Things We Love

This sort of blew up yesterday, but I still couldn’t resist posting it here. As a huge Kate Spade fan—both the products and the brand—I almost leapt out of my seat when I clicked on this link. The creative minds…

Dan Matutina

I’m loving the illustration work of designer/illustrator Dan Matutina, who hails from the Phillipines. Here’s just one example of his geometric, textural style. For more, you can check out his blog, or pick up prints in his shop.

George Katz

It seems that it’s getting more popular for big name brands to put more time and money into design, which is a great thing. But for the most part when it comes to design for food brands (if we’re talking…

Fabio Ongarato Design

Here is a beautiful identity by Fabio Ongarato Design for interior design studio K.P.D.O. The envelope flap treatment is such an unexpected detail, and I love how they’ve described the identity as being based on “subtleties that count”. Sometimes a…

This campaign for The Rolling Roadshow, a traveling movie tour, is a student project by Alex Bloom. The annual tour produces outdoor screenings in the locations where each movie was filmed, and this particular campaign is for a stop in…

Studio Bomba

I first became aware of Studio Bomba‘s work through their new line of paper goods, Mitchell & Dent (definitely worth a look). So I was excited to hear that they also do client work, and have been operating as a…

Monday Quick Links: 11.08.10

Blockhead is a pixel-based drawing app for the iPhone. Quite possibly the coolest/cutest group costume ever. Really looking forward to seeing The Influencers. Taking Place is an interactive exhibit in Amsterdam that changes and develops by patrons marking their heights…
