This semester I will be following the blog at: http://acejet170.typepad.com. The author is an English graphic designer who works in Belfast implementing brands and corporate IDs. The blog focuses on found design: objects found in every-day life that have unique designs. Discussion of typography is prominent; every week there is a post called Found Type Friday. Images of typography found in various locations (old books, packaging, or even toilet paper roles) are discussed.
One recent post has some fun visuals. The author examines the book covers of the Penguin Poets books, all of which are mainly comprised of a colorful pattern. Perhaps some of them can serve as inspiration for future design projects. The designs are from the first half of the 20th century, so if you're looking for some patterns/trends from these decades these images will be fun for you to explore. Check them out at: http://acejet170.typepad.com/foundthings/penguin_poets/index.html.
