recycled colored pencil rings




I am obsessed with these rings by Maria Cristina Bellucci...They are made out of old colored pencils, and since I love colored pencils, I love these...I just really like the idea of giving new life to something you would ordinarily throw away after you use it.

Tea-Shirts

These "hanger tea" bags do everything a tea bag is intended to do, but in an innovative way. The designer, Soon Mo Kang, used a clever and interesting form to compliment an everyday function. (hanging a tea-bag on the side of your cup.) I want them, now.

The Fun Theory

I heard about the fun theory last semester from my online Digital Imaging instructor. I would say this is good design; it definitely gives back to the users and the environment. I wish I could have a miniature one for myself.


New Typeface from H&FJ

Reblogged from HF&J:
H&FJ is delighted to introduce Vitesse®, a new slab serif in twelve styles.

Slab serifs are one of typography’s most vibrant categories, yet they remain dominated by two ancient forms: the nineteenth century Antique, and the twentieth century Geometric. Both are vital and living genres — we’ve explored each of them, in our Sentinel and Archer type families — but what of the twenty-first century slab? Vitesse revels in the tension between organic letterforms and mechanical grids, and offers designers a distinctive new voice that’s suave, confident, and stylish.
