Promotional pack from printers Glasgow Press that was designed by Glasgow-
based graphic designer Kerr Vernon. Inside the pack was 5 letterpressed postcards with lyrics from songs by some of Vernon’s favourite Glasgow-based bands.

“Everything was printed on duplex GF Smith colorplan, except the Frightened Rabbit postcard which was printed on triplex,” explains Vernon of the thick, colourful and layered stock the postcards are printed on.

Go and have a look-see on Kerr Vernon’s website, he has some amazing design work over there.

Clair Hummel is a very clever lady all the way from Los Angeles, California. She has a passion for anything that reminds her of her childhood, Disneyland, Myst, national parks, museums, Hawaii and historically accurate costuming. No wonder she created these Fashion Period Accurate Disney characters (don’t know if that term exists, but you get it). Cool. Right?

Sleeping Beauty based on the year 1485

Pocahontas based on 17th century Powhatan costume

Cinderella’s dress is based in the mid-1860′s

Jasmine is based on rare drawings of pre-Islamic Middle Eastern fashion

Ariel’s dress is based on 1890′s evening gown fashion

Belle’s dress is based on 1770′s French court fashion

Here is the teaser for the Pendorings 2011 awards done by my friends! Enjoy the visuals, those who don’t understand Afrikaans - they are beautiful! It was shot in an old french house in Stellenbosch.

‘oritsunagumono’ (translated as ‘things folded and connected’) is a collection of origami works by artist Takayuki Hori created to highlight the environmental threat of pollution to a number of species native to japan’s coastal waterways.

Each one of these translucent sheet is first printed with either the images of fragments of an animal’s skeleton, or, on some pages, human-made discarded objects that are often eaten by the animals in the wild. Using the ancient tradition of folded paper, Hori folds these pages into beautiful 3D animals.

Summer is perfect for getting your bike out of the dusty shed and going for a ride. Especially with one of the puppies from Beg Bikes. While you are at it, grab one of those nifty flask and put it in your basket for a Sunday afternoon picnic.

Over the past 20 years, more than 20,000 bicycles have been brought into Rivas, a city on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast, by the non-profit Pedals for Progress, which collects donated bicycles in the United States and distributes them in impoverished communities worldwide. Since the first was unloaded in Rivas in 1991, the bicycle has become an integral part of daily life.

Below is a trailer of a documentary, The Bicycle City, that show how empowering a simple bike can be. If you want to find out more about this project, head over to The Bicycle City

Do you remember how much fun it was to play with Legos? During the holidays we dedicated a whole room in our house just for playing with them, because with a Lego block at hand, your imagination world can’t be restricted to a 1mx1m square. I ventured into a Lego shop the other day and found something new to spend all my money on! I am starting a collection of little Lego men. Already bought the first one (picture to follow soon). But I also stumbled upon these two designers, Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti, from Scandinavia. They took 20,000 blocks of Lego (also from Scandinavia FYI) and made this rad kitchen table. How beautiful? Only thing I’ll add, is a huge Lego pit where I can spend my mornings playing Lego, through gulps of Milo Cereal of course. Never forget breakfast kids!
