The Small Stakes

Really want this book. Check out the link for more details on these retro music posters by Oakland based designer Jason Munn.

100 Years of Stamps

Swiss Stamps

Nice graphics: commemorative sheet to celebrate 100 years of Swiss stamps.

Incandescent LED Bulb

LED Bulb

I think this is a stroke of genius. 80% energy saving alternative to the traditional 60Watt incandescent household light bulb. Semantically genius in its aesthetic, and an awesome step forward in the energy saving product market!

I particularly like the lower (or upper when fitted) heat sink section of the bulb which I assume doubles as a grip for removing/replacing the bulb as well as an interesting ‘futuristic’ styling cue!

iShred

Pulp

Pulp Table

Liking this pulp table. There is something visually appealing to me about this material even though it is no doubt associated with expendable products such as packaging, maybe it’s the rugged ‘recycled’ texture?

So, you need a typeface?

Typeface Flowchart

Interesting Typeface flowchart by graphic design student Julian Hansen

Designer Tragedy

Stuck in Milan

In this case, wishing I was a part of this global tragedy. 

Slum City

Olusosun landfill site

Olusosun landfill site: a pretty depressing yet at the same time incredible image of a woman carrying mangoes on her head, descending into Africas largest landfill site, the Olusosun.

Colleagues at work were discussing a 3 part series on Nigeria which included an insight into life in a slum. Its amazing that people survive here by selling the scrap that surrounds them!

Bearly a Campaign?

Polar Bear Death

Greenpeace guerilla (well, in this case polar bear) art in Poland.

Gabriel Flume

I love this song by Bon Iver, check out an interesting cover by Peter Gabriel
