Paper Jam Press

After spending a little too much time in front of the computer my friend Arianna thought she’d get back to basics and get her hands dirty. She makes these posters because cutting giant stacks of paper, setting wood type and scrubbing ink off her hands feels good.

Oh my, I just fell in love with these Trolleys by Müller Möbelfabrikation! I wish we had these in our studio, instead we have some slightly lame but at least affordable IKEA ones. Me want! (For more info click on the individual image)

This poster by Michael Kosmicki caught my eye. Lovely. I agree with @Aisleone, what a talent!

Web Canvas

I have mentioned Methodologie’s ‘Sizer‘ last year and it was received with a lot of interest. @Royalbacon just informed me that it has been entirely revamped and is now a Firefox Plug-in.

The ideal “canvas” size for web design is a moving target. To keep better track of that target, Methodologie created the Web Canvas. It helps UI designers design websites with the largest possible area without leaving behind the majority of Internet users. Super-handy tool! Bookmarked (yet again!)

Typedia

Typedia is a brand-new community website to classify typefaces and educate people about them. Think of it like a mix between IMDb and Wikipedia, but just for type. Anyone can join, add, and edit pages for typefaces or for the people behind the type.

Congrats to the fabulous crew behind Typedia! Well done!

AshiDashi means “stick out your feet” in Japanese. Guess it makes sense with these designs, doesn’t it? AshiDashi Notebook & Pencil Socks.

Czech Magnet Set

Czech Magnet Set

If you live in GB and have a little one, do yourself a favor and snag this set of wooden magnets, produced in Czechoslovakia in the 70s. What a fantastic gift! (Sombebody (Melissa & Doug??) should reproduce a similar toy, I’d buy it for Ella!)

Switzerland, the Brand

The inherent value of “Swiss made” brands is so high that the country’s government is currently considering new laws to protect it: “The government wants to replace vague laws with concrete rules to crack down on abuses of ‘made in Switzerland’ and Swiss cross labels” (“Protecting ‘Swiss made’ brand divides opinion,” swissinfo.ch, April 6, 2008). The movement is known in Switzerland as “the legislation project Swissness.”
