If They Could Talk…

September 24, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

Berlin-based greeting card designer and freelance illustrator Charly Clements creates the most adorable series titled 'Real Life Lines'. She puts personality into a whole range of inanimate objects, imagining the things they said if they had a voice. The simplest of doodles breathes life into each of them and certainly puts a smile on one's face. Other than the awesome . . .

Reflections on Art

September 21, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

Brainpickings asked artist extraordinaire Wendy MacNaughton to illustrate Susan Sontag’s reflections on art and the results are truly wonderful. The quotes used were carefully culled by Brainpickings from more than 1,000 pages of diary entries from both the same volume and the one preceding it, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963. Here they are... All aesthetic judgment is really . . .

Watercoloured Words

September 14, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

I came across June Digan during my Instagram stalking a couple of months back and so it was a nice surprise to spot her work on Design You Trust. She's a Manila-based graphic designer and artist who picked up watercolour painting as a “daily therapeutic activity after work” - we all need some of that every now and then. How else would adult colouring books become so extremely popular? The . . .

Mystery Boxes & Hand-Drawn Names

February 14, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

When you say "sustainability", normally one of these three things pop to mind: Buzzword. A word thrown around without any real backing, just to be a part of the "green trend". Tree Hugger. We've all come across these people. The hippies that no one can really relate to. Guilt/Deflection. The problem's too big to fix to make a difference. Someone else will do it. As a result of this, it . . .

Quintuple Colouration

November 28, 2015 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

Although my wardrobe consists of every shade of black, my eyes seem to hover every time I see a burst of colour in a brand's identity. Here's some letterpress goodness from Don't Try Studio. "Though they are 5-color letterpressed, white-foiled, and triplexed, Designer Quentin Monge’s playful, self-promotional business cards still don’t appear to be trying too hard." — KELLY CREE Via Under . . .

November 24, 2015 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

Being a fan of both Scrabble and Typography, I've gotten a bit obsessed with this new edition of the game. Andrew Capener has selected 12 great new fonts for the letters to be featured on the solid wood Scrabble tiles. Who else wants to get their hands on a set? Via Toyland . . .
