I think that Kristina Sostarko’s designs are super rad. Wanting pieces like this to hang in my cottage full of modern furniture. Blog at inaluxe and Etsy shop.

gray hood

Gray hood showcases Dan Gneiding’s body of work, and it is so wonderful. I am sure you have seen it if you have spent any time in Anthropologie in the last year. He is the senior graphic designer for Urban Outfitters (Anthropologie’s sister company) and does freelance work as well. I have long been curious about the clothing labels that he has designed and pondered if they were all done by the same peson/firm and how I could get that job. ^_^

This from Lovely Package: Nearly two years ago Justina Sanchis left her position as Creative Director in one of the biggest design companies in Madrid to start her own company. Justina&Co.’s latest creation are these retro inspired designs for Paco Roncero’s tapas sauces and olive oil.
Wish that I saw these on the shelves of my markets. Thank you Lovely Package for sharing her beautiful work.

Found the ISO50 blog a few weeks back when they interviewed Hatch and have been really enjoying their content. I was happy to discover that their intern Alex Cornell is actually a student at my school, and in my department. Funny thing was that I was so familiar with his work without even knowing it. His pantone poster hangs outside the Graphic Design offices so I see it everyday I go to school and it always makes me smile. His portfolio is wonderful and he is becoming more and more well known as his student work on his fable Wes Anderson film festival travels around the interwebs. I particularly love the tilt shift photography he used for the project!

Here are some samples of Studio Kluif’s packaging and graphic design work. I am very fond of the work that they have done for Hema and Oilily.

Decor 8 introduced to me to my new favorite person (which is why I love social media by the way ^_^). Fifi Mandirac is a graphic designer and stylist in Paris. Check out the article here.
I love that she uses lots of color and her playful style. Her interests are akin to my own and it makes me happy when I find that there are so many people out there that I can relate to.

design shopping

I was so happy to hear that Urban Outfitters has teamed up with House Industries to feature items donning the designs of Alexander Girard. I am very excited to see their selection of textiles. I noticed a journal is already up in their online store.

Also I think that I may have to purchase these cool flashcards by Jargon Boy. I love the colors and the simple designs.
