Live Now: A Community of Happiness

I’ve men­tioned Eric Smith’s awe­some Live Now project before, but it’s now expanded into a whole new com­mu­nity. Check it out for sto­ries, inter­views, art­work and more. They’ve even part­nered with HOW books on a pub­lish­ing deal, which I am super excited about. You can read more about it right here.

We Live Now

Jeremy Gardner Stationery

I always love check­ing my Google reader to find that Beast Pieces has updated. Every new project they fea­ture exem­pli­fies how they push the bound­aries of let­ter­press. And this project for Jeremy Gardner sta­tionery, designed by Duel Purpose, is no excep­tion. The reg­is­tra­tion is metic­u­lous. And the print­ing on the enve­lope flap? Amazing. Check out a cou­ple more images right here.

Color Happy 66

During the air­ing of Mad Men, illus­tra­tor Dyna Moe cre­ates a weekly desk­top wall­pa­per based on each episode. The scene below was a par­tic­u­lar favorite of mine, at least from a visual perspective—the col­ors were gor­geous. The entire set of illus­tra­tions can be found right here on Flickr.

The Rainbow Roll

Maybe this isn’t a new thing, but I cer­tainly haven’t seen it before. Sway Space decided to cre­ate a line of busi­ness cards for kids so that par­ents can arrange playdates—a pretty cool idea in itself. And to make them extra fun, they let­ter­pressed them by using a rain­bow roll, result­ing in a range of mul­ti­col­ored typo­graphic designs. So cool!

Type Love 79

Arctic is a head­line fam­ily cre­ated by German designer Henning Skibbe. Interestingly enough, his back­ground is in graf­fiti, which as you can see informs his work. You can pur­chase indi­vid­ual weights, or the entire fam­ily at MyFonts.
