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.

Found via the nice folks at YCN.

That is outstanding. Love this really delicate handmade typography style, Marian Bantjes has been a favorite for a while.

It’s a kind off Si Scott meets paper craft, I really love her work, there’s a beautiful complex simplicity to her pieces, which takes the cut and paste technique to a new level.

It’s definitely got that Banjtes/Scott/Trouchet feel about itself and it seems like a logical progression. Hats-off to her for experimenting with paper and really making it her own.

Great to see someone using their hands and not rely on 3D rendered text…
Great work, thanks

Hands on — but done well, so many hands on attempts fail to reach this level of sophistication.

Some really tight work, very impressive and superbly crafted detail. Reminds me of Rob Ryan, not necessarily the same visual style but intricate paper work at it’s best. Definitely worth checking out http://www.misterrob.co.uk
