Picasso + Typography
Svetlana Lomakina (first time in my life that I have ever written about anyone else with my name—so I am quite excited!) created a limited edition (there will only be 50 printed) Picasso + Typography Letterpress print, to combine her love of both Picasso and typography. She says, “I love to draw letters very much, for me it’s some kind of meditation, every letter is like a special alive character.” Check out the print below, and visit her website and blog for more of her awesome hand lettering work!

The Wander Postcard Project
I think I secretly (maybe not so secretly now) am starting to have a slight obsession with Tumblr! You can click on one post and the next thing you know, it’s three hours later and you’ve just gotten lost in a world of awesome design. Sometime last week I came across The Wander Postcard Project—a collection of postcards from “everywhere, yet nowhere at once” created by illustrators and designers from all over the world. Check out a few of my favorites below and make sure to check out their Tumblr page as new postcards are being added frequently to their growing online collection.

Oreo Turns 100!
Flipping through Adweek at work, I came across some really clever ads to celebrate Oreo’s 100 Birthday! The idea of the ads is to pull out events in history from the past 100 years, and incorporate the Oreo brand in them. Although some work better than others, the entire concept is really genius and memorable. Which are you favorites? …and yes, the very first text message really was sent in 1992!
