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.

Just a note to let the numerous FFF’ers working out of Scotland know, that Glasgow and Birmingham–based agency, D8, have joined up with Apple to give a talk at the laters’ flagship store on Buchanan St, Glasgow.
If anyone would like to pay a visit, just be there at 6pm, Thursday 10 December. Also note: there is a high possibility of designy-types drinking beer afterwards…

I’m definitely going to try to make this. Hopefully I’ll be able to get off work slightly early and drive into town.

Really enjoyed it last night. Thanks to Adrian for the talk and to the lovely barmaid who kept a good few of us topped-up at the bar afterwards.

Just to clarify. Some might think WOOF! = Dog. Quite the opposite

‘Woof’ is definitely aimed in the barmaid’s direction. In acknowledgement of her exquisite beauty — and excellent service — of course.
