get the hell out of all the places your invading in the world, nobody asked you to be there in the first place, America is the only place who´s a menace to the world, and its the only country i´m really afraid of.
And about the American people i have no problem with them at all and i don’t think their dumb, not all, just miss informed, very miss informed.
But then again every country gets the government they deserve don´t they?

Are you freaking kidding me! Do you realize the history of the country you live in. Germany…talking about countries invading! Your country started to f***ing wars by there lonesome. And then we came in and kicked your sorry little ass… oh and afterward..what did America do? We helped rebuild your god forsaken country. And now, its one of the great economic powers in the world, along with japan… we may f*** things up sometimes but we sure as hell know how to fix them in the end!

Note Bush was not such a terrible leader in his first term – He made a few iffy decisions, but his scraping a second term does not immediately make all Americans stupid.

No, we did not vote Bush into office twice. There have been lots and lots of articles here in America about how voting machines were rigged, about how some votes weren’t counted, about how some people were illegally prevented from voting. We didn’t even vote him in once – he stole the election both times.
However, there are still an incredible number of frighteningly stupid people over here who DID vote for him. Our collective gene pool is getting dumber and dumber. Personally, I’m becoming an expatriate as soon as I can swing it – I can’t stand most of my fellow Americans.

How does that go? “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
I don’t care what country you’re from – you simply can’t speak knowledgeably about the goings-on of other countries you haven’t lived in. Not to mention the fact that every single country has made quite regrettable decisions at several points in each of their pasts (and in some cases, present).
None of you know for sure what other countries want, need, or ask for. The US, while with a president that makes some bad choices, has still been requested to help out in many countries around the world. Then, when the time comes to “pay the piper”, nobody antes up! That’s why the majority of our national debt is actually owed to us by other countries around the world!
None of you, none of your people, none of your leaders, and none of your countries are without sin. So shut up.

Thank you Steve.
More importantly, we need to remember sin exists because of humanities ignorance regarding oneness.
On another note, im glad most of us would prefer to befriend China… or maybe its because we are scared shitless of them.
Well we should be, but not for any rational reason. Only because we are wasting money all over the world while the Euro gains popularity and China becomes more and more like a free economy. Looks like they might beat us at our own capitalistic game.
And the Russian leaders seem to be itching. No, make that drooling over the prospect of another fallen civilization.
What did we do after Vietnam? Sure as hell didn’t learn our lesson, thats for sure.
Also, being American I will say there is a lot of ignorance in America, but its changing slowly. Linux is gaining popularity.
Right? Maybe? I can only hope.

I live in the grand old US of A and I cannot be more unhappy with my country. I do not consider myself patriotic, in fact I am deeply ashamed that I was born here. If Canada wasn’t so damn cold I would move there in a heartbeat. I deplore the way this country is run and the way our people view our relationship with the world. The war in Afganistan was morally warranted, but the reasons INITIALLY given (WMD’s) for invading Iraq were in no way justifiable. We percieve ourselves as the policemen of the world, and while we may have the moral high ground, it sets a bad precedent for us to invade other countries simply because our morality says so. Also, if we posess WMD’s what right do we have to atttack other countries for posessing them. As Matthew 7:5 states “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” Before we go disarming other nations, we ourselves should disarm.
Thank you for reading my rant,

I don’t blame the American people for George Bush, he didn’t even reach the popular vote in the first election.
American people are very decent people. It’s just unfortunate their country is ruled by greed and disconcert by a certain few. Everyone wants to make a living, but not many people are shamelessly willing to take food out of the mouths of others, to be the richest. There are too many American businessmen who are, and will pay anyone for this. Too much of US policy is decided by what money is paid.

A patriot is anyone arrogant enough to think their country is the best for simply having been randomly born in to it.
