A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
Capitol Couture
The Hunger Games is back on Tumblr with their latest refresh of the Capitol Couture blog. Hands down this is one of the most beautiful and flawlessly executed themes I have seen a brand create for Tumblr. Brands and agencies take note, this is how it should be done.
Anyone know what agency is behind the creation of this campaign?

I REALLY love these animations.
Tumblr nails the details like this better than any other platform their size.
I want to introduce you to your brother from another mother—another group of humans that, like you, is quite under-appreciated: the type designer. Type designers and web designers have an amazing amount in common, that’s why it’s super wonderful that they’ve been collaborating more lately. Web designers are pumped that they can use more than a handful of fonts on the internet, and type designers are pumped that this new group of people using their fonts actually know how to use computers.

Designer Janna Hagan put together a great list of unique repeatable backgrounds. This is a great resource for anyone looking to add a background image to one of our Style Hatch Tumblr themes.
David always obsessed over his newest ideas, features, and designs until they were completely polished and ready to go. He’s a workaholic — he truly lives and breathes Tumblr. I’ve never even seen him show any desire to work on a side project. David is all Tumblr, all the time. […]
We — internet users, creative people, publishers, socializers — will be much better served if David can focus on his product’s features, design, and messaging instead of worrying about server architecture and raising more money.
This is why I’m optimistic about the Yahoo acquisition.
Marco Arment skillfully articulates the early days of Tumblr and David Karp’s unrelenting focus on Tumblr. Tumblr has very bright days ahead.
