Thought Bubble -> Cloud -> Puddle

Fern — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 02:54:01 +0000

This is thoroughly charming. My thought bubbles frequently do strange things, but never quite like this. But the next time they envelop my head, I’m making them melt into a puddle at my feet that I can jump and splash in!

Take a look at JWT’s site as well. (i.e. PLAY with it.) I love the way it works!

La Figa: Visions of Food and Form

Fern — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:46:08 +0000

The body is art. Food is art.
Who knew that combined, they’d make a landscape,
also art!

It’s beautiful, it’s playful.

Created by Tiberio Simone and Matt Freedman. Learn more at La Figa.

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!

Mmmhhh! [Alessandro Gottardo]

(The title being the sound of appreciation I involuntarily made when I saw this image.) This is flippin’ fantastic.

I love images that make your mind flip. And this guy’s illustrations are full of mind flips. Not brain-hurting mind-numbing mental gymnastics… but a (probably deceptively) simple, rather whimsical wit-flip that I thoroughly enjoy.

He’s got a book out too… I know what I want for Christmas!

Sweeney Todd [Alphabet Arm Design]

Fern — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 08:01:33 +0000

Bloody barber pole! For the bloody barber Sweeney Todd. So smart.

I’m also a fan of the texture… and the color… and the type… and the lovely treatment around the type…

Pinch the Earth! Skin 2 [Mehmet Ali Uysal]

Fern — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 09:16:42 +0000

Pinch the Earth!

Excuse my laziness as I quote Pedro Costa Neve verbatim…

“The town of Chaudfontaine, in collaboration with the Les Ateliers d’Art Contemporain association (under the Belgian Presidency of the European Union), focuses its environmental policy on the protection of biodiversity and natural sites.

Above, a clothespin lifts the upper layer of the lawn six meters high (20 feet). The artist plays with scale and proportions: we travel to Gulliver’s universe to remind us that we walk on the skin of planet Earth.”
