I love the look and feel of this short animation. It kinda had my eyes in a whirl but I thought it was great. The twist at the end was a bit of a trip too. Check out more info on the film here.

Okay, time to get back in the swing of things. Here’s the ninth installment of Fred Everything’s Lazy Days Podcast. I have to say it’s my favorite one so far, and I know they’re going to keep getting better and better. Damn sexy smooth-ass house music, plain and simple. Artwork by yours truly. Stream it above or download it here. Enjoy the weekend.
Some fantastic new updates from Romain Lenancker. I love how colorful and dynamic his work is. These were a few of my favorite snaps, but loads more up on his site. Check them out!
“…A true packaging breakthrough, the Heinz Dip & Squeeze dual-function package gives ketchup lovers two ways to enjoy Heinz Ketchup: either peel back the lid for easy dipping, or tear off the tip to squeeze onto favorite foods…The new Heinz Dip & Squeeze product marks the first ketchup packet makeover for the foodservice industry in 42 years. In the past, on-the-go eaters have struggled to open multiple ketchup packets while worrying about making a mess…”
Let me start out by saying, GENIUS! I’ve always hated those wimpy ketchup packets you get at most places, especially at an In-N-Out drive through when the fries are super important. I love how it doubles as a dipping and squeeze package. There’s a cool video how it works here.
London based designer Shaz Madani has some really bold work. Her work has some very clean colors, strong typography and simple layouts, which when put together drive some very strong pieces. I’ve only posted a few pieces of her work, but her site is filled with gems.
I am currently taking an environmental design class, and so far it’s been pretty fun. Our current project is to create a way-finding and signage system for a building. It’s been a little difficult to think outside the box, but what’s most important is that there’s that level of consistency with all the signage.
I was really inspired by this signage done by Australian based studio, Collider for the Surry Hills Library in Sydney. A lot is left to the texture and materials the signage was built out of to communicate. Each module not only holds the description of the destination but also tilts towards that destination, which I thought was pretty damn cool. More images below the fold.
I came across a blog of sketches today by illustrator and designer Nebojsa Cvetkovic and couldn’t stop laughing. Some of them are so random to explain, but that’s what I loved about them. They are definitely worth a look at.
Friends Of Type recently released their first line of prints. “Always Play Amongst Friends” includes four prints that were individually designed by the members of Friends of Type, and letterpressed by enormouschampion. Get yours here.
Created by Daniele De Batté and Davide Sossi, Artiva Design is a creative studio located in Genoa, Italy. Their work is very clean, very minimal and very sexy. This newspaper poster was really cool.
