The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

— Hipster Animal Beards
I’ve suddenly started to appreciate the hipster beard and I’d even go as far as to say I’m slightly attracted to it – a few years too late, I know – and I also LOVE animals. So this is a pretty great combination. I’d certainly welcome a possum clinging to my face.
The photos are part of New Zealand shaver brand Schick’s #FreeYourSkin campaign, which encourages men to hack away at their excessive facial hair.
According to them, hipster beards have gotten out of control and many men’s facial hair has now ‘gone feral’.

— A Month In The Movies
With a month away from this scrapbook – blog, journal, whatever you might wish to label it – it seems a good idea to catch up on some of movie poster designs across that period that have had design sensibility enough to arrest my attention.
The first is Popovich and the Voice of the Fabled American West, and you can see many more after the jump.

— How To Engage With Classical Music
