1. Russ & Daughters My favorite design posts are ones that go through the process of their creations. Kelli Anderson's process is always so deep and unique per project. Her skills this time even expanded to architecture design as she got to work on the store front of the new Russ & Daughters cafe. Every piece designed for Russ & Daughters is beautiful standing alone, and then brought together they form a truly unique look that goes past the paper goods, through the interior design and to the store front. She even got a look at the creation of the neon sign outside! A dream project executed to perfection. It takes a long time to write process posts, but somehow Kelli makes it look effortless and I thank her for the time she spends on them. I finished the post truly inspired and hope to always apply that much effort to all my own projects. See the post here. P.S. I also am really craving a charcuterie platter now. 2. Pageant of the Masters LOVE this fun new blog series, Pageant of the Masters; where floral designer Ashley Beyer of Tinge Floral, Kate Osborne of Kate Osborne Photography and Brittany from The House that

1. Aesop Illustrated Since November, at the design company I work at, we've been immersed in the land of nursery rhymes and poems as we illustrate large scale posters for the primary elementary school classrooms. I got pretty excited to see how other artists are tackling these poems and fables in the modern world. See more of Denise Gallagher's work on Aesop Illustrated on For Print Only, or check out her site. 2. Brave the Woods' Target Gift Cards Design I always have the hardest time picking out which gift card design I like best

1. Grand Budapest Hotel Graphics I really don't know much about this movie but without even seeing the film, I'm already loving the graphic design! Since the entire world is fictional, a design team came in to design EVERYTHING. The film's lead graphic designer, Annie Atkins, said: This film was particularly fun, I think, from a graphics point of view, because we were creating this entirely fictional country that Wes had written - the State of Zubrowka. It meant that every little detail had to be made from scratch - flags, banknotes, postage stamps, everything. Now that sounds like fun! See so much more here on Graphic Exchange. 2. Brittney Lee's Wedding Invitations After finally seeing Frozen, my love of Brittney Lee (previously posted about here), the movie's visual development artist, has exploded! Not sure why I wasn't before, but I am now following her blog and have found her wedding invitations. How unique are these? Seriously loving the color combination and the whole pop-up package! 3. Disney's March Magic Teams I love when my passions overlap

1. A Map of the World Book I'm kind of obsessed with maps, especially maps as art. I've even posted a whole blog on the maps and globes we have around our house (I think our collection has doubled since that post too!). Anyway, I am loving this book of maps that has been illustrated by a variety of designers. While Google Maps and GPS systems have become our tools of choice for navigation, contemporary maps have evolved into platforms for cutting-edge illustration, experimental data visualization, and personal visual storytelling. See more images and purchase the book here. 2. Newsprint Vendors Thoroughly enjoyed this post on Nubby Twiglet

1. Jeff Roger's McDonalds Ad I love putting a face to a design that I've known and loved. I had seen this McDonald's ad awhile ago, loved the painted textures and typography but never knew who created it. THen I ran acorss Jeff Roger's portfolio. And his behind the scenes process images! And then I loved this ad even more. It's just gorgeous work! See more of this campaign and more of Jeff's work here. 2. Seasons Cover by Eiko Ojala I'm obsessed with the intricacies of paper cutting
