Art direction and design for Hawthorn & Wren’s new identity, packaging, tags, embroidery and more by Kevin Cantrell Design.
It’s amazing how much more interesting these branding projects are with a bit of time spent on the presentation. The wood, arrangement, flowers and camera angles help the project come to live.
Just ordered this print for the office by Joey Roth.
Kelli Anderson just pulled off what might be the coolest wedding invite ever created with a paper record player included that plays a song written by the groom and bride. With a bit of paper folding the invite booklet reveals a needle that plays a flexi disc record. If I ever received an invite even close to this one I would feel obligated to buy them an amazing wedding present.
Get inspired looking at all of Kelli’s amazing work.



Designed by Ben LaFond and Dan Black, the new Arcade Fire tour posters are fantastic. From the color pallet to the design details they managed to visually capture the sound of the new album—The Suburbs.

Argentinean designer Marciano Sifoni created this experimental pop-up book while studying at Universidad de Buenos Aires, UBA. I can only imagine how much time went into creating this fantastic piece.

We Have a Strategic Plan. It’s Called Doing Things.
Baltimore Print Studios printed what’s possibly the best strategic plan out there. At a certain point it’s best to cut out all the “strategic planning” (procrastination) and start doing.
Excellent article by Craig Mod on the future of books in a digital world, content forms, sustainability, and book layout design. Plus, the layout of the article is fantastic!
Take 10-15 minutes to read this article & reblog it. I highly recommend it.
This morning I finally ordered business cards for New Ezra. For this first run I tried out Moo cards which allowed me to have 15 different variations of the back side.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a card holder?
