I love these photos of an experiential environment built by Formavision, a company that develops original art campaigns that capture one’s imagination and reinforces the brand’s vision. This particular installation was for cutting edge fashion designer duo, Marithe and Francois Girbaud. Part of the construkt series, their goal was to create limited edition design [...]

It’s really something when you can take a great thing and make it better. Take these already classy products — the ever-popular Moleskine and the ultimate cool computer, the MacBook. They’ve been vamped up a notch (or two or three) with beautiful laser engravings. These designs are from engrave, where you can order online and [...]

A couple days ago I wrote about the sweet sophistication of scalloped edges. Today, I’m posting a piercing template that you can use for panel cards and whatever else your heart desires. I created it to fit perfectly on a 3.25 x 5.25 card, but you can use the design and modify it for your [...]

Jeff Canham is an artist and designer whose work has been in exhibitions around the world. His style hits me as a nautical-meets-hippie-surfer vibe. He’s certainly found himself a niche painting specialty signs and banners in Venice and New York, just to name a few locations. I think the two pieces with the flags pictured [...]
