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. Star Wars Logo The below image is from 1976's Comic Con! I thought this was only appropriate for this weekend's update! What a detailed post on the process of the Star Wars' logo transformation over the decades! Read more about it on Tenth Letter of the Alphabet, found via Brand New. 2. Euro 2016 Here's another logo process, I love to glimpse into the creative development of these multi-part logos to see what all the pieces truly mean and they were able to simplify complex pieces into the simplest forms. And the pattern they created from the logo deconstructed is pretty neat too! Designed by Brandia Central, found via Brand New. 3. Creative Market Thanks to Nubby Twiglet for the heads up on this awesome online shop full of graphic goodies galore. Check it out! 4. Spraypainted Lace Pattern What a cool idea! Definitely adding this to the DIY list for my bestie's upcoming wedding! See more of the process on Eszter Laki's Behance. Found via I Am Mr Cup on Tumblr. 5. Zoomable Paper Map Oh how I wish the New York map would be ready for our trip next week, how amazingly user friendly and thought out is this paper map! Check out their kickstarter here,

1. Willy Wonka Jr. How unbelievably fun does this project look! Turnstyle branded this stage production of Willy Wonka for a local elementary school which included posters, programs, candy-bar wrappers, Golden Tickets, cast t-shirts, and various other props.

We understand the value of offering consumers an authentic and personal brand experience, which is why we are inviting the public to have fun finding the names on our products and taking the time to Share a Coke with their friends and loved ones, both in-store and online" Jon Woods, Managing Director for Coca-Cola Great Britain Found via the Dieline. 4.
