report it...


All artwork © Hyperakt

Who said annual reports are boring? This is just brilliant. The White House Project Annual Report designed by Hyperakt, shows just what you can do if a client is brave enough to move away from the standard annual report format.

Those info graphics, those colours, that format. One day I will do something like this.

use the force...




All artwork © Olly Moss

How amazing are these limited edition screen prints? I love the films. I love these illustrations more.

These fantastic illustrations are the work of Olly Moss, a designer and illustrator from the UK. There's a hint of Saul Bass to his work, graphic and clever and very inspiring. Check out more of his work here.

quote, unquote...



All artwork © Wayne Dorrington

This awesome piece of infographics is just up my street. Big bold blocks of colour, quirky typography and it's actually illustrating some pretty interesting facts. The 50 highest grossing films of all time are illustrated in quotes. The larger the quote, the bigger the amount of cash it racked in. To see a larger version, click here. You'll need to zoom in to read the key at the bottom.

stars of the silk screen...


All artwork © Brainstorm Print & Design

Check out these gorgeous five colour silkscreen prints by Brainstorm Print & Design collaborators Jason Snyder and Briana Feola. Such a simple idea executed in such a brilliant way. I love the blocks of bold colour, and the fact that I wish I had thought of this idea myself. Check out the rest of their portfolio here.

a little birdy told me...


All Illustrations © Kate Wilson

I spotted the work of Kate Wilson on a kooky little card I bought from Paperchase. I loved the style, and here she is. Her bird work is so sweet but her fashion work which incorporates some great use of watercolour is also very striking.

Kate Wilson has worked for clients including The New York Times, Marc Jacobs, Links of London, ASOS, Liberty of London, Topman, The Guardian, Matches and Marie Claire Prints and she also has loads of original artwork.

death metal


Silver earrings £350 Like_Atmosphere


Silver £370 Like_Atmosphere

Is it wrong to covet jewelry shaped like skulls and spinal columns? Meh, I don't care. For me, these are the right side of weird and would add a decent amount of kook to any outfit.

The jewelry is designed by Like_Atmosphere , more of their stuff can be found here. I recommend you take a look round the whole site, there is some really great and unusual stuff to be found.

block party

Siggi Eggertsson is an Icelandic born graphic designer. He has worked in London and Iceland but currently calls Berlin home. From his portfolio it is obvious he clearly loves to experiment with typography and illustration, see for yourself here.

One of my favourite pieces is this set for a pitch to the V&A museum in London. I remember playing with similar blocks as a kid, and I love how he has decided to use them to create typography. Its bold, its fun and it perfectly captures the sense of fun and creativity of a 'free art fair'. Love it.
