Today is the of Audrey Hepburn’s birthday. Rare Audrey Hepburn features–what else? Rare photos of the epitome of class herself. Check it out.
Textural Goodness
Our friend Fabien over at Graphic Exchange always has some beautiful posts. He recently featured Justin Crutchley’s design work, including Troop. Stunning textures and colors in these photos!
Mid-century Modern Meets the Future
Matthew Lyons work is a mix of retro and future, combining geometric shapes, desaturated colors, bold type, and occassionally some faux infographic elements. Really beautiful stuff!
Vintage Hangtag Chair
Félix Guyon has designed this crazy cool hangtag label chair. Folded up, it looks like–what else? A hangtag. Unfolded–and boom, you’ve got yourself some prime real estate.
NASA Apollo Manuals & Book Covers
Atilla Nagy at Space.Kinja.com has just posted a collection of some amazing NASA manual covers from Apollo and earlier missions. They feature some incredibly modern type. Head over to the post to see the full collection.
Vintage Bayer Aspirin Tin
So we just moved to Austin, TX, and they have a city-wide garage sale once a month that’s a mix of piles of nappy old clothes and a sprinkling of collectors with neat little trinkets hidden amongst their old cowboy boots and postcards. Not quite Alameda, but still addictive.
This tin actually has the original tablets in it. The tin doesn’t open like you’d think- instead of just pulling the lid up like an Altoids tin, you have to push the red button on the top to pop it open. I looked like an idiot trying to pry the thing open at first. It’s a pretty clever little contraption.
What happened to companies caring more about user experience than profits? My company (YouSmellSoap.com) will always opt for lower margins and nicer packaging. Like that plug I just did?
German Lotto Game
I came across this vintage german lotto board game on Etsy and couldn’t help but notice the funky type. I couldn’t find any information on the game, so the date is TBD. Still good typographic inspiration though!
For Sale on Etsy.
