When one says barn house, my mind automatically goes to farm animals and red painted wood. When I saw this house in Melbourne by Whiting Architects, it was clear that this is no longer the case these days. A perfect juxtaposition between the modern & contemporary look that seems to be all the rage these days, and the rustic wooden touches that add a whole bunch of personality to the design of . . .
Trick to Survival
Loving this idea - The Survival Kit. Canadian creative studio Phoenix has come up with a solution to deadline anxiousness, presentation panic, or worrying about an electricity cut in the office. (This might perhaps be due to the fact that I'm currently in a dark room with one solitary lamp on and the music blasting at 8:15pm, attempting to cross just one more thing off my to-do list at . . .
Stationery Love
Happy Friday all! It's a long weekend over here, so we're all even more excited today (despite the forecast of three days of rain). There has been a tad of a blogging hiatus as I've been away in Tokyo, my new favourite city in the world but more of that later... For now, check out this notebook set by Russ Gray - so beautifully whimsical and perfect for Spring. via Nae Design . . .
Cover It
Spotted some pretty sexy tech-gadget covers. About Them: Grovemade began with friendship and the spirit to create.

Jerk Balloons
Balloons - commonly seen at happy events. Like children's birthday parties. Well, things have clearly changed with Shauna Luedtke's “Jerks Balloons” which feature a bunch of nasty messages. You know how most of the time you can say anything and get away with it, as long as you smile while doing it? Trust me, it works. Well in the case of these balloons, they can probably say anything and get . . .

Random Word Doodles
Sydney-based concept artist and illustrator Charles Santoso decided to start a project called Random Word Doodles to strengthen his brain muscles. What you can do is to give him a word via his Twitter feed, he picks one and does one of his adorable illustrations. Each one takes around 30 minutes to an hour and a half, done digitally via Photoshop. Which is your favourite? I'm voting for . . .
Paper Fun
Illustrations with paper and collage have always impressed me - the effort taken to cut each of those layers of paper to create and illusion of depth and shadows. Estonian illustrator and graphics designer, Eiko Ojala, does just this with his work... He studies the forms of shapes and works closely with light and shadow, keeping his illustrations minimal and well-advised. According to his . . .
Juice Up
It's such a refreshing change to go into a place and see that every single corner has been branded properly. #designsnob you might say (accentuated by the cool hashtagging and all), but that's what working in an agency for years does to you. Roots & Bulbs does it exactly that - London's first cold pressed juice bar - with the help of branding agency Robot Food. Juicing is the industry to be . . .
Ruthless Endings
“It’s not you, it’s me.” How many times have you heard that? Not too many, one would hope… Portugal-based graphic designer Wasted Rita created a collection of breakup letters. Despite the seemingly cruel messages, the humour and quirky typography is something to be admired. She is self-described as "a natural born agent provocateur, sarcastic as needed and a full-time thinker who must write about . . .
