I know it’s not Wednesday but I meant to post this link last week. The latest from Design is Mine‘s Summer is available in her new etsy shop for $19.
Starbucks Vivanno
I’m a bit of a Starbucks addict—when it comes to their drinks and their design. I’m always tempted to buy a bag of their coffee just for the packaging. Last week I noticed the in-store graphics for their new Vivanno…

Madwell 1937
I really like the site design for Madewell 1937, J. Crew’s sister brand. The clothes are displayed in a fun way, but what I really enjoy is the Calendar and Meet the Designers sections.

The Process Behind the Poster
Awhile ago I wrote about this poster designed for Barack Obama by Scott Hansen of ISO50. Here he outlines the complicated process in detail. Pretty cool insight into what’s involved.
Kehinde Wiley
I read about extremely talented painter, Kehinde Wiley, in a recent issue of Time Out New York, which you can check out right here. And I immediately loved his work. Lucky for us New Yorkers, he has a show up…
Smock
Several years ago while at Syracuse, I was lucky enough to work part time at Boxcar Press. If you know letterpress at all, you know Boxcar. In addition to letterpress printing and photopolymer plate making, they produce the well-known Boxcar…
