This is an instruction manual for the Singer Touch & Sew sewing machine. This was my grandmother’s sewing machine and it was given to me with the manual. I was showing it to a friend commenting on the Mary Tyler Moore Style and how few marker renderings you see these days. My friend said they believed it was a water color. We both had good arguments, but nothing was resolved and so I would love to know what other people think. Is It a marker rendering or a water color and what makes you think this way?
Over the holiday break my boyfriend and I were toying with the idea of taking a trip to Philadelphia. We did some searching for museums and the Mutter Museum came up in our search. We stumbled onto this podcast that the museum puts out and No Bones About It! Featuring Noah Scalin caught my interest. I love The idea of creating a skull a day although I’m not so sure that one a day is a realistic goal for me. I didn’t make a new years resolution however making one “SOMETHING” a week seems like a goal I could stick to for a year. So I think I’m going to purse this concept. Anyone out there have something that they are going to do? I’ve seen ideas to design for 15 to 20 min every day and I’m wondering how that will work out for people.
I love the album art on this Yo Lo Tengo CD cover. I came across this image on a post for Trends on Album art in 2009. Although the blog post wasn’t one that blew my skirt up, I did find this image which did do it for me. I love the color palette, typeface and concept. Speaking of Typefaces does anyone recognize what this script font is? I’ll have to do some more investigating. Maybe I’ll try whatthefont. Although I have to say I have yet to find a typeface that way.
Inventive CD packaging for Zinkplaat a South African Band. The front and back are printed with a scratch-off ink layer, and the packaging comes with a guitar pick for scratching off the ink.
The design is by fanakalo

I stumbled across this image from 20 Beautiful Examples Of Creative Text Used In Advertising. As I was scrolling down I saw this image and wanted to investigate it further. I think it is an ad for Les Jardins de Colette, a botanical garden in Varetz France. They also have Le labyrinthe de Bel Gazou which is shaped like a butterfly. It looks very interesting! You can check out their website Les Jardins de Colette
My favorite magazine body & soul Whole living and my favorite yogurt Stonyfield Farms created the going greener guide book that you can read online. It’s nicely designed and of course it’s full of helpful info on living green. Check it out.

I think I’m happier with the pink to orange gradient rather than the white. It feels more summery and psychedelic which is what I was going for, playing of the “Palooza” title. What do you think I’d love to hear comments anything but more spam. I hate that.
