FRIDAY CANDY

For your eyes and your tummy! These Selfridges sweets are divine. Nostalgic packaging and pastel colours, I love it.

SUMMER

It’s so cold here and I’m daydreaming of summer. I would go around sans stockings, matching NYC cabs like this lovely lady.

JESS & RUSS

Jessica Hische is getting married. Her online RSVP is quite possibly the most incredible thing I’ve seen all year. Soak it up & share the love!

CELESTIAL PRINTS

Elise Mahan paints beautiful images of the heavens above.

PORCELAIN

Oh, ceramics. How I love them. And this packaging, for porcelain products in the Fine Little Day shop, is Scandinavian minimalism at its best.

IPHONE WEDDING

I love this wedding. I love how intimate it feels. I love the real-life homes where the couple got ready. I love the quiet pep-talk between mates before the groom saw his bride for the first time. And I am just blown away that all these photographs were taken on an iPhone.

Colin’s main purpose was to prove that a camera, any camera, is just a tool. And just like in any line of work, it’s all about how you use that tool.

DAN CASSARO FOR THE ACE HOTEL

Just something small today for all you hand-drawn type lovers out there. Dan Cassaro is one of the best. Check out this time lapse video he did for the Ace Hotel.

FROM COVER TO COVER

Designers’ personal projects are just so damn inspiring. I love seeing that graphic design isn’t some nine to five job – there are creatives out there who love what they do so much they can find inspiration in the smallest of places.

From Cover to Cover is a fantastic project from Jenny Volvovski (one third of the creative team at ALSO); she is redesigning the covers of books as she finishes reading them. To keep the books looking like they were part of a series she set herself a few limitations. Green, black or white for colour. Futura, typewriter or handwriting for text. Scanned paper or drawing for an image.

These are just a few of my favourites, but you can check out the rest of the collection here.

TAKEO TAKEI

I love the simplicity of these line drawings, from Japanese artist Takeo Takei. They were drawn for a 1925 edition of Aesop’s Fables, and I think they leave just enough room for a kid’s imagination to run wild with awful moral dilemmas.

EMILY ROBERTSON

Emily Roberston, your watercolours make my heart leap.

I am a sucker for beautifully designed cookbooks, and this is one of my favourites. The bright colours are beautiful and the watercolour is so different to the stock standard clean white plate photography on so many modern cookbooks.

Plus, her typography is damn fine too.
