These are new works that are part of a nine piece series called ‘urban cartography’ created by talented artist, typographer and designer Alex Varnese. I first posted about his stuff a couple months ago here. He’s definitely taken his design work to the next level, this time focusing on a nice blend of 3d rendered [...]

Recently I discovered the website for Amsterdam’s ‘CODE Magazine’ which is distributed in the Netherlands, Belgium, Tokyo and Paris. Self-described as being a “platform for documentary fashion photography”, CODE is full of genuine, fresh design, typography and photography. On the website (which is slated for a redesign launch in March) you’ll find a bunch of [...] I really dog the illustrative stylings of New Zealand based Dane Flighty. Bold, vivid, imaginative and my favorite part is his line work. Lines that are super smooth and fun to follow as they twist and turn into peculiar machines, vehicles and characters. I also enjoy his subtle application of weathering and distress on his [...] 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 [...] Mag+ from Bonnier on Vimeo. From Vimeo page: This conceptual video is a corporate collaborative research project initiated by Bonnier R&D into the experience of reading magazines on handheld digital devices. It illustrates one possible vision for digital magazines in the near future, presented by our design partners at BERG. Visit -> http://www.bonnier.com These Pantone inspired ‘Christmas by color’ Christmas cards were conceptualized by Manchester based ‘Raw Design Studio’. The idea was to take 40 of their best poster suggestions from last year’s contest, let an online community pick their twelve favorites, then produce two sets of greetings cards to produce and sell. For more information visit the sites below. Visit -> [...] ‘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 [...] I’m totally digging the work of this brilliant Manchester based designer and illustrator John Coulthart. Seemingly straight out of the 60s or 70s John Coulthart’s illustrative works are mind blowingly detailed and appropriately trippy. Every inch of these designs adds a new twist to each over arching theme. I would love to see them in [...] If you ♥ retro type, paper collage, vintage imagery and bold color (who doesn’t?) you’ll want to go check out the work of designer Gordon Reid. His works are beyond inspirational when it comes to thoughtful collage composition and experimental typography. I dig his blog as well.

Taking the idea of customizing shoes to a whole new level Vans & artist Robert Williams collaborate on a special art shoe release. The new shoe will release in extremely limited quantities (13 pairs) at The Tony Shafrazi Gallery, NYC. Hand-painted & hand-signed -> DQM [...] It’s pretty safe to say that in these sorry economic times when business’s rely more and more on data driven tactics that infographics in general have become a part of our everyday lives. I’m posting this ‘Nonsensical Infographic No. 1′ to remind us that our charts, graphs and diagrams can be well designed, even if [...] London based design studio ‘No Days Off’ has created these amazing light installations in order to be shot and used for this year’s Digital Publishing Awards 2009 marketing materials (AOP Awards also based in London). I have been playing around with some low light photography of my own lately, so these shots really caught my [...] We all know how mundane the design “day job” can become at times. The Bandito Design Co. was started as a “healthy design side project” for designers based out of Columbus Ohio. Their prints display a ton of character and sometimes veer a bit on the retro/campy side of the fence. Their work is available [...] James Joyce is a London-based artist and designer who’s works are boldly colored, playful and beautifully simplistic. His work was most recently featured on the cover of Wallpaper magazine (Jan 2009 issue). In 2006 he started his own design studio called ‘One Fine Day’ that focuses on fine art prints and commissioned work from a [...] Jeff Klarin and Rebecca Johnson own and operate the multi-tasking art and design studio ‘Bughouse’ in Eagle Rock, California. They produce everything from screen prints to jewelry and furniture and then some. Browsing yayeveryday.com yesterday, I was really drawn in by an image of these playful retro music furniture examples. If you like these tables, [...] |
