Ford Broncos, Sketchbooks, & Web Design. It Must be Friday.

Ford Bronco

Most people will forever associate the Ford Bronco with either OJ Simpson or the Orange Mocha Frappuccino. Either way, the early-model Ford Bronco captures the wild American aesthetic like no other off-road vehicle has done since. The Need Supply Co. has a great write-up on the Ford Bronco with more eye-candy to go with it on their blog.

Looks like winter is finally here to stay in Utah. This last storm dumped over 40″ of snow throughout the Wasatch. Here’s an edit with some pre-season turns at Powder Mountain from the first storm of the season. Via Ski Utah

Nothing is more telling about a “creative type” (shudder) than their sketchbook. Great ideas almost always starts on paper whether the end-result is a song, website, or rocket ship. LayerVault got their hands on some pen and paper sketches from a few of the net’s finest web designers and have them posted on their fantastic blog.

Speaking of sketchbooks, UK illustrator Lucinda Rogers has a few pages from her sketchbook posted on her portfolio site. So many times artists only post sketches that look like finished products so it’s refreshing to see her rough, fluid lines.

And finally, here are a couple links for the type nerds out there. Firstly, County Map Title page Letterforms. Great resource for decorative type inspiration and reference. And secondly, a video with typographer/illustrator Seb Lester. That man’s got some skills.
