So I’m reading Speak Up, one of the best design forums around, when I run across a site called Six°, a zine created by a group of North Carolina State design students. I click on the current multimedia issue, and I see a familiar name: Tyler Galloway, a former KC resident.
Tyler is currently completing his Master’s Degree at NC State, with plans return to KC and teach at the Kansas City Art Insitute.
It’s a small, small world.
I needed to send a 50Mb file to a vendor recently. In the past, the lowest-hassle (but slowest) solution was to burn a disc and drop it in the mail. I’ve heard of services that allow you to email large files online, so it seemed like the perfect time to try DropSend. I’m a believer. It’s simple—I had an account set up in less than a minute. It’s fast—I uploaded a 50Mb file in a little over a minute. I was automatically notified when the vendor downloaded the file. Best of all, it didn’t cost me a dime (although I’d happily pay for the service). Did I mention the free gifts?
DropSend offers different levels of pricing for their service, from free to $19 for power users.
If you need to send or store large files online, this is the place.
flow14 is based in Kansas City and I’m constantly impressed by the quality of design and advertising work found in this town. So from time to time I’ll be highlighting some of my favorite local sites.
There’s no better place to begin than American Copywriter — a blog from the fine folks at Sullivan Higdon & Sink (who just launched a new site themselves). The highlight of the site is the American Copywriter podcast put on (nearly) every week by John January and Tug McTighe. They do a fantastic job covering advertising, pop culture, and so much more. Don’t miss it.
We launched the new and improved flow14 today. We’ve been getting a lot of font-centric traffic for the past few months, so we’ve moved our free fonts to the forefront and even added a font for sale.
Luke Chueh – a little dark humor plus cute characters equals great illustrations.
