Papier Valise ~ Provisions

The owners of Papier Valise have an eye for lovely old labels. Vintage paper (and other provisions) are all available through their online shop (some in large quantities). This particular example reminds me of something that inspired, or could be re-created with that beautiful typeface Phaeton#

Teecher Satisfaction

A cleverly designed scan-tron (think: standardized test form) for teacher/professor reviews. #

Jessica Hische - Alphabet Letterpress

While I'm on the topic of posters, this is a beautifully designed alphabet. Each character has a great feel, and an obvious attention to detail. #

Alan Hynes Poster - Ferris Bueller's Day Off

I'd love to own a copy of this poster (or even better, to get one without the extra date/time crap on there). It's a great movie, and I think this is an awesome poster. "You killed the car." #

Alice Stevenson - Barbara Trapido

Butter, packaged in a ceramic crock, with a wonderfully designed label. I'm not into the whole organic shtick, but I might buy this butter just for the crock and label (which cleanly peels off). #

TheDieline.com: Coleman Kids

Charming concept and illustrations by Sutasinee C. Seitz encouraging family togetherness through camping. I've always enjoyed camping, and think if I were a kid I'd totally want one of these kits, with spare marshmallows and spare matches… and a knife, and rocks to throw, a good pad to sleep on, and a deck of cards. #

I really liked this wedding invitation, although it could have been a bit shorter. Nice layout, and usage of Futura. #
