Interesting project by Emma Smart. She took most of the elements in a typical design studio and turned them into crayons! Thats right, the mouse, computer tower, calculator, lamp – all crayons. This project was done to encourage designers to create away from the computer. Good way to remind ourselves eh?
Check out the lovely illustration and typography work of Jessica Hische. I love her sense of humor and how it shows in her work! Makes me want to go out and illustrate something right now!!!
Love this march of dimes poster designed by Stephanie Russel. Its almost reminescient of the clean but bold illustration style of A.M. Cassandre! Check out the rest of her work over at her portfolio site.
Check out the portfolio of Anthony Zinni - lots of strong print, web and identity work! The site itself is also very organized and clean. Great work!
Check out the portfolio of Mint – a Seattle based design firm. They have some excellent package designs including this cleverly packaged shampoo!
I’m a total information graphcis nerd, but I’ve never seen anything like this before! Check out Dear Gretchen by Gretchen Nash.
An extensive book that investigates letters that I have kept inside a luggage case since my childhood. The process of the book included finding the word and phrase frequency of the letters, categorizing them by sender, by date, and finally writing personal reflections about each of the senders. Graphs were constructed to reveal the word frequency and each of the 187 letters were thoroughly documented inside of the book.
Do you ever wonder what kind of process goes on behind the scenes of great brands? Veerle from Duoh has shown us the process of their latest logo project: Social Signal. It’s cool to see different iterations and sketches that didn’t make the cut!
Jay from Warm Forest Flash counts down 21 Well-Designed Flash Portfolios.
So I scoured through my immense collection of Google Bookmarks and looked at literally hundreds of Flash sites and found my favorites. I’m only focusing on personal portfolio websites this time – I’ll leave design agency portfolio sites for another post.
This cracked me up yesterday: check out the portfolio of Noah Stokes Front End Developer and Other Crap! Also take a right click at the page and view his source code. Nothing like a smart ass approach to website design :) Oh, yeah he has a blog as well…you should check that out.
Check out this interesting typographic interpretation of a Feist song created by Rikke Otte:
The concept in this project is to transform music into type. All lyrics were on the outside and graphic elements became the inside experience of the music represented as a poster to be folded out, just as music is folds out from the speakers.
The inside text is a review of the music, and each graphical element is a representation of a certain sound or instrument from the music.
Check out the rest of the project in detail over at Behance.net.
