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.

  6. Hmm, don’t think the times are any harder in Scotland than elsewhere? I know many agencies that are doing well in Glasgow at the minute.

  7. I feel really really sorry for the designers that’ll be out of a job because of this. Kenny Allen really freshened-up their output and it’s a damn shame to see them go under, especially when their recent work has been so shit hot!

  8. I always thought this Drum story from June was a little unsettling:

  9. Yeah, never a good sign, although plenty of companies cut the cloth and continue. I think there was actually about four people who left the company around the same time, not sure if it was reported in The Drum.

  10. Yeah no doubt we’ll see an re-incarnation of sorts over the coming weeks and months. Sorry to hear that for David and the rest though.

  11. Seems like they do some pretty decent and stylish work there.
    Shame they can’t continue.

  12. Was Burvo working with them Jeff? That is bad news. I was only talking about them yesterday – such a strong body of work.

  13. Don’t you worry about any of the designers at the Hub they have things in the pipeline… keep your eyes and ears open as Kenny Allan has already started his own company.

  14. I trust your friends at FFF will be the first to know of any exciting developments. The Drum is so passé. ;)

  16. Haha, the Drum has become quite pointless really? Especially the printed version, which is just a reprint of what’s on the site but a week old.

  17. To be fair, I think its the best place to get regional industry news. Where else is there to look?

  20. Agree the printed Drum is a bit pointless these days – particularly given the price. Harumph!

    Shame about Hub – but design firms never disappear, they just get recycled. Or something like that.

  21. that’s a right shame. Especially when there are so many agencies out there doing rubbish and probably making more money.
