1. Flourish Letterpress Wedding Stationery
Seriously in love with every piece and every detail in this wedding invitation suite. Printed by Flourish Letterpress, found via the Graphic Exchange.
2. Circus Characters by Jonas Bergstrand
Beautiful illustration work by . My eye is particularly drawn to the way patterns are used in the shadows. Found via Brave the Woods, illustrated by Jonas Bergstrand.
3. Want this Typeface: Oaf
Can I have it? Pleeeeease?
Oaf doesn’t go to art museums or the opera. Oaf doesn’t eat paté, whatever that is. Oaf was painted on a wall by an eccentric Canadian with a paint roller. The result is an unusual combination of straight, evenly weighted strokes and rough, handmade charm.
Purchase Oaf here. Found via Good Design Makes Me Happy.
4. Destination NYC Logo
It took me awhile to come on board the trend in every changing and morphing logos… of course the first to my recollection to do this was AOL. This recent identity was created by School of Visual Arts Masters in Branding Program under the guidance of Mark Kingsley, for the MoMA Design Store.
It plays at the phrase: “it’s at the corner of ____ and ____”
If there is one thing to say about this, it is that it feels like New York. It’s messy, it’s busy, it’s cacophonous, it’s a bunch of stuff piled on each other regardless of whether it’s cool (graffiti) or uncool (pigeon). The concept of putting it all in a “corner” is a great way to tie it all together.
5. Avatars by Charis Tsevis
While my design aesthetics usually stays away from loud colors, especially multiple loud colors clashing…. I was delighted to see this post on new avatars for Flickr. Designed by Charis Tsevis, found Looks Like Good Design.
