I’m quite taken with the retro-meets-naive style of these Victory Garden of Tomorrow posters, designed and screen printed by Portland OR’s Joe Wirtheim.

You can see the full collection of posters here, and read the backstory (this is a self-initiated design project) here.

Is this not the cutest idea for a birth announcement? Love the originality of the design thinking!

First seen in the French Paper sample room.

This identity for NYC optician Silver Lining is just gorgeous. Elegant, sophisticated and the B&W is just so classic. And look how well it translates into a little icon for eyewear. I would love to execute a script-based, hand-lettered kind of logo… just need the right client! Any takers?

First seen on Graphic ExchanGE. If anyone knows the designer, I’m happy to credit!

Do you love the Hipstamatic app? I do. And I also love typography. So it’s no coincidence that I’m completely smitten with Jason Hill’s hipstamatic-shot type poster.

The 16×24 prints are available through Jason’s Etsy shop.

Today I’m loving this sweet illustration by Joyce Hessebelberth. First llamas; now giraffes. Clearly I have a thing for animals with long necks!

This print is available at Spur Store.

I don’t do much advertising design, so I don’t comment on it much here. But this ad totally spoke to me. I love a strong concept. And I love the fact that the concept in this ad is so strong that no product shot is needed; no copy is needed… just the company name and you know exactly what the folks are staring at.
