I love this print campaign for French pet hygiene business Biocanina. They captured the characters so well … That first pooch is so unimpressed.

FATHER
Nice identity and fit out for Father, a coffee shop in Johannesburg. By Nicholas Christowitz.
WOODBLOCK CHOCOLATE
SWEET GREEK
Earlier this week I posted about The Company You Keep, one of the (many) design studios in Melbourne that gets my heart racing. Sweet Greek is a recent project from another of my favourite Melbourne studios – Studio Brave. I am seriously crushing on this identity. That deep, Greek blue, those stamped business cards – plus my mouth starts to water when I think of what delicacies might be hidden in that lovely white box! Perhaps my next holiday should be to the Greek islands?
THE COMPANY YOU KEEP
A new favourite studio from Melbourne with a rad name and incredibly spiffy work. The Company You Keep makes identity work seem just so easy. The use of colour is spot-on, and that typography – man oh man, I would love to create work as beautiful as this.
HORSE E-POSTERS
Have you heard of @Horse_ebooks, the spam Twitter account promoting (or shaming, depending on how you see it) low-quality e-books? I hadn’t, but then I stumbled across Tim Lampe‘s awesome side project, where he designs posters based on his favourite tweets from the clever spammer. Most of them are gloriously weird, and a lot of them don’t make a lick of sense, but I love how Lampe’s visualised these wacky little fragments.

BOB’S TASTY HABARENOS
Nice design from letterer Nick Misani. So Bob doesn’t have to fuss with producing and printing new labels every year, Nick designed two labels as rubber stamps. Bob just gets some paper, ink and wheat-paste and he’s away!
THE DAILY EDITED
I haven’t shared anything too personal about my day-to-day life here on the blog, but if you don’t mind too much, today I’d like to show you something that has been consuming my brain since early July – and just launched today.
A lovely girl called Alyce came to me, explaining the concept behind The Daily Edited. Part one is an online shop full of beautiful – and affordable – clothes for the working girl’s wardrobe. Part two is blog to visit when you’ve got a couple of spare moments at work, a space to showcase lifestyle, fashion, and food tips. And I was asked to come on as the designer.
(Quick sidenote – even though I’ve been working in this industry for a little over a year now, introducing myself to people as a graphic designer still thrills me no end. I am so lucky I get to do what I love every day, and call it work.)
It’s been the most incredible (and, to be honest, terrifying) experience. I got my hands dirty with the logo, the website, and lots of related collateral. It’s been such a fun ride, and I am so excited to be able to show it to you today. I hope you get the chance to visit soon.
MIND BENDING MONDAY No.12
You would be forgiven for thinking that this was a regular poster – granted, one with typography in such bright candy colours you feel like strapping a party hat to your head and start hanging streamers. But you’d be wrong. This poster is so much more. Buenos Aires-based Pablo Alfieri is the talent behind this particular creation, and boy oh boy, can he wield that scalpel for good!
MIXSON BATH & RACQUET CLUB
I’ve spoken about my love of a good invitation before (see here and here) – and this surprising offering from the wonderful Charleston-based studio Stitch Design Co is no exception. An invitation sent out on a printed towel, and styled with a couple of delightful shuttlecocks? Yes, please.
