The above beauties are not helping my (almost) poster addiction. Available in gold and in a glow in the dark version, it is just a little too pricey for me right now, but maybe you want to treat yourself? here.
This evening pretty much the entire team that disgraced their nation in South Africa this summer, take to the pitch once more competitively when they kick off their Euro 2012 qualification campaign. Whilst the generally considered overpaid bunch of ‘stars’ on the pitch will be trying to make ammends (hopefully) a large number of long suffering fans are likely to be proudly wearing their sparkling new England shirt, having forked out another £50 so soon after the last ‘new’ shirt.
This time however they will be sporting the minimal graphic detailing of a certain design legend by the name of Peter Saville. Design opinion is split it seems. Personally as I am pretty much in the creative business because of the wonderous early work of said Mr Saville, my Saville tinted glasses like the simple colourful detail, alas I also know enough about standing/sitting on the terrace to know that your average England fan ain’t going to get it.
The rather tasty Designing Obama project is now available in its entirety here.
Good stuff.
It doesn’t get much better than this. A beauty of design from all the way back in 1968. Click here to see more of the same.

Whilst looking a little deeper at the work of Andrew van der Westhuyzen (my previous post), I happened upon the above equally as tasty little project titled ‘When We Fly’.
In an age where flying has become almost a reflex, just another mode of transport, the overall number of flights in the air at any particular point in time has reached truly staggering proportions.
According to the ACI(Airports Council International), in 2008, 4.874 billion passengers travelled by air on a total of 77 million flights. This particular view of the aerial next that spans the earth is based on one-minute snapshots of the number of passengers and planes in the air at a given moment in time – little blips on the global radar that add up to an impressive whole.
Very, very nice.
Loving this miniature world homage to Frank Lloyd Wright and Neutra for Australia’s latest Chillout Session release, nicely created by Andrew van der Westhuyzen via the excellent Sydney creative collaboration Collider.

It seems to have taken a while, but the wait has been worthwhile. Top notch Melbourne agency has a new site with some predictably tasty new work. Here.
Tomato a studio I had an enormous respect for when I was fresh out of Design School in the mid 90′s, in no part due to their fantastic collaborations and involvement with the superb Underworld. But until earlier this week, the years have somehow passed without me checking out their more recent work. But having done so and seen their work is still oh so nice, as shown with the two pieces of B&B Italia advertising above, it is only fair they get a first, and rather belated post on here.
If like me they have fallen off your radar, or you simply have never seen their work before, click here to be impressed.
I have seen a lot about Mr Phoenix’s is it real?is it not real? breakdown the last couple of days again, seemingly because the documentary (explaining all) is out in a few weeks. All I have to say about the whole affair, is, really nice poster!
Keeping the Helvetica film merchandising alive, Swiss Dots, the producers of the Helvetica documentary, have create this new limited-edition screenprint for the film. The print is inspired by a 1960’s design that has been seen on D. Stempel AG brochures, type specimens and posters — which you may have noticed if you are a fan of the excellent Mad Men.

Penguin Classics is set to publish a set of six new editions of F Scott Fitzgerald’s work later this year, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. The new hardback editions will publish on 4 November, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the writer’s death on 21 December 1940. Scott Fitzgerald died in Hollywood, California aged just 44.
I am liking.

At some point last week, I had the pleasure of stumbling across Oslo agency Bleed, and their very, very nice book project Hunger. Liking the format, and finishing, the book is a 200 page collection of 8 designers interpretations of ‘hunger’.
You can see more or should you desire, get your hands on one of the limited niceties right here.
A really nice portfolio of elegant, simple work by Ely, Cambridgeshire, UK agency Maddison Graphic.

The first of two agency site updates, first up, tasty new work and website for Sheffield based Kiosk.
Being a sucker for information design and data visualisation, I am liking the above little project consisting of posters, a set of stamps and a book, which visualises Vivaldi’s ‘The Four Seasons’. Nicely created by Barcelona studio Mot.

Well I am back from a much needed and enjoyed summer break in the Philippines. The blog has been quiet, but I have plenty of nice things stacked up ready to post time permitting. First up and a very nice place to start the ball rolling again is the above quite beautiful Letterpress project created by Ty Matteson to celebrate / announce the birth of his son Shepard.
Great stuff.
