Not only do the guys over at Israeli-based Aqua Creations have a really unique perspective on lighting and furniture, they’ve got a great logo and website to boot. Check it out if get chance.

The really great type blog, Lettercult, has issued everyone a type challenge that is hard to resist. Every couple weeks designers are invited to show their typographic prowess by designing a certain letter of the alphabet. The “A“, “B” and “C” battles are already on display and battle “D” is currently on and submissions are due April 11th. I may just have to throwdown on some of the up coming battles!
By now, I’m sure most of you guys out there are probably familiar with the work of Chiara Bautista (otherwise known as Milk). If you aren’t… you should be. Love, Love, love her work.
Christian Helms over at The Decoder Ring created this sweet poster for last weeks Flatstock Poster Show at SXSW. The crazy thing… the ink is actually BBQ sauce. It’s a little gross but it oddly makes me want to have one… wonder if it’s hickory smoked or sweet and tangy?
Of the hundreds of images that I’ve received from Eric Baker’s Today series, this has got to be one of my favorites to date. I would have loved to have been in the room when this picture was taken.
Eariler today I an across some fun illustrations from Studio on Fire alum Erik Anthony Hamline over at his site, woodsandweather.com.
The guys over at UK-based Carsonified don’t play around when it comes to employee perks… a three day weekend every week is like a dream! Proof that you don’t have to be a slave to the grind to be successful.
Back in Late 2008, I contacted Brazilian designer, André Felipe, about joining an online project he had just started called Typo/Graphic Posters. It’s intent on being an online community run repository of all things… well, typographic and poster…y was ambitious and inspiring, especially for the type lover.
André, thankfully, was happy to invite me to be a part of the project and the site quickly became a staple in my bookmarks for a quite a while. Until disaster stuck last summer when André database crashed! Oh, the typographic humanity…
Fortunately, instead of letting of the project die, André decided to take the proverbial lemons and turn them into an amazing batch of limoncello! After many months of development Typo/Graphic Posters relaunched a few months ago with a beautiful new look and an extremely robust set of features (some I didn’t even know was possible for a website) that is impressive to say the least.
I just found this little flash mini-site from White Vinyl that maps the rotation of the planets around the sun and applies a musical tone to each of them to create a beautifully hypnotic musicbox effect. Lovely!
You know, as primarily a print and branding designer who struggles with the ever losing battle between print and web, I get a little nervous when it comes to interactive design and what is possible. Then I run into a website like the one for interior design firm, Wonderwall Inc., and I’m reminded that my anxiousness is completely unjustified and that everything is going to be just fine. Wonderwall’s site is seriously an amazing piece of design and coding and what’s even better is that there body of work is at the same level. Awesome!
