Tracing Paper
I was really thrilled to be one of the lucky 1,000 people who received a copy of Things Our Friends Have Written on the Internet 2008. As its name suggests, it’s a collection of stuff that has been written for the web, but collected together in a beautifully designed newspaper. I’ve got copy number 512.
Now, in a lovely twist that gets the format back on the Internet, there’s a Flickr group dedidated to photos of the newspapers. I’ve just added mine. Better still, you can see where else in the world the copies have landed up — so far, three continents and counting. (Photo below pinched from here and hat-tip for the story to I like).

There's an inconvenient truth about the marriage of good writing and design: it's so harmonious that it's easy to assume it must be a doddle. It isn't. The magic is in making people think it is.
