I love the detail on this package of sardines (scroll about a third of the way down on the linked page). Feels like a nice balance between busy details and white space. Although the company's site is in French, and you can't see any of their products close-up, it's clear that their whole line of seafood/fish products are designed in a similar way. #
I can appreciate collectors of unique things. Keep it within reason, and apply some form of logic to the collection, and you're okay in my book. These boxes and her approach are pretty cool. #
I particularly like these notebooks (Field Notes), and I'm fascinated by the printing process. Although it's not as detailed as I'd like it to be (I could spend hours/days at a printing press, just learning how it all works), it's still pretty cool. #
Clever double-meaning ads by the Dutch Uncle Agency. What's better is that it isn't just once, but multiple times. Very cool use of negative space. #
Bernard Barry made some great posters that fit very well into the desired message of the recent f8 Conference. I'm not much of a fan of Facebook, but his incorporation of chaotic and organized elements is extremely well-balanced. I love these. #
I wish this would have existed when I was a kid. This blog is full of patterns and drawings that are just waiting to be colored. Although I really liked a lot of these, I've printed off #2 and #54 to revisit my colored pencil collection. Kudos to Carlton Hibbert (the blog's author) for doing this. Truly awesome. #
The tube station at Notting Hill underwent renovation in/around 1956-1959. During the process they sealed off a portion of the passageways, and left things as they were, including this set of advertisements on the walls, which were only recently discovered. #
A bus driver in Copenhagen gets a surprise birthday song by the passengers on his bus and a random group of "protesters" in the street along his route. He's obviously immensely touched/moved by the experience, and I'll admit I was as well. Very cool. #
Some very cool carvings by Diem Chau. What a great material to work with, and I love the intricacy of each piece. #
I'm continually fascinated by the brilliance of Shaun Inman. Seriously. He's such an incredibly talented person, and this, his next project, doesn't appear to be any exception. Instead of the power-ups being provided just to the player (Mimeo), they're provided to the environment as well. #
