THIS LONG CENTURY

Posted by David Bushell

THIS LONG CENTURY is an ever-evolving collection of exclusive insights from artists, authors, filmmakers, musicians and cultural icons the world over. Bringing together such intimate work as sketchbooks, personal memorabilia, annotated typescripts, short essays, home movies and near impossible to find archival work, THIS LONG CENTURY serves as a direct line to the contributers themselves.

Fascinating and insightful would describe this website very well, pretentious would be the pessimists choice. Either way there's no denying that a rare glimpse into the mind of any artist can be hugely beneficial to your own work. Or you may just scoff. That's how art works right?

From a completely different web design point of view, I'm dazzled at how they've managed to use both Times New Roman and Courier to create an attractive, minimalist design.

Now that's magic.
