"I Can Read Movies" series

Ok, so if you read Entertainment Weekly then you may have seen this item as well. But it's still amazing and gets high marks for:

1. Being Smarmy

2. Simple, elegant design

3. Being Clever

My favorite is the Highlander cover. Check out the entire series here. And as far as lifting content from Entertainment Weekly...... I direct you to this.

Fun with Clip Art

These were the result of an intense couple of weeks with a "sealife" clip art disc and book I got. I am a sucker for collage.

Hello, Cupcake!

I love to cook, ok well mostly I love to eat, so I cook a lot, and what could be better than eating the delicious AND well designed! The cookbook and website of the same name (Hello, Cupcake) are high on my list of amazingly fun to make and delicious items. Dare I even say cute. Each page makes me want to start doing candy store drive bys to see where the best cupcake accessories could be found. Seriously, where can I find some multi colored Swedish fish for my cupcake penguins?

Stefanie Posavec

The beautiful and dynamic work of Stefanie Posavec in her own words " 'Writing Without Words' was the project I completted for my final year on the MA Communication Design course at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London. I wanted to find a way of communicating the complexity found in literature as well as highlight the similarities and differences in the writing styles of various authors. The structure of a novel and its punctuation, parts of speech, and words per sentence were used to generate the final complex patterns." 

All of these images are available in poster form on art paper at imagekind.com. This should drive the graphic designer in your life nuts. The focus of this project by the way is "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac
