Flower Power

Anyone on here who used to follow the mighty Serif blog would have been much saddened by it being taken off the e-airwaves late last year. Never fear though, as it has been (sort of) resurrected by one of The Serif’s founders as the Fleuron.  (Bonus points if you understand the significance of its moniker. If not, go here and get learned)

Alongside the procrastination-tastic design, photography, typography and generally uber-creative posts on the site, it also has a creative opportunities section. Although currently pretty sparse, this was one feature (as I’m sure last year’s graphic design grads like myself will remember) played a very important part in the popularity of The Serif. Hopefully it’ll start padding out nicely for when the next crop come bursting out of their respective universities in a couple of months time!

Also rather excellently, you can help support the site (and get a wee bit of self promotion in on the home page) by contributing a 17×17 pixel icon to the supporters pixel wall on the home page. All you have to do is pop a link to the Fleuron on your site then send your icon over to the chaps, where they’ll happily oblige by sticking your little contribution to the insides of everyone’s screen (at least I think that’s how the internet works.)

Check-ch-check-ch-check-ch-check it owt.
