This ad series for the Cape Times is brilliant. It features newsworthy and iconic photographs as “selfies“. The ads say, “You can’t get any closer to the news. Know all about it.” Quite awesome.

I’m in love with these 50th Anniversary Teapots from Crate and Barrel. Starting in December, each month will feature a custom-designed, limited-edition teapot. With only 200 of each design available, I’m sure these will be in high demand.
I don’t talk much about my job on here, but most days I spend my time with meltmedia, designing sites and applications for the web. My most recent project has been a refresh of our corporate website. It was a particularly fun, but quick project where I was able to design, develop, and write the site’s content.
Check out my post on meltmedia’s blog that details what we changed and why we changed it: A meltmedia.com Refresh. And check out the full meltmedia.com and tell me what you think!
I’m super excited for the next Wes Anderson film Moonrise Kingdom to be released later this month. Of course there is already plenty of fan artwork for the film. I love this poster by designer Matt Needle. Can’t wait!

Loving these hand-drawn Star Wars posters by Christopher Lee. He captures the key characters and scenes from each film in charming illustration. While Return of the Jedi is my favorite of the three, I think the original film’s poster is my favorite. And at only $35 each, it won’t break the bank to order all of them.

After dropping my iPhone on the sidewalk and seeing the ease at which the glass screen shatters, I decided to finally get myself an iPhone case. Because the iPhone body is so beautifully designed, I didn’t want one that covers up too much. So I prowled the internet, looking for a sleek case that would protect without feeling bulky. As a cherry on top, I also hoped to find one that could say something about me. After all, how do we express ourselves these days but with our tech, right?
I soon discovered Society6, an online collection of talented artists and designers selling their work in several forms: prints, iPhone cases, laptop skins, and t-shirts. It’s really quite incredible the variety of cool artwork to choose from.
After a few hours of browsing (their search function leaves a lot to be desired), I found the perfect case. It’s called “There and Back Again” by designer Reagan Lee. He designed a metro-style map of Middle Earth, featuring several fun stops like Rivendell and Helm’s Deep. The designer in me loves the clean lines and clever idea, while the nerd in me gets excited each time I see that Edoras and Isengard are just a quick train ride away.

In love with these amazingly detailed cityscapes by Atelier Olschinsky, a creative duo in Vienna, Austria. I was instantly drawn to the delicacy of the lines and graphic color blocks. Very cool.
Just a few of my favorite things combined into one adorable accessory: Diana Eng’s whimsical design, Asian inspired fashion, and things that look like food, but aren’t. I love these coin purses by the Project Runawy alum. They are made from recycled leather and each one is unique. They also include a printed fortune inside. While $65 is a little steep for a coin purse, I still can’t help but swoon.
