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.

Thanks for posting, I’d not seen this before — what a lovely film! I liked the intimate, quiet feel, like having a chat with Graphic Thought Facility. How often do you get to do that? And what nice people they all are, not an air of pretence from some absolute legends. I could watch this kind of stuff all day.
There’s a credit at the end of the film, but I thought I’d mention it here too — the film is actually by the very talented video production company and consultancy, Lightweight Media. Well done guys! http://lightweightmedia.co.uk
