Visionary Cardboard Boxes

This one can't go without sharing before I head out on holiday. Came across another awesome and innovative concept coming out of Oz. A design firm in Melbourne, Australia, have designed a Perforated House!

"The use of operable walls, doors, curtains and glass walls enables the occupants to change the experience and environment. This architectural manipulation of space blurred the boundaries between inside and outside, the public and private realm. The manipulated spaces overlapped and borrowed the amenity and context of it’s surrounding environment." -- KUD

An Interesting Catch

I'm aways looking around to discover talented work being done inside my favorite mediums because it's the best way to inspire my mind and motivate me to work. I found some new silkscreen styles that looked good to share due of their use of contrasting color. Also found a couple of interesting ways to use script which, by the way, look almost exactly like something I did way back in design school years ago. I'll see if I still have that around so I can scan it and show it to you. Hoping I do.








Now the script. I keep looking at this and wonder if nothing is really that new when it comes to conceptualization -- that it's just been recreated, recycled, reconstructed, redesigned by someone else's different perspectival mind. So many decades of creative thinking going around the world and back. Our unconscious mind sees many things, who's to know how it collects it all? Just uncanny that this first and second poster below are not only doing that, but they also came out of Australia. Kind of interesting to me.

Coffee Pressed Right!

To letterpress -- let me tell you, it is every designer's dream. Nothing stands out more than the gorgeous texture and delicate look of letterpress printing. This is a new coffee that opted for this treatment on their new packaging. How classy was that?! Nicely designed... I just want to pick it up and hug those beans!
