WE ART YOU

As most have moved on to 100% digital music files, it’s pretty rare to see any sort of music packaging these days. WE ART YOU, the work of Andrew Murabito, happens to be a pleasant exception to the rule.

Color Happy 85

I’ve been admiring the vintage-inspired patterns and color palettes of etsy shop Inaluxe. Their work ranges from prints—you can find this particular one right here—to canvases to card packs, all featuring the same awesome mid-century style.

Joe Snow

Joe Snow is a UK-based designer and ilustrator working in a colorful, retro-inspired style. I’m particularly loving the branding and packaging he designed for Ridley’s House of Novelties, as you can see below.

Live Earth

James Mabery‘s primary focus is on motion graphics, which I don’t feature a whole lot of on this blog. However, I’m particularly fond of Live Earth, a student project created to promote global warming awareness.

f8 Conference Branding

It’s been pretty awesome to see the work Ben Barry has completed for Facebook since he’s begun working there. And the branding for the f8 Conference is no exception. The polish, creativity and level of details is truly impressive. Check…

LoSiento

I have to admit I got a bit lost on the LoSiento site. There was just such an abundance of eye-catching projects, I had to keep checking out what was next. See for yourself right here. via OK great

This delicate, feminine identity was created by Marcio Kelmanson (a partner at James) for Belle, a boutique that rents high-end wedding gowns and alters them to fit as if they were tailor-made.

New Gavin Potenza

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve checked in to see what’s new in the portfolio of Gavin Potenza (I bought his Homage to the Stamp print from Tiny Showcase way back when). So I was excited to see all the…

Milk Carton Postcards Project

Loving this project by Grass Studio. This series of postcards for the Dasein Academy of Art feature die-cut artwork that folds into miniature milk cartons. How fun would these be to collect? via The Dieline.com

PaperRep

Way back when OS9 was the operating system of choice, I received a PaperRep disc at some sort of paper event. At the time I had recently graduated from college with little knowledge of production, so to me, it was…

While browsing the Anthropologie catalog, this fragrance packaging caught my eye. A Rather Novel Collection Eau De Parfum is a collection of six scents created especially for Anthropologie by five perfumers from the fragrance house Givaudan. Each fragrance was inspired…

Communication Arts Typography Competition

For the first time ever, Communication Arts is holding a Typography Competition. This juried competition will celebrate “the best use of typography as the primary visual element in design and advertising, plus new typeface designs, calligraphy and handlettering.” The deadline…

Danielle Davis

LOVE the lettering and illustration style of Danielle Davis. These particular illustrations are from Merry Stories, a personal project based on Der Struwwelpeter (1845), a German’s children’s book by Henirich Hoffman.

Write Your Future

I thought it seemed apropos to start off the day with a project having to do with the currently-happening 2010 World Cup. A few designers from w+k studio—Brad Simon, Kelly Wright and Matt Blum—recently collaborated with artist Diem Chau to…
