I just came across this new tumblr called Draw NYC. Each morning artist Randeep Katari draws New Yorkers onto photos of the city, such as these two at The Strand entitled Missed Connection (I was at that bookstore just a few days ago). I love New York and I am digging this!

You Smell is a line of luxurious natural bar soaps and paper soaps designed by Megan Cummins and has now launched! The design is really lovely and fun, you don’t see “like a lemon” until you flip over the packaging.

Anneke Short designed a series of posters called Confessions of a Designer to voice the truths that she and her designers friends have all thought at one point or another. I like the honest and comical messages!

Society6 is “Etsy for the Artsy” according to Fast Company. It’s not too difficult to acquire quality art for your walls these days if you know where to look. It’s also fantastic if you can help support the emerging artist community.

The Manila-based advertising agency TBWA\Santiago Mangada Puno has teamed up with Revolver Studios to create an extremely touching promo for the children’s charity Manikako. The charity has projects which teach less fortunate Filipino children doll-making skills so that not only can they make their own toys, but it also unlocks their creativity.
Shot as a series of dioramas – still life settings that would tell the story with no words and no animation, I really like the way it was done.

I’ve just discovered Photo-Lettering, a website that lets you create headlines using unique and interesting alphabets. The website seems a breeze to use and the prices are certainly reasonable.
Here’s an example of ‘a few bits and pieces’ of Photo-Lettering alphabets as a poster design from the Tinder and Sparks shop.

This identity was designed to support the launch of Matthew Hilton’s critically acclaimed furniture range by Spin, a London based award-winning design studio. The bold nature of the marque reflects the furniture designer’s strong idiosyncratic vision.
This is currently nominated for the Designs of the Year.
