Friday Lights : Dan Flavin

One of my favorites. I could get lost in Dan Flavin lights.
Flourescents never looked so good.

fleurish

Modern floral design by fleurish. I love white on white...always classic, always fresh.

Music + Typography

Bob Dylan portrait with his lyrics in Garamond type.
Best seen in motion with volume on.




And then there's the ubiquitous Helvetica...a portrait with music of Nirvana.
Interesting statement about the use of Helvetica.

Color Burst

Vibrant work from Jen Stark (via Pingmag). Her paper sculptures are stunning.

Fashion Unfolding

I just discovered Victionary. They are a design firm and have a great line of books.
Fashion Unfolding highlights the intersection of graphic design and fashion.

Friday Lights : Thomas Paul

Because I have such a crush-thing for lighting objects, I will be featuring them
every Friday.
These are from designer Thomas Paul.

Glassy

Sublime work from So. Cal glass designer Caleb Siemon.

Pod Shoes

Flat-pack, self-assemble shoes from French studio lo.

Winfield Composites

Beautiful work from Patrick Winfield, polaroid photographer and graphic designer.

Liquid Paper

I adore Liquid Paper. Laurie's photography is lovely.
And, her studio is a little space of zen...

Don't Be Square

A great journal...quilt squares were around long before Albers.
See more at Denyse Schmidt.

Ceramic Soup

Surreal landscape or Japanese soup bowl? Actually, the latter....a ceramic topographic soup bowl. From kyouei design, Japan.

Super Impositions

One of my favorite pieces from Matt Bailey, photographer.

City Hands

Vintage gloves imprinted with a map of London...briliant.

ELM : Iceland

My love affair with all things Iceland never ceases. Here are a couple of designs from ELM. Very unique, very sculptural. I will visit this fascinating country someday.

Modern Adman

Great work from Alvin Lustig who died too young. I enjoy the playfulness, color and geometry.

Serif Fairy

The Serif Fairy has lost her wing, keeping her from performing magic.





What a delightful way to learn about typography for children and adults alike.
