GRAPHIC DESIGN The new issue of Print Magazine asked four design studios to imagine the future of legal pot and how it would be packaged. Featured here is the solution that Base Design has come up with.
PHOTOGRAPHY A trippy photographic series of floating signage. This one’s my favorite.
FINDINGS This is a website where you can send pictures of your old business cards, modified to reflect a positive change. “Cardsofchange is a place where the glass is always half-full. A destination where all the bad news of the day takes a back seat to stories of individual success.”
SAVING THE WORLD NY-based designer Sheena Matheiken has pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion. The Uniform Project is also a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India.
FINDINGS Here’s a typeface called Woodini designed by the talented people over at Komboh. I found this via a pretty cool blog called It’s (k)not wood.
BOOKS Okay…I really need to stop with this book addiction. But it makes me so happy. This is another book I just bought with a super pretty fuschia cover.
ILLUSTRATION Andrew Holder is an artists based in Pasadena, California who has a portfolio filled with some really nice illustrations. His color palette and some of his illustrations feel a lot like a modern/graphic version of a Hockney painting.
BOOKS So I just got another book in the mail! This one is titled, Trade Marks & Symbols. Some of the marks in this book also appear in the Signs + Emblems book that I also got. So if you’re thinking about buying some books, I recommend only getting one of them.
TYPOGRAPHY Here’s a nice collection of typography found throughout the SF Moma. Summer is a great time to make a trip out to the Moma and check out their recently opened rooftop terrace.
GOLD STAR Breanne has a portfolio filled with some really awesome work and some pretty nifty silkscreened wallpaper. This project is my fav. “My work celebrates normative experiences via 1980s - 1990s popular culture, domesticity, cute, kitsch and the culture of collecting. It shares triumphant moments of youth and adulthood and oftentimes reveals the dark and embarrassing ones, too.” -Breanne
