Vintage Cassette Tape Design
Project C-90 is building an impressive visual archive of cassette tapes and insert cards. With thousands of images from over 50 brands, it’s easy to drool over them as a designer. It was more interesting to realize I remembered some of

Beautiful Posters for the Movie ‘Martha Marcy May Marlene’
I’m loving these posters for the movie Martha Marcy May Marlene. Bonus points for actually using a QR code in a tastefull way that follows the existing design rather than slapping it on at the end.

Steve Jobs proved the value of design over the sheer power of technology.

Visual Identity for John Cheese Digital Production by Block Branding
I like the visual ID work Block Branding did for John Cheese Digital Production. I think the delightfully analog approach for a digital production company emphasises that the best creative ideas come from places where a wide artistic background is

BauBike by Michael Ubbesen Jakobsen
The BauBike by Michael Ubbesen Jakobsen beautifully squares up everything. The frame also leaves an open end piece above the back wheel to add accessories like an extra seat or cargo rack. It all works very nicely, especially the contrast

The new Starbucks logo and brand identity gets it right.
image via www.underconsideration.com First of all, let me say this. Most people have a hard time with change and most people are not professional designers. Therefore, people hate new logos. My biggest frustration with armchair brand critique is not that consumers

Pavement Loop series by Alex Varanese
In his Pavement Loop series, Alex Varanese continues to do perfectly-composed and wonderfully textured, saturated work. I’m sure you’ll recognize his style from the extremely popular ALT/1977 Series of reimagined advertisements with modern devices.

Shipping Container Studio by MB Architecture

Color Berlin by Matthias Heiderich
Like most designers, I love Berlin and can’t wait to visit again. But when considering my own photos and memories, color isn’t something I immediately attach to the city itself because so many other elements of form and composition stand
