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.

Pretty flashy website here. Some of the portfolio pieces aren’t amazing in my opinion. But seems a pretty self indulgent portfolio site (and why not!?). Anyone with a section on their site entitled “mad skills” obviously fancies themselves a bit.

I used to like FFF when it was about good design and not having a go at others work.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion Iain! FFF is still about good design, Cookie just had something in his eye and couldn’t see straight today

The phrase “mad skills” should be used more often… do you think we can get a button for wordpress that let’s you insert it all over the place? Maybe even some crazy styles too – it could be all part of the new redesign. Fo shizal!

Oh man, I hate idealistic folk who are always preaching about how should be patting each other on the back, then they walk down the street slagging everyone off at work. Hypocrites, the lot of ‘em.
