I’m not exactly sure what the Golden Porsche Sessions designs are all about, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy looking at them. I love the way lomo photography is combined with modernist inspired typography to create fantastic vintage designs.

I thought this letterpress snow angel greeting card design made by Brooklyn Bookbinder, was pretty clever. I love how the snow angel part is imprinted into the card with no ink, it really looks like impressions in snow. You can purchase it right now in Brooklyn Bookbinder’s Etsy shop.

Dolce Press printed this letterpress business card that looks to be inspired by old wood type posters. It was designed by the client, Suodsey Penn, who has a pretty nice gallery of her work online. I especially like this poster by her:

Design and press studio enormouschampion has this great letterpressed cassette tape design on one of their cards. It has a handy space at the top of the tape to write your message, as if you were writing in the songs on the mix tape. The above photo is by Kristina Contes and shows [...]

Designer Mark Chapman just posted a little teaser shot of a really nice typeface that he is working on called Full Circle. The dots are supposed to represent where the point of the compass would be if it was drawn by hand. I just love the proportions, it’s dignified yet futuristic. Can’t [...]

As an unrelated note, I’d just like to say that I’m sorry for the lack of recent posts. I had been [...]

I like this type quote design by designer Narani. It’s a very nice looking style, and the quote is pretty interesting. Apparently the quote is by Mac Baumwell, as I found in this great list of type quotes from Typophile’s forum.

I’m liking this new type foundry called Latinotype. Their fonts are fresh, young, and professional looking, but only $10! It’s in spanish, but pretty easy to navigate even without knowing the language. I also love the parody on Linotype’s name.

These watercolor based graphics by Karen Kurycki made me smile instantly. I love the way she uses loosely dropped watercolor to give it some organic texture, but the careful layouts of the paint keep the designs graphic in nature.

I’m enamored with this proposed poster design for a film festival done by Horatio Lorente. I like it even better than the version that got printed, but the printed version is pretty good as well. Check out more of his design work in his Flickr set (I personally prefer that to navigating his [...]
