Dear everybody, I hope you all had a great week. Sun is shining and food is great…Wait, no, that’s not how I’m supposed to start this post. I’ve read that I was supposed to catch your attention by saying something like: “Your design sucks” or “Nobody reads you posts.” But, hey, I’m much more into talking about myself. You know that writing the first two lines is incredibly painful? Especially since that’s all you’ll read? Next time, I shall start with something appealing featuring some gogo-dancers, and probably a story about a pervy pixel — then you’ll read it. Anyway, this week again I collected some pretty nice links from around the web.

Graphic design



150 years of advertising in the netherlands. Some vintage eye candy, once again.
10 mistakes logos designers make. One thing: We never make mistake. Never.
You never thought vintage polish jam labels could be so beautiful, did you?




Shin Tanaka and his paper toys strike back.

Polly Morgan does weird things with dead animals. Maybe I’d do this with my soon-to-be dead cats. (Don’t call animal safety associations, I love them. No, really.)




Byroglyphics has updated his portfolio. So beautiful it makes me swear. (Louder than usual.)

Just for fun.


Those things seems really, really temptating. Buy it here.
Kill Bill in 60 scds, one take.

A pretty crossmedia post for once! As it seems that my sense of humour has gone far, far away for today, I’ll stop here. Thanks for reading, have a nice week-end, and don’t forget to floss.With a lot of love,
Zélia.

Just My Type is a side project by designer Jacob Nylund. For now, 7 beautiful vector fonts for you to download and use freely, without any restrictions! Enjoy the ride, and take a look at his portfolio, Formconspiracy.

“Out-of-print PANTONE by Letraset posters that were used back in the old school days of print.” = vintage pantone love. Oh, you, pretty poster, will you be my valentine? So beautiful it hurts. The website is also quite mesmerizing. And for more Pantone goodies, the previous post.

Few weeks ago, I told you about the Helvetica Moleskine. Since then, it grew up as a trend on the interweb, and more and more of you are coming to see this designer’s holy grail.Good news: you canbuy it here! And Ilovetypography will organize a giveaway and a sale in the days to come. Aren’t you happy now? I already ordered one, black version, that I’ll never touch, but will probably look at for years. Oh the consumerism in the crisis time feels like a deadly sin.
