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.

Inspiration / 2500!

fff-preview-31

We’ve just pasted 2500 posts of inspirational goodness on FFF! To celebrate we thought we’d give our loyal readers a sneaky preview of our new site, which Alex is working tirelessly on. We’re hoping for to launch the new site beginning of June.

I won’t get into to much detail about all the new features… ok a little taster won’t harm anyone. The random header images are gone and will be replaced with commissioned artwork that influence the colour of the site. So in case of Scott Balmer’s illustration in the visual the site will be red on dark grey. For the first month we’ve given the space exclusively to TOY.

That will have to do for now. You’ll just have to be patient! Would be great to hear your first impressions.

Got to thanks our 32 editors at this point, couldn’t have reached 2500 without you guys!!!
