I’m back with a huge load of photos!

Today is the day that designworkplan has come back with new and fresh postings again! For the last couple of months the postings were not frequently at designworkplan and all of my small bits and inspirational pieces moved to my Twitter feed, please follow me on your daily doses of design tweets.

The overall design of designworkplan has changed a bit and the header is set to the new contemporary typeface Axel by Erik Spiekermann. Over the next few weeks the theme will develop more and new functionalities will be added. Please let me know your findings and or suggestions on the recent design development here on designworkplan, thank you for your huge support!

Over the last couple of years I have collected many photos of design, type, signage and wayfinding objects, now I have decided to share my photostream with the readers of designworkplan as a reference guide to the work that we do. The photo collections will show you design from everyday life in the following topics:

• Environmental graphic design
• Road signs across Europe
• City wayfinding in Europe
• Airport signage
• City building type
• Tube wayfinding
• Information graphics
• Textures
• and much more

Below you will find some examples of the designworkplan photostream, I’ve put up collections to find the images of your interest but when searching via sets you will have a complete overview of the photos uploaded so far.
