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.

That this is the third posting on this page of designers looking for work is a worry.

Tell me about it. I’m going for jobs and being told that the guys they’ve seen already have 10+ years experience on me.

Completely agree – the website totally put me off straight away, but luckily I spotted something that I liked, and decided to look at his portfolio. Very nice work.
