I don’t usually post designs of wedding invites but these are too cute. Designed by Adam Hill, duckies cordially invite you to the wedding of Simon and Simone. The directions and the dress code are my favourite. How nice to receive such fun invitations – just imagine the wedding!
Designed by Ferroconcrete in Los Angeles, these colourful cookies speak to you off the shelves with very clever insights on well, cookies! Such refreshing packaging design always brightens up the aisles of a supermarket.
On a side note, this was on Ferroconcrete’s site: “How do you fall in love? You may be attracted to the looks, but you fall in love with the personality. It’s the same for any brand. It’s our job to fall in love with your brand and pass it on.” What a lovely way to describe a brand. Why can’t more advertising folk speak like this?
I wish I could stamp this on my client’s foreheads. Or on their briefs. Designed by vbg as a new years compliment to their clients, these stamps read “Good design is for good clients”. So simple and so true.
Coasters just got fun people.
These four coasters have predictions on them! Each coaster provides fortunes for a different aspect of your life: Love, Happiness, Career and Adventure. I love the simple yet very appealing predictions. My favourites are Meet a handsome stranger, You will travel around the world, You will reconnect with an old flame and You will meet someone who makes you swoon. Designed by the good people at Seamless Creative.
I came across this amazing video today. With uplifting old school music and the sheer talent of these two artists, it’s a joy to watch. I don’t know how they draw so perfectly without any outlined markings anywhere. The messages are simple, and somehow, as simple as it is, it makes me want to do better. To be better and follow my dreams. Watch the video here. Happy Monday everyone!
I need to get my hands on all 8 volumes of Bracket – a sleek publication that features ideas, sketches and processes. The collection contains volumes on craft, hunger, ethics, failure and spirit to name a few. I love the sexy minimal image on the outside and the scatterbrain sketches covering the inner pages.
I love me a good survival kit. These kits designed by Trigger are in such stark contrast to each other that both would be great to hand out to friends for Christmas.
Oh and WordPress was a little weird for me yesterday but it’s all back to normal this fine morning. (Yay!).
Dieter Rams once asked himself if his design was good. A simple but insightful question. Soon afterward he came up with a sort of checklist of commandments that is still of use today.
By the way, am I the only one who thinks the new WordPress makes it really difficult to post in such a tiny box. Also uploading photos was a lot easier when we could dump all the photos in at once.
Featured once before, KOMBOH has a new addition to their portfolio of oh so awesome work – their brand identity. Just like their work, their identity design is fun, quirky and witty. I wish my invoices had a good riddance box to tick. Best bit.
Hi all,
This special weekend update is to announce that I’m now freelancing!
I’ve been freelancing as a graphic designer for some time now but I’ve never officially put the word out. So here it is! Pass the word around and let me know if you need anything! Thanks everyone :)
