Just before the holiday I gave myself the challenge to design the 2 volumes of the THREE ebooks which present what has been published on this blog from july to december 2013. And I go even further, doing a third eBook only about identity with 100 selected projects ! This eBook is only available by donation, to support this blog ! 
 

one hundred identity : name your price !

ebooks-mrcup-2-02
Last year, I propose you to make donation to support the blog and get the 113/577 ebook which present "the best of 2012" (now available here). I can not do that this year as what is present on the blog is now available in the THREE eBooks. So I guess identity was the best option ! I select not less than 100 projects, published here since 2011 !

Why do I ask for support ?

When I started graphic-exchange in 2006, my goal was to "classify" my inspiration and share it with others. With 2 millions visists in 2013 (THANKS !), this blog became a big part of my life and change my way to do my work. I spend about 2-3 hours per day on average to find subjects look "Submissions" respond to emails...

 

On the other hand. I hear often "I use your site in my design school, our teacher was using it as reference" or "I work with many agencies in London and all look at your site". This blog generates contacts, and therefore buisness offers for those who are published. And I am really please with that, inspiring people and making things happening is so rewarding.

 

But I want to talk about a product, a shop, or anything just because I like it and I want to share it with you, not because it is part of a communications plan. That's the reason why there are no advertising on this blog. Of course, the blog helps me to sell products I design, as well as being found by clients, but I just want to dedicate as much time as possible to it.

 

I therefore propose to be the sponsors of this project, you, who are a part of it. Just like if you pay for you design magazine... Anything you can give is helpfull and show some respect. Thank you.

Franklin Mill new collection

posted in Design  at 4.44 PM from Home ! Maruéjols Les Gardons (near Alès / Nîmes / Uzès) / France
I personaly think chalk design is over used lately (seen it at McDonald, after Starbucks, that's a sign...), but it is now or never and Franklin Mill does it very well on this new line of products.

I wanted to see the sea for several months, and even if it is only an hour's drive from our house, I had not found the time. It is a perfect landscape to begin a year : immense extent, no limits, bad weather from one side but the sun on the other !
 
I want to thank you, you who come from time to time or can not start your day without a ride on this site, you who follow me for 8 years or who had discovered this site in 2013 !
 
Obviously, I have dozens of projects in mind and most important coming in a few days: 3 ebooks ! I was left on 2 and then finally in the running, I made a third ! Shop sales also arrive on January 08 ( "official" day of winter sales in France ) . Then ... new posters , and many other things ! And and as always, my selection of projects to let your 2014 being inspired and creative !
