1. These Are Things Well if you have been following this blog—for even one month—you know that I love the websites that just scroll and scroll and scroll, and the illustrations move at different speeds as you go. Apparently, thanks to the These Are Things blog, I have learned that the technique is called parallax. And the brand spanking new These Are Things site utilizes parallax to show the variety of environments that the studio duo works in, from selling their illustrated maps to designing for magazines. Not only is the development of this site just amazing, the illustration work is so simple and beautifully detailed all at the same time. You really get a feel for who the team behind These Are Things are and what inspires them. Another fun detail is watching how their cats change in each scene as well. One other reason this site is so top notch is the process it took them to bring it to this quality, what a great read! Really amazing work Jen & Omar, and just since I started following your blog a week ago, I have learned so much! Thanks for the tip, designworklife! 2. Lindsay + Steve’s Hand Lettered Wedding

1. Treasure Island Illustrations by Bomboland I just love the look and feel of papercut art! And when it is just done so well and for such an appropriate subject, it just really goes right to the top of my list. I love the added depth of the sea in this cover for Treasure Island. And when looking at more photos of the project, they even use a map of water for one of the pieces of paper! Designed by Bomboland, found via Eight Hour Day. 2. Oliver's First Birthday Invitation It seems like all my friends are having babies! Many of them coming up on their first birthdays even. So when I see a great birthday invite, I just have to save it!
