PRIME from thismustbetheplace on Vimeo. This beautifully captured short documentary left me feeling bit home sick for NYC, and also a lot hungry for a good ol’ fashioned burger. Well worth the view. Notes from Vimeo: “Prime Burger Restaurant, in Midtown Manhattan. For many of the guys that work here, the restaurant is like a second home – [...] Tumblr has become such an amazingly vast archive of people’s interests, I never know what I’ll discover on my dashboard. Being a car guy, and a fan of all things obscure and retro, I’m having a lot of fun with antiquegleam.tumblr.com. Lot’s of old forgotten automobile designs, ads and odd captures of the classics in [...] When I was in school I thought my typography teacher was pure evil for having us hand letter the alphabet over and over until we got our kerning and serifs perfectly nailed down. Years later, I now understand and greatly appreciate what he was teaching us. Brooklyn based designer Dana Tanamachi has a collection of [...] Today I stopped in and took some pics of the newest retail addition to Seattle’s downtown shopping district, ‘All Saints Co.’ (based out of London). Aside from the nice retro typography, fluid branding and tall windows impressively stacked floor to ceiling with vintage sewing machines, I was also pretty excited to see iPads spotted throughout [...] If you have a second to spare today and you enjoy retro-classic illustration and typography, you should check out Belgium based designer Veerle Pieters’s ‘inspiration stream’. She’s taken the time to curate a nice collection of retro-kitche works by various designers and artists. Her entire site is a great place to click around for inspiration. View [...] Emigre has released it’s ‘Emigre No. 70′ issue that they are calling ‘the Look Back Issue’ celebrating 25 years of superb font creation. From what I’ve seen on type blog ‘ilovetypography’ the spreads are vivid, inspiring and full of classic Emigre fonts. A nice book to have around the house or studio. You can find [...] If your life has become as surreal as mine has lately, then you may need a dose of something so obscurely potent that it may cause your reality to jump the rail a bit and send you down a better track. Or maybe you just enjoy the digitally delicious and crunchy sounds of 8 bit [...] Colosseo: Reimagining the Roman Coliseum with type (Canon 7D) from Cameron Moll on Vimeo. Shot with a Canon 7D, Cameron Moll nicely documents his painstakingly precise type rendering of the Ancient Roman Coliseum, ‘Colosseo’. Using a classic Vandercook press he discusses the detailed preparation involved as well as the need for quality hand craftsmanship and the [...] Rolls-Royce GHOST – World Premiere from 12FRAMES on Vimeo. As a bit of contrast to the previous ‘Logorama’ post… I really enjoy seeing classic brands embrace new ideas and re-emerge in ways that remind us all why they became classics in the first place. Rolls-Royce was obviously going for a very fresh, refined and high-tech vibe in [...] The classic Polaroid self-developing film camera is back with their soon to be released ‘One Pic1000′ instant camera. Since 2007 many loyal Polaroid enthusiasts have been hoping this re-launch would occur. The company plans to release multiple retro-chic designs and has even announced that pop star lady gaga will be the creative director for a [...] I’m very into the work by by Michigan based design duo Laura and Eric of ’64 Colors’. The work is so well done that it almost looks as if it had been sitting in your ex-roommate’s brother’s hairstylist’s elderly uncle from Hong Kong’s basement suffering from water damage for the last 48 years. The line [...] I can imagine that Beethoven would have been very interested to see his music visualized through this graphic animation. Each colored bar represents the musical instrument that is being played at any given time of the score. While viewing I was reminded of how brilliantly complex this composition actually is. The graphic itself that is [...] ‘Little White Lies’ is a magnificently written, curated and illustrated UK based bi-monthly independent movie magazine. To celebrate the recent movie release of ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ they have dedicated the entire issue #26 to the movie. From the few spreads that I have seen the magazine issue has the potential to be as [...] As I sit here waiting for the rain to blow over and for the pavement to dry a bit so that I can go on a bike ride, I’ve decided to dip into David Cooper’s bicycle collection on coopertechnica.com once again. This time we’re looking at an extremely rare French made 1958 Urago Bicycle crafted [...] |
