design

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.

Via Quipsologies.

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.

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!
