Amazing billboard created by Leo Burnett for Koleston Naturals hair color. Strategically placed against a beautiful (and natural) sea/sky backdrop, the die-cut hair changes color throughout the day. Brilliant. It would be fun to think of other settings that would provide unique results for a campaign like this. Like against a giant, healthy Sugar Maple that dramatically changes colors throughout the year. What else? (Thanks Keith.)
Just spotted the best looking tissue box I’ve ever seen. Actually, probably the only good looking tissue box I’ve ever seen. But regardless of its lack of competition, isn’t it fabulous? It even comes in colors! I would take that shiny blue one and put it in an all white bathroom and be happy as a clam. (Found at the always dependable MollaSpace)
We just launched a new website that we’re extremely proud of and I thought I’d share it with you. Our good friends over at M Pete Inc. were looking to establish their first online presence and we were thrilled to be able to help. Their Design + Build work is clean, modern and smart, and they wanted their website to reflect this. They already had the circle logo, so we decided that more circles could only be a good thing, right? Check out the full site here.
I’m obsessing over these paintings by Sharon Dowell. Love the colors. Love the layers. Love the perspective. Love. And she’s from Charlotte! Rad. See more of her stuff here. (Thanks Susan!)
It’s officially Spring here. Time for crazy days at the park. Have a great weekend friends!
I cannot stop looking at these photographs. Painter and photographer Alexa Meade’s canvas is the human body. Each of these photos is of a real person, painted to look like a painting. Breathtaking. See more here. (Thanks Photojojo)
Way back in 2008 I met someone who changed my life for the better. Kirtsy was throwing a party with Guy Kawasaki, at his house. We had spent the past 3 days toiling in the sun, stuffing swag bags, arranging tables, organizing shuttles and managing preparations for a party that was as grand as any of our weddings. Finally we all disappeared into the hidden corners of Guy’s house to change into our party clothes. The transformation when we all emerged was glorious. Everyone was sun-kissed, flushed with excitement and beautiful. As we walked around reveling in our creation, I…
Speaking as a lady (by genetics if not by behavior), I have to admit that I honestly appreciate a kind show of Gentlemanliness. Not that I need men to fall all over themselves fawning over me, but a door opened, nonchalantly but purposefully? Truly lovely. So when I stumbled today upon The Rules of a Gentleman, I was instantly charmed. One tip per day. So minimal. So well-designed with classic, old newspaper typography and styles. And so well written, straightforward, with a funny aside for each one. Enchanting. Please share with all the Gentlemen you know. And for what it’s…
Found this today on Mr. Lady’s Posterous. Lightsaber chopsticks. Awesome, right? Buy them here. And if you aren’t already familiar with Mr. Lady, you should be. She’s one of my most favoritest people. Go check her out here and here.
Fantastic sign posted on utility poles along my walk to work this morning. Then upon closer examination I noticed the call to action: (Click for bigger) This is one of those things that can turn a normal day into a great day. Know what I mean?
