Design Inspiration: Cristiana Couceiro

Christiana Couceiro is a freelance illustrator, working and living in Lisbon, Portugal. Her collages are really inspiring... very mid-century. And I just love her art series on her website. Check it out!

New Site: IsItBeer30.com

So, I've created a new website for fun:
isitbeer30.com

When you go to it, it either tells you yes or no.. and if the answer is no, you can click "But I want it to be" and then it will be yes.

I think its funny... and I actually go there when I'm wondering.. "Is is beer 30?" Let me know what you think!

"It makes sense to me, does it to you?"

REYKA Vodka Re-Design

reyka vodka re-design

I just love REYKA Vodka's new re-design. The bottle looks so fresh and all details are beautifully flushed out.. from the icons at the bottom to the subtle geometric background pattern that embraces the scalloped label edge and perforation. The Islandic-esque blue/grey warmed by wooden cork and orange brings it all together. Their website doesn't do this bottle justice... all pixel-y and flash with a focus on cluttered degraded type. I just like the opening two frames - simple like the bottle.  - sara cannon

Mouse Movement Experiment

I decided one day that I would track my mouse movement workflow for 2 days with the program IOGraph.  Here are the results. The large spots are when I left my computer for lunch or something like that. I don't think this will mean anything to you but I'm obsessed with visual data so here's the experiment:

Day 1:

Day 2:

After two work days I decided to stop. You can check the titles of the images if you want an accurate time stamp. (I really dont know why you would.)
