WatchLove all these two minute videos for the EF Language Schools it was hard to pick my favorite. The four videos highlighting Beijing, Barcelona, Paris, and London are on point with their shots, the typography and overall feel of happiness and excitement. They all have me wanting to learn the language, and you can pick up a little something just by watching. The line “live the language”...

WatchDaniel Weil sketches a lot, nearly 400 sketchbooks since 1978. At times he works on different projects, yet keep them in on sketchbook as one idea can generate new ideas for another project. His books has become a record of his creative process as well as a diary.

Amazing work by Roy Staab which in time, faster than others his work will breakdown and return back to nature. The work is beautiful, as well as simple in materials.

Keep coming across Winnipeg illustrator Ray Fenwick, and love all his work, especially the stuff with a splash of humor. He’s produced work for GOOD to the New York Times, and a number of design blogs as of late. Check his work out on his portfolio site, Flickr, and you can’t be a young hip design/illustrator without a Twitter account. This was the first piece I saw of Ray...

WatchJust got my hands on season two (which I’m re-watching) and season three of Mad Men. While they drink a lot, they sure smoke even more. Check out every cigarette smoked on Mad Men.
I’ve had a bunch of unopened Altoids in my kitchen cabinet for the past year plus from my time at Paper Magazine. It was for some promotional event, so Altoids sent over boxes of Altoids prior to when I started. When I started my boss encouraged me to take as many as I wanted. I did along with a couple of free Red Bulls. Fast forward a year and most of them still sit in my cabinet. ...

Been looking at Alex Prior’s portfolio site for about fifty-ish-minutes and there isn’t a project I don’t love. This recent graduate has some ill concepts and gorgeous typography. He has also found himself getting plenty of praise from D&AD as well.

Dig the work of Chris Silas Neal who works up at Greenpoint’s Pencil Factory. His handwritten typography, colors, and textures makes his work really interesting and inspiring. My favorite piece is the above Fleet Foxes poster. I just love the color combo with the rad illustrations.

WatchLeague of Two is a short show about successful collaborators and what they do exactly, such as Andy Spade and Anthony Sperduti. Except know one really knows what they do, they just do…awesome things. Such as the the grand opening of the Going out of Business store, which is going out of business of course. All I want to do is have plenty of money to do random shit like this with a couple...

I haven’t had Starbucks Coffee in a couple months, by choice. I just don’t find it very good, and is normally over sugared or burnt. I’ve recently quit coffee all together, going on two months. I’ve been drinking lots of green tea, and haven’t missed coffee much since. Yet there are plenty of people who do drink coffee, and they normally head to Starbucks. In March...

That is totally that typeface…I just don’t know what it is. The end is near, well at least help is near for those with the typeface on the tip of their tongue. Fonts In Use helps us with that matching game exactly as well as some interesting facts of the project.

Great pieces of the past years Vogue’s overlapped, of each countries publication. It’s really cool to see which colors each country picks, the positioning of the cover model, and type sizes they use. I couldn’t find the artist right off, but these are a couple of my favorites, with rest here.

WatchAs I have said before, not a huge movie buff, I still haven’t seen Slumdog Millionaire or any of the Die Hards, kill me. I just wait until it comes to me. Like this…Exit Through the Gift Shop. So enjoy it here, like I did! Warning…after you watch 72 minutes it will ask you to stop watching for thirty-minutes. So just reload it, and try to remember where you stopped and finish it...

Intelligence in Lifestyle is one good looking publication. Better known as IL, this monthly magazine for men, but also read by women is sold with Italy’s II Sole 24 ORE newspaper. I have no idea what any of it says, but the covers, as well as their inside layout and infographics blow me away with their perfection. Check out their Flickr with all the covers and some of the inside layout.
