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.

Inspiration / Tim Flach

Tim Flach/ Lips

 

I’m a big fan of Tim Flach, and Departures were lucky enough to work with him a couple of years back for Y Sioe (The Royal Welsh Show). He’s most famous for his animal portraits but the detail in this shot is also amazing.

  4. I love how the dialogue of his work screams how one in the same we truly are. The animal portraits reads as if you where looking at human portraits. He gave them a dignity and beauty that leaves one in utter awe of the magnitude and infinity of life.
