Hi, my name is Phil Bowell and I'm a graphic designer currently living in Berkshire, England. This is my the little corner of the internet I call home, I link to bits of interest, write when I can and always enjoy when people say hello!

Am Fleischmarkt 1 on Identity Designed

I love the con­trast in this pro­ject. Old and new. Serif and sans-serif. It’s clean, sens­it­ive and I wish I’d designed it.

Are Web Fonts Ready for Prime Time?

Excel­lent art­icle from Pat about the appro­pri­ate­ness of using @font-face to load new fonts on websites.

Being a Mac user it’s easy to for­get not every­one has the same clean ren­der­ing of fonts as I do, and Pat brings a great reminder that I can’t just go with what I see. Essen­tially he raises a great point. Just because we can use any font we’d like, doesn’t mean we should.
