I’m really liking these chunky slab serifs—what they call Western/19th century—from Aerotype. Again, I don’t really get to use type like this too often, but I like keep some around to play with. This foundry has quite the library—you can…
There’s nothing I don’t love about the design of these books—their compact size, the colors, their common design elements and, this goes without saying, the patterns. The topics are also, of course, extremely pertinent for anyone in business. First seen…
Somehow I managed to get on Mike Perry’s mailing list—snail mail, not email. I have no idea how it happened, but hey, I’m not complaining. So the other day I received a new promo piece from him: The Landscape Between…
I love the simplicity of these type tees from Print Liberation. If I was having a bad day and saw someone walking down the street in one these, it would snap me out of it (at least momentarily). Fun and…
Denis Olenik is one of the designers I follow on Behance. Based out of Belarus, he does some really great logo and identity work. I also really love his presentation. See below for a few examples, and check out his…
Delicious packaging for the Bubble Roome. I especially like that they emphasize each product’s pattern by shooting each one on the same background.
Love the new If You Could prints for August, designed by Jason Munn and Rob Ryan. In case you haven’t heard of the series, it is a monthly print release from London-based studio, HudsonBec. The two artists—one established and one…
Photo from FotografeRx’s photostream So sorry about the lack of posts the last couple of days. I took an unexpected sick day yesterday and today I’m headed up to Newport, Rhode Island. So I leave you with a couple of…
“Playful Type presents an inspiring collection of illustrative fonts and hand-made typography created from a variety of cutting-edge approaches and indicates current development in font design.” This new release from Gestalten is definitely going on the wish list. It won’t…
Grady McFerrin’s portfolio is overflowing with beautiful work. But I am especially loving his wine labels, with their gorgeous hand-drawn type. Makes me want to go pick up a couple bottles just to have those labels on display. Click here…
Not sure how long this feature has been present on J. Crew’s site, but it is new to me. They have this small interactive section which lets you see some of the inspiration behind the new fall collection. I am…
I know it’s not Wednesday but I couldn’t resist. Ampersand Tee, $26 from House Industries
I read about this new book from Mike Perry yesterday on Treasuring, and immediately placed an order. “Over & Over” follows the same format, only with hand-drawn patterns. Knowing how amazing his first book is (since I own a copy)…
For some reason I don’t usually spend a lot of time browsing through Flickr. I know there’s a ton of great stuff to be seen, and for a lot of people it’s their go-to resource for inspiration. But for some…
The other day Free Design pointed out “Eli No!”, a children’s book designed by the extremely talented illustrator, Katie Kirk. I absolutely loved the style, color and feeling of the images when I saw them, so I did a little…
Here are a few typefaces from TypeTrust that I’d like to get my hands on: Prelo Prelo Slab Ventura Heroic Condensed
Yesterday CreativeTechs sent out a really great newsletter that compiled a list of free ebooks geared towards designers. I’ve only gotten to look through a few so far, but it seems like an extremely helpful list. In downloading all the…
This week I came across new t-shirt site built on the Threadless model, itself. All of their shirts are printed in limited edition, with a maximum of only 6000 available worldwide. And so far it looks like their style leans…
