stuff I stare at
matchbox labels
Matchbox labels from around the world but the majority are Eastern European from the 1950s and 60s.

ISO 216 specifies international standard (ISO) paper sizes used in most countries in the world today. It is the standard which defines the commonly available A4 paper size.
design : graphic :24 ways
24 ways is the advent calendar for web geeks. Each day throughout December we publish a daily dose of web design and development goodness to bring you all a little Christmas cheer.

Also known as International Style, the Swiss Style does not simply describe a style of graphic design made in Switzerland. It became famous through the art of very talented Swiss graphic designers, but it emerged in Russia, Germany and Netherlands in the 1920’s.

Marc has a Flickr account as well, though his blog is probably a better introduction. Everytime I go to buy something it’s already sold! He’s very, very good!

Check out his flickr stream. It free. It’s funny. I’m still waiting for Obama’s Inauguration to come come out as a poster.
design : graphic :heads of state
Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers have been working together in one form or another since 2002. After graduating Tyler School of Art’s militant design program, Kernevich and Summers began making silkscreen posters for Philadelphia’s independent music scene.
design : graphic :strawberryluna
Allison, but all of my work goes under the moniker strawberryluna. It’s just a name that I made up when I was first starting out because I liked the sound of it.
design : graphic :corita kent
When you think of Pop Art you think Warhol, The Factory, The “Velvets” and Celebrity. The Immaculate Heart Community and a bunch of nuns… get sort of overlooked. You might argue with the message but the execution is peerless. View the slideshow & buy the book!
design : graphic :saul bass
Great to see Brendan Dawes’ tribute to Saul Bass back online after years away. Dig around and get the ‘Hitchcock’ font, made from Bass’s own hand.
