Vegas type graveyard

We love big letters and not the sort you read. This a photo collection of where Vegas' signs who have lost their neon go to die.

Winter is well and truly here...

The Time of Gifts branding has come to an end just as winter rears its head. Lovely work by Andrew Bannecker courtesy of CIA. The Eden design team are now rolling it out so look out for TV ads, posters and billboards appearing county wide. Clean up those skate boots and get knitting your winter hat.

The leaflet featured a spot silver and a die cut. Printed on thicker than usual paper it was designed to have the feel of a nativity scene when displayed.

No retouching required

I came across these lovely covers from Esquire and wondered at which point did mens magazine titles abandon design and decide to feature scantly clad ladies. It would take a brave art director to revert to the innovation of these designs from the late 50's and 60's, interestingly Paul Rand worked as art director for Esquire from 1936-41 and cues from his exquisite style can be referenced in these designs by Robert Benton. See the whole collection on the Esquire site, along with a few ladies…

We love infographics

We also love really really small things. Here is a great example of both!

Japan's bike eating robot

The Guardian bring us a wonderful solution to the problem of bicycle congestion in urban contexts.

I'd be happy for this robot to eat my bike!

Poster designs

Whilst blog-hopping I came across the fantastic posters created for the International Year of Astronomy by Simon Page. Love the feel of old Pelican book covers you get from the designs and they're so fitting of the subject. Simon's portfolio and blog can be found here...
