Pretty typography on vintage Cleanall package

I found this great photo on Flickr of a vintage “Whittemore’s Cleanall” package. I just love the typography and the little flourishes. The colors are breathtakingly beautiful as well.

This is pretty funny, but mostly sad because of how true it is.

Abstract Letraset typographic design experiments

Graphic designer Lander Janssens, of Grapplica (warning: his site resizes your window), has shared a wonderful collection of abstract typographic designs made with Letraset. I am amazed at how balanced and uncontrived these designs look, which is a lot harder to achieve in this type of work than you might think. I also [...]

Designer/Photographer Douglas Wilson has just uploaded a large Flickr set featuring Polaroid photos of found typography. It consists of mostly hand drawn type on signs, some printed type, and a nature photos thrown in occasionally to provide some nice interludes.

Of course, the type work and its environment must be interesting, but the actual photography must also be well done. [...]

Polaroid shaped hand held mirror

“Click”, by Colin O’Dowd, is a mirror shaped like a Polaroid picture. I think it’s a pretty nifty product for people that are into photography. It would be a fun mirror for those that use compact mirrors, but I would also like it just so that I could photograph it reflecting different scenes. [...]
