Hand-picked inspirations of the day: Day 48

The last day of September happened to be totally gloomy...A rain has set in and look like to chance it's over by the end of the end... yet there's a positive thing in it... Spent no time outdoors and thus more time online getting new inspirations for you... So the day seems to be not so bad at all :) Especially when it started with this...

Thanks Tina and Funk2000 for the pic

Awesome letterpress calendars by Norman's printery

I'm in love with letterpress prinitng effect... Especially when it is combined with nicely picked and implemented designs...That's exactly what Norman's printery does in their monthly calendars they've been designing and printing to mail to existing and prospective clients during 2010. Great idea. Great designs. Great print.

A collection of minimalistic Stephen King posters by Nick Tassone

Following a nicely designed in black and white pasta book, here's another set of great minimalistic black and white designs -  a collection of posters for Stephen King's books and movies made by Nick Tassone. Great use of minimum graphics remided me another nice set of posters designed for Star Wars universe.

Great feather art from Featherlady studio aka Julie Thompson

Well, I thought that leaf-cutting and dry leaves business cards were the most extraordinary arts featured here... I was wrong... Here's another one... Feather art by Featherlady. Though mostly feathers beas some indian art and animalism, but I persoanlly love those first two... Maybe even with some Japanese art there...

The Geometry of Pasta. Amazing book and amazing design

Though we are used to seeing cooking or cooking related books full of photos, and full color illustrations, but still there are exceptions. And of the recent one is The Geometry of Pasta. Great black and white design, basic yet aesthetic shapes, and of course geometry of patterns and shapes of pasta. Can't say it makes me feel like making some pasta, but it definitely makes me get back to Illustrator to design something :)

Hand-picked inspirations of the day: Day 47

Mid of the week. Caught some cold. Stayed inside all the day. Grr... Hate it... The funniest thing is that deadlines do not care whether there's any cold or no :) Have to live with it :) Yet, managed to get some time and get a new set of daily inspirations for you.
