Of Interest 01.30.2009 : Design


+ Photo Phun: Make tilt-shift photos (like those used on the Adult Swim bumpers) and Faux-alroids.

+ Want: British Design Classics stamps from the Royal Mail UK. The Mini Cooper! The London Underground Map! Penguin Books! The Anglepoise Lamp!

+ How To: a blog of instructional graphics of all types, updated weekly.

+ Coolest academic lecture posters EVER from the Biology Department at UNC. I would so totally steal these (after the lecture had passed, of course)! See all of the lecture posters done by The Merch here.

+ Project to do when I have a wall of my own: The Perpetual Photo Wall Calendar. I can start "collecting" the numbers now, and actually print and assemble later. (Oooo... possible blog/project for a month with 31 days?)

+ Want: Notecards by Jim Flora, especially the "Deluxe-O-Phone" set. I'm starting to collect little pieces like this to display as art.

+ Illustrator Christoph Niemann's love affair with coffee, drawn in "coffee" on napkins.
