My sister Catherine & I are featured in this month’s issue of Nonpareil Magazine. Well, not us, but our work. Inspired by the Fall 2010 collection of New York fashion designer Thakoon, we put together an idea for a very modern mixer, a little party brides & grooms can have with their wedding party before the big event. Catherine and I did the concept work, I designed all the printables, Catherine did most of the styling and she shot the whole thing. Look for unisex colours, lots of texture and plenty of personal touches.
Here’s a peek:
A shout out to Garnish for providing us with all the packaging and food presentation supplies.
You can see the whole issue over at Nonpareil Magazine (our feature starts on page 58). If you like the printables (the invite, the CD label and playlist card and all the stickers), you can download templates via Nonpareil.
[edited: Apparently the Nonpareil download links are no more! If you'd like the templates, just shoot me a note via my contact page and I'd be happy to email a zip file to you.]
The crew over at Garnish are running a super-fun promotion: Random Acts of Garnish. The premise – it’s easier than you think to make someone smile. Here are some of the fun ideas they’ve come up with.
How about coffee to go?
Or some sweet socks for a friend who likes to have cute tootsies?
Or my personal fave to date, alphabet cookies. These spell out you are awesome.
Of course, the star of the show is the thought you put into making someone smile. But those sweet printables don’t hurt either. Here’s what we came up with to help make it as easy as possible to make someone’s day:
To add to the fun, Garnish will feature your random act of garnish on their blog. Sign up for the promo, send in your pic and share your inspiration with the interwebs. Fun, right? I think so.
Get the deets here, over at the Garnish blog.
Today I’m loving this hand-lettered poster for the film Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, by Kellerhouse Inc.
“One is happy as a result of one’s own efforts, once one knows of the necessary ingredients of happiness – simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self-denial to a point, love of work, and, above all, a clear conscience. Happiness is no vague dream, of that I now feel certain.”
— George Sand
Ack. I am kind of in love with this potential wallpaper by Toronto illustrator and designer, Alanna Cavanagh.
Alanna, if you’re listening, I’ll take the black, please and thanks!
