Melbourne Design Market
While away in Melbourne a week ago I was fortunate enough to visit the Melbourne Design Market. Although the layout and though are pretty similar to Adelaide’s Bower Bird Bazaar it was interesting to see what is popular in other states. While there I picked up some business cards with great typographic examples:

Bower Bird Business Cards
I went to Bower Bird Bazaar today and picked up some nice business cards. It’s interesting to see what other people are doing with business cards and how they fit in with their style guide. Bowerbird Bazaar is aimed at people who are looking for handmade or unique items. Which explains why my other half…

Little Golden Books
Although I keep an analogue journal for the things that inspire me I thought I would share some of the items I have been collecting lately. I’ve been collecting little golden books you can find at the supermarket for a couple of dollars. Obvisously I’m not the target market for little golden books by look…

Alex Fisher
One of my first post in this blog was about manhole covers in Japan. Alex Fisher has taken what I noticed in Japan one step further by getting charcoal impressions of the manhole covers. Although manhole covers aren’t something you would look at everyday from a designers point of view. It’s interesting to note the…

Lovely Packaging
Some lovely packaging from around the world. Some of these works are inspirational. Like everything in design the packaging is well considered. I wish some websites were like this, though web development is relatively new to the design world.

Screwed
I’m not much of wine drinker, or drinker so it’s pretty rare when I go to a liquor store. The one I went into the other day had an interesting bottle with some nice typographical elements to it. Most people tell me not to use caps since it screams for attention but this is exactly…

Women’s Weekly Recipe Cards
When cleaning out the house I found these interesting recipe cards from women’s weekly dating back from the 1970’s. Apart from the timely fade they were still in good condition. It was interesting to note how much food photography and design has change so much in the past 35 years. Today’s presentation of food is…

Inspirational Packaging
Despite the saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”, people do judge products by the packaging. I was quite impressed when I saw this blog post on abduzeedo. Although most of the work are student designs, it shows how much consideration and care is taken when designing the final product. No matter what the…

Business Cards and Flyers
Well the show came and went for another year. Instead of just going on rides and vomiting up my lunch I decided to collect a few business cards and flyers while I was there. Ambersun Alpacas – This one is quite simple but explains who they are and what they do. I haven’t had a look at…

3D Business Cards by Emerson Taymor
I caught this post on Design Zen and I have a feeling we’ll be seeing copy cat cards for years to come but it’s an original idea and I’m jealous I didn’t think of it first. Though I have a few ideas in the works, so I’m sure I’ll come up with something better! He…
