Love Made Visible

Another reason why I love Target: Super Target’s online recipe section. You can search by type of recipe and see top rated recipes by users and reviews and save favorites in your online recipe box. The recipes are submitted by both Super Target and by users of the site. Plus, the nutritional information for each recipe is shown on the right side of the interface.

The opening title sequence for the movie, Thank You For Smoking is so wonderful with graphics reminiscent of vintage cigarette packaging. Each introduction gets it’s own “brand” and the typography is so beautiful. For more type nerdiness, check out this post on Typographica where each typeface in the opener is credited. I can’t wait to see this movie.

The work of Yamauchi Kazuaki is so beautiful. Love the transparent quality of the inks and all the playful animals and people. Look for the less playful but still beautiful illustrations at the bottom of the list of work in the portfolio. The children’s fish illustrations and the literal illustrations of fish are both beautiful in their own right and shows the flexibility in style of work. Kazuaki mostly illustrates childrens’ books in Japan and oh, how I wish I could get some translated into English.

Steven Harrington‘s work has blown me away. The colors! The typography! The textures! The retro feel! I love it all. A really great portfolio.

Haven’t been to the design resource, Arkitip in awhile and was pleasantly surprised that they are carrying silkscreened limited-edition prints. Some gorgeous work on here, particularly the work from Evan Hecox.

Hermès has some of the best design in the business, especially with textiles. Love the patterns on these new Twilly skinny scarves, which are a great modern update on the classic Hermès scarf. Also, check out the playful patterns on the gorgeous enamel bangles.
