Every month Wired asks contributors to illustrate the edition number of their magazine. Melbourne-based design studio A Friend of Mine took the unconventional approach of working with artist Carla Grbac to weave some sexy custom type. (via design work life)
Fun print by Eva Juliet available on her Etsy site.
Match installations are hot! Really beautiful work by Paris-based artist Claire Fontaine at Helena Papadopoulos in Athens, on display now through January 15, 2011. The last image is from a 2004 show at the Front Room. See also the work of Chicago artist Pei-San Ng. (via contemporary art daily)
Update: and also this.
Based on the huge response to the embroidery work of Lauren DiCioccio last week I’m sure many of you will enjoy this CMYK typography by London-based Evelin Kasikov. Evelyn uses thread to mimic moiré patterns used by printers, where multiple color grids are overlapped to create shapes of blended color. (via ape on the moon)
Book cover design by Sean Yendrys for Soliloquies Anthology, the literary journal of Concordia University, which features fiction and poetry from writers all across Canada. If you like this, also check out the reception desk at W+K Delhi.
I’m not a fan of ginger beer, but you’d have difficulty preventing me from purchasing a case of Mille Plateaux for the packaging alone. Design and illustration by Monique Kneepkens. (via dieline)
Stumbled on this gorgeous Chicago neighborhoods print over at These Are Things, a collaboration between Jen Adrion and Omar Noory out of Columbus, Ohio. They’ve also got maps for Manhattan, Brooklyn, San Francisco, LA, DC, and of course Columbus.
