Yesterday I was shown this piece of self promotion from Christopher Doyle, definitely one of those “I wish I thought of that moments”. Don’t know if I’d have stripped to my pants right enough.

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.

Excellent, and even if it is influenced by the Lief Parsons piece, imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
Hats off (IF his guide lines allow the use of Hats?) to him and Lief for making themselves stand out in the crowd.
Wish I had thought of the idea!

This is a great example of the use of text in photography, I didn\’t overpower the content but enhances it. I love the play contradictions. Interesting that many people assume that something physical can define their \"identity.\" The essence of who you are can\’t possibly dwell there.
