Lampblack - Blue Chain Language single dropped today! :)

Luxe Paper | Moo

Mix List | Tycho

The Hair Tailor | Pete Gardner

Really digging this solution for a barber in the UK, that flat color palette and great iconography work very well together. The small shaving nick swabs put it over the top for me. Well done. 

Paperboy Wine Packaging | Stranger & Stranger

This packaging is not only graphically gorgeous it is also extremely clever. The "bottle" is recycled cardboard that is formed into the shape of a wine bottle, then a small plastic bladder is filled inside to pour from. And that's just the structure, the design is spectacular. Simplified color palette, black inks, the fun infographic on the back and the wonderful type and fron illustration. I will be hunting the liquor stores for this puppy. 

TYCHO | Posters

Scott Hansen, musician and amazing designer. Who sometimes uses the pseudonym ISO50 for his graphic design and apparel work. I just love his stuff, and own a few of his posters. Check out the full shop here.

The Whole Hog - Food Truck Logo

Typography | Kevin Cantrell

Trucktor Beam | Food Truck Locator

Check out this sleek design for a location based food truck service. Find all the hipster food trucks in town (coming soon to your area?) There is an Android app out there and an iOS version on its way. Clean and simple. Also, the only time trucks show up on the map is when they are out serving (lunch/dinner/latenight)

Sewer Tops Photography | Japan

There is a lot of beauty in Japan, most of what that country does in terms of design is simple and beautiful. I stumbled on these over the weekend and was awe-struck at the level of detail and craftsmanship. I dug a bit deeper and found out that the reason why each municipality was given creative freedom to create art on their manhole covers was to raise awareness for costly sewage projects and make them more palatable for taxpayers.

This has only been going on since 1985. Roughly 30 years and this is the breadth of creative design that Japan has put forth. Holy cow, this is so cool and beautiful. Thanks to photographer S. Morita for traveling around the entirety of Japan to capture each individual cover. There is about 6,000 different covers currently. 

The Grand Budapest Hotel | Annie Atkins

The new Wes Anderson flick has some stellar design work, the old classy feel of these pictures and items are direct reflection of those quirky little worlds that Anderson builds in his film making. Stoked about this design work and stoked about the new movie.
