NYC based photographer Steph Goralnick never fails to impress with her ability to capture seasonal events in a robust way. The photos above from a recent Summer camping/rafting trip are totally fun. Here in Seattle, we’ve been lucky to even approach 80°, so these images really make me long for Summer. I last posted in [...]

Last week I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the 99% conference in NYC, organized by the Behance network and sponsored by Pantone, Good, Coalesse, Blackberry and a few others. The 99% name comes from the classic Thomas Edison quote “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”, the diverse content that was presented [...]

A number of interesting discoveries came from my recent discovery of this ‘Rushmore’ print by illustrator Todd Slater. First off, the print itself, I’m a huge fan of Bill Murray and the movie Rushmore and poster prints. Win + Win! Unfortunately it’s sold out on Todd Slater’s site. Hopefully he’ll print up some more for [...]

I happened across these super nice graphic poster prints created by Leipzig, Germany based designer Florian Lamm on yayeveryday.com last night. They have an underlying retro feel to them, but at the same time they feel fresh and right on trend. He seems to enjoy the contrast of loose to tight when it comes to [...]

Sometimes I come across works that I really feel compelled to post here even though I have little info or background to share on them. The above posters designed for a Russian restaurant/nightclub conglomerate http://decadencegroup.ru/ are of no exception. I was pulled in by the unique, almost alien graphic as it plays spatially with the [...]

I discovered these amazing photos taken by Italian Photographer Paolo Novelli on one of my favorite trend blogs http://www.nalden.net. He is calling this collection ‘A Bit of Africa’. I really like his application of tilt-shift photo styling to these dilapidated and underdeveloped urban settings. Makes for a nice merge of old and new… More of Paolo Novelli’s photos can be [...]

Mike Walsh has definitely coined the word ‘Futuretainment’ for himself with his new bold graphic book about the future of business. The book’s bold promotional site ties in all the usual social media suspects very nicely and tells the story of how the creation of the internet, mobile and social has changed our digital landscape [...]

London Based designer Martin Plonka has some really nice typography examples in his most recent portfolio or ‘Playground’ as he calls it. His designs range from extremely experimental and organic to clinical and more utilitarian. A great destination for inspiration if you are looking to re-invent something through type. I also like the grid style [...]

Human Empire is Hamburg based graphic design and illustration studio, started by Jan Kruse and Malte Kaune in 2003. Their work is playful, innovative and a [...]

This ‘quilt’ chair design by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec really caught my eye yesterday while checking out DesignBoom’s “Daily Coverage” posts. It’s other worldly construction and unusual upholstery makes me curious to sit and enjoy this magnificent shape. It looks as if it fell from outer space and is waiting to hatch into something potentially [...]
