Letters that Pop
Having a personal interest in hand-lettering, I flip through a whole lot of stuff on a daily basis. This particular one caught my attention today - Turkish graphic designer and electrical engineer Tolga Girgin experiments with calligraphy, making the letters seem to pop off the page. Through shading, shadows and different forms of perspective, they're given a new kind of life on the page. Really . . .
Hello 2015
Thank you for the laughs and smiles, and the unexpected surprises you threw in my direction. For all the new countries I got to visit, and the family and friends I saw along the way. You went by at a crazy speed but I've somehow managed to learn a few lessons while you flew past. 2014 - you were an amazing year. I'm looking forward to the year ahead and all the adventures that I'll get to have . . .

Well in the case of these balloons, they can probably say anything and get . . .
Wobbly Type
Jelly is delicious to gobble, a treat enjoyed by both children and adults. Well, I'm assuming that most adults still like jelly - how can you think that the colourful, sweet, half-food half-liquid food is anything but great? Well now apparently you can also make typography with the rainbow treat. m-inspira, a pair of designers from Valencia in Spain, recently created gelatin letters as one of . . .
Sharing Bliss: Paper
Perhaps this post comes a little late as all the big holidays seem to be over. However, if you do need some cards or gift wrapping sometime in the near future, SUGAR PAPER is a brand that should come to mind. Their stuff is great, and will probably delight you as much as it would the receiver. I am a little too really obsessed with papergoods, so browsing at their collections were pure bliss, an . . .
Unmotivate Yourself
You've probably had enough of all the motivational quotes on pretty backgrounds, and all those pictures of abs saying 'you are what you eat'. Or whatever they normally say...you know the ones I'm referring to. Well, I'm here to un-motivate you with the help of Starshaped Press, just in case the natural causes haven't got to you yet. I mean...it's the middle of February, that's almost two months . . .
