The anticipated redesign for the AIGA Design Archives, designed by Second Story Interactive Studios, has launched. We’ll have to take some more time browsing the archives, but we are excited to see how far back in time some of the collections go. AIGA has also posted a case study to learn more about the development process and design behind the revamped, substantial design resource. The expansive collections provide something for everyone, from A Decade of Sports Graphics (1987-96) to Fifty Advertisements of the Year (1973). There is plenty of book cover design eye candy too.

The AIGA / Aquent Salary Survey 2009 for design professionals is now available as a downloadable pdf. I think printed copies will be sent to AIGA members (atleast that was the case in previous years). In the survey AIGA gathered advice from top design professionals in the industry, including Michael Bierut (page seen above). In addition, there is an online salary calculator. Like most salary surveys, the figures should be taken with a grain of salt (data collected from approx. 9,000 design professionals). Nonetheless, it serves as a good overview and an essential resource for designers and the creative industry.
