To be found this week is much in the way of publications. There are beautiful books, metal type, respect to white space and dramatic contrast in type sizes between body and heading. Not to mention a great deal of care taken in choice and positioning of photography and illustration. Everything I adore about publication design, be it magazine or book, online or off. There is also patterns and blades, a Wall-E cases mod which’ll do well to cure any bout of laziness you have once the amount of work involved is witnessed and you’ll want to keep your hands anything but idle.

Graphic design and those creative souls who linger behind the elements of it are, at it’s core, fun, aren’t they? Graphic Design is quirky. It’s clever and it makes the world around us a better place to be in. This week’s links are a small showcase of the fun people have had in their work, from the quirky cards of King Popcorn, the still brilliant posters for Olivetti to the workspaces where creative wonders are produced and the advertising that leads us to the places where the seeds of our skills are planted.
