Seth Weisfield is a talented New York-based designer who specializes in motion graphics. I’m personally loving these boards he art directed for New Balance, a project that was completed at B-Reel.
These gorgeous letterforms stopped be in my tracks. Apparently they are actually part of a notecard set design by Jeanie Nelson of The Paper Nut from 2008, and somehow I missed them back then. These particular letters are part of “Congrats”, but the set also included “Happy,” “Hello,” and “Thanks”. I’d love to see a whole alphabet developed and monogrammed cards produced.

Screen printer and illustrator Nicholas Saunders is currently working on the new Harry Potter film The Half Blood Prince. (How cool is that?) He also has some really great work in his portfolio, so take a look.
Silvia Poretella, aka Bukubuku, has clearly mastered the art of cute.
More of her work can be found on Flickr, and you can purchase products created with her artwork at Etsy, L’Affiche Moderne, and Poketo.
Liza, the latest release from Underware is pretty amazing. Not only is it a fun and playful script with a hand-painted look, but it also has built-in features including “artificial intelligence” that automatically chooses characters so your text looks different every time. No more hand-selecting variable characters from the glyphs palette, Liza does it all for you. You can learn more about everything she can do right here.
Here is a fun project by Central Saint Martins student Sara: a set of cupcakes was made for her design tutors based on Adobe’s Creative Suite and Mac icons. Yum.
Designer Brian Gossett creates mixes on his blog from time to time. He describes his latest series, The Heist Series, as such:
“I am a huge fan of heist films. They exude a sense of excitement and wonderment. The recipe for a great caper is a seemingly impossible score, specialized team members, exotic sports cars, gadgets galore, globetrotting, beautiful yet conniving women, a dash of good humor, and an impeccable musical backdrop. The latter brings us to my latest series of mixes, The Heist Series. I have chosen artists who have scored classic and modern heist films. To add color to these mixes are complimentary tracks that flavor the ambience of the narrative. Each subsequent mix to follow, will personify a city in which our fictitious caper takes place. Enjoy this first mix on our tour, Las Vegas. Shuffle it up, or play it straight.”
I’m loving the sleek artwork.
Isreali designer Nurik Koniak seems to dabble in various disciplines, from design to art direction to styling. Several of his projects are for the food service industry, and I’m particularly liking the simple and classic branding for Friedman’s Catering House.
I found the branding for Totem via the portfolio of Haley Fiege. Totem is a Canadian design collective of six designers and artists specializing in “the curious”. Their branding was a collaborative effort, and each logo was formed through a combination of elements picked by the members to personify themselves.
This series by French photographer Laurent Nivalle makes me want to hop in a car immediately. He perfectly captured the mood of a lazy summer day.
