I love the little trend of setting up those tiny railroad set figures to look like they are interacting with the real world and then taking photos of them. I always dreamed of encountering mini people in my house after reading books like The Borrowers, and these photos evoke that sense of longing for […]
Links to above photos: bird, trees, horse, pillows.
VioletJulia is an artist that takes amazing Polaroid photos. The compositions are minimal and go well with the muted colors of Polaroid film. I find myself more and more attracted to this Lo-fi style of photography. There’s something about it that creates a serene and […]
I love these designs made by Flickr user “Anita J+”. She used books to form the shapes of trees and flowers for these environmental awareness posters. The rest of her stuff is top notch as well, although I can’t find an official website besides her Flickr account.
I found some nice design work by Richard Perez. Looks like his site is under construction for now, but you can view his stuff on his Flickr account for now. I really love the way he experiments with shapes and colors.

I find that when I choose color schemes for my designs I end up falling back to my favorite colors over and over again, so when I need variety I’ve been using Adobe’s Kuler to find color inspiration. I love the way it works with CS3 so easily, and it seems to be the […]

Paulete Matos is working on a great photo set project called “Rhythms”. The photos all consist of a single person with an umbrella walking on a gray textured road. It’s a simple idea, but well executed.
Oomingmak Design Company makes some fantastic gig poster designs. I love the vintage color palette and the type work is spot on.
I’ve come a cross a lot more nice photography of typography since the last time, here’s five more of my favorites. The photos link to their respective Flickr pages.
