Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes - happy birthday to her. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co
Such great story of how this was discovered and brilliant that we can now watch it.
Colossal@thisiscolossal.com · 5mo ago“Gugusse et l’Automate" is a 45-second slapstick film featuring a magician and a Pierrot-styled robot as they duke it out. It's a long-lost work by the iconic French director Georges Méliès.
Today I learned that Cambridge University has published high resolution photographs of their collection of Baskerville punches. Cue the revivals!
Sometime, when switching between Preview modes in some Adobe applications, you get some weird glitching. And I kind of like it. It sort of has a 90's aesthetic. #accidentalgraphics #90s
Earlier this year we designed the CD cover for Cadillac Record's re-release of Stan Tracey/Mike Osborne - Original. The inside cover and CD was designed to reflect the pink and black of the original LP label. We cleaned up the scratches, de-screened and colour matched the 50 year old original cover.
Here's the Winter Guide we did for the Angel Islington BID. Distributed to residents and available to pick up from local businesses. With lots of stuff to do in the area in the winter months. It was created to sit with the guide we designed last year. This year themed around the Christmas Panto.
I will die on that hill with you Viv. I have the same issue with people using the Norwegian letters æ,ø and å as ae, o and a. These are different letters and pronounced differently. So writing Scandi as Scåndi to make it more ‘Scandinavian’ just makes it read like Skondi to a Scandinavian.

Spotted the billboard we designed for the Islington Giving Winter Appeal while up in the Angel the other day. It is a great cause and you can support it here: islingtongiving.org.uk/islington-coming-together/ Design and illustration by frodedesign.com
When my wife told me Scandinavian languages don't have the letter 'R' I immediately thought: No way!
Every year we make a free-to-download-and-print-off-yourself colouring-in Advent Calendar. This year’s heavily features Bigfoots. Please share! Download it for free here… www.worldofmoose.com/pages/2025-b...
One of my favourite details in American Psycho, is that not only are they all Vice President of Mergers & Acquisitions, but they all spelled “aquisitions” wrong
When the world zigs, we zag. So while everyone is obsessed with using AI, we have created an icon using potato-printing. It is for a UK Tech network called, yep, Potato. It was launched yesterday and the members have already voted and named this character Maris. Lots more to come. www.potato.tech
A 2-pixel tall pixel font. (!) joefatula.com/twoslice.html (And a quiet celebration of redudancy built into languages.)
This is happening tonight. Poster by FRODE Design will be on sale to raise funds for the family. the100club.co.uk/clubevents/l...
Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.
I guess he went without us. :-( variety.com/2025/music/o...

Think we can safely say that summer is here. If you are in Angel and Islington you can now pick up their Summer Guide. Lots of great event happening there over the next few months. Design by FRODE Design.
A little while back we created the graphics for the Angel Islington recycling vans. Today I managed to take a snap of one in the ‘wild’.
These days it can be hard to know in which direction to go. But sometimes the most important thing is to just keep going. (spotted in Southwark Park - London) #fingerpostfriday

A few shots of the exhibition design we did recently for the Habitable Climes exhibition at Canada House. Including the design of banners and posters. The exhibition features beautiful work by Kristina Chan. So if you are in Trafalgar Square pop in and have a look. culturecanada.co.uk
A subtle but lovely detail at the SOIL exhibition at Somerset House is that the signage on the windows at the start and end is made of actual soil! And it is a great exhibition too.
First view of the poster and exhibition-design we did for the Habitable Climes exhibition at Canada House with beautiful artworks by Kristina Chan. So if you find yourself in Trafalgar Square it is well worth a visit. www.instagram.com/reel/DHG3k_b...

Great to join Rob Morgan and Muki Kulhan last night for a fireside chat about Rob's book about Storytelling for augmented realities. Hosted by the Augmented Reality Meetup. @mukiapproved.bsky.social
Nice to see all the (well deserved) positive response for this book by Rob Morgan. There has also been some lovely comments about the cover-illustration created by Frode Design. Which is nice
Christmas record haul, mainly done on the quality of the cover design. Merry Christmas everyone.
