I want to hold you book cover [Carlo Giovani]

Fern — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 11:21:44 +0000

This book cover is actually entirely digital, which bums me out a little because I would love to track down the nonexistent original and run my fingers over it. Texture and layers, how I love thee!

The colors are fantastic, the textures of the papers are fantastic, the edges and patterns created within each layer are fantastic, and yes, the typography… mmmm! faantastic!

Look at this gorgeousness!

Oh how that S nestles and curls within the B!

Look at the delicious negative space within! *Happy sigh*

Spork!!

Fern — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 03:51:10 +0000

Dear Fork,

I understand that we haven’t spoken since I ran away with the dish, but I thought you should know that you have a son. His name is spork. He has your hair.

Sincerely,
Spoon

MailChimp’s Designers Are My Heroes

Fern — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:44:18 +0000

Seriously? This is an email campaign company we’re looking at here, and their Resources page is chock full of gorgeously designed images for each section of information. Now this is how you get people to read information that’s not exactly what you’d call scintillating. I feel like I’m browsing a bookstore full of delicious books when I look at the page!

This Email Security image is so intelligent and well-designed that I want a poster of it on my wall. (And it’s for Email Security!)

Thank you Mailchimp Designers!

Gorgeously presented data makes my heart happy.

This poster by Shelby White, self-described as designer and photographer based out of Seattle, is no exception. Ah the curves! The lines! Mm, yes, the color as well.

A Bike That Screams Your Name [Juri Zaech]

Fern — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 10:40:56 +0000

I wonder what names would be the hardest to adapt to a bike frame… I don’t want one with my name, but it’d be splendid to have one with some random goofy word like “spork.” I’m a huge fan of the word spork. And burbles. And gurgles. But mostly burbles.

This is one of my favorite ads of all time. It gets to me every time I see it. I love handwritten snail-mailed letters. May they never die!
