Project Love: Michelberger Reserved Plates

This twist on the traditional reserved sign in a restaurant is really making me smile! Small details making a huge difference at Michelberger, I love the hand crafted typography atop the traditional china plates. Designed by Georgia Hill (who's portfolio of hand lettering is pretty rad!)

Kelli Anderson: Paper Type Experiments

So I have blogged before about the incredible portfolio of Kelli Anderson, and these recent paper experiments are just as amazing. Made for her talk at Typo San Francisco, the paper lettering experiments really are something special, I would have loved to have seen this girl talk!

A time to reflect...

Well, today is my birthday... not a very big one, with nothing too exciting planned (I don't think I could beat last year at Disneyland), just another day, but for me its a time to reflect on the year that has gone past. Turning 27 means I officially move out of the 'mid twenties' age group and into the late category. Not a huge difference really, but still a shift. This coming week will be my 3 year London anniversary, the city that has taught me so much, about living every moment in a city that always has something to give. Birthdays always mean family and friends to me, and being so far away from the land I call home, definitely makes me miss my loved onces back home. Luckily, I have a wonderful group of pretty awesome friends who will be having a casual celebration in the park, lots of laughter, fun and (fingers crossed) sun.  Thanks to all who read this blog, it truly makes me smile when you comment and appreciate the blog.

Anyway, apologies for the slightly personal nature of this post, ignore if its not your thing!

Much love,

Lightning and Kinglyface

Plenty of gorgeous work on the website of London duo Lightning and Kinglyface, but this exploration (named (x-a)2 + (y-b) = r2) really took my fancy! Beautiful petry dishes of bright colours, really nice pieces of work! via Creative Journal.

Project Love: Trig

Wow, I absolutely couldn't go past this bright and beautiful branding project for Trig, designed by Olivia King. Strong geometric patterns and a complimentary colour palette really set this design aside from others!

Project Love: Romero and McPaul

Beautiful branding by my all time favourite branding company, Anagrama. Romero & McPaul is a premium brand specialising in the sale and design of traditional English style velvet slippers, with a twist. Love that gorgeous yellow packaging and the luxury feeling of the brand. Get me a pair!

Typeface Love: Oaf

I love this typeface designed by Voltage Ltd. Oaf is a hand painted, textural display face with loads of character! The description makes me smile...

Oaf doesn’t go to art museums or the opera. Oaf doesn’t eat paté, whatever that is. Oaf was painted on a wall by an eccentric Canadian with a paint roller. The result is an unusual combination of straight, evenly weighted strokes and rough, handmade charm.

Project Love: Suculent

Gorgeous restaurant branding project for Suculent, by Comite Studio. How nice is that super thick pulpy board they have used for the business card? Love the combination of processes such as stamps, mixed with natural paper stocks and careful placement of logo and branding.
