The excellent new online book seller Counter Print has created this wonderful limited edition canvas bags. It has a bottom gusset, long handle and is made from 8oz cotton canvas. You can receive one free, while stocks last, on orders above £40 or purchase it on its own for £6.00.
The excellent design shop Almost Modern has added a bunch of juicy work to their site. A lot of drool-age going on right now. I do wish that they’d photography their work a little better.
Here’s an awesome collection of vintage maps that Scott Hansen has compiled. I love this kind of stuff and I always scour eBay for these gems. The simplicity of these cover designs is fantastic. I wish they still looked this good. We now have to settle for this kind of crap.
Check out this stunning poster by the legendary Josef Müller-Brockmann. I’ve never seen this poster design before so it’s gotten me really excited! I’ll have to check my Brockmann books to see if it’s in there, but I don’t recall ever seeing it.
The color palette and the use of a few circles to create the shape of a record make this design stunning. But my favorite part of it all is how the typography, even though staggered, still lines up to a sound grid system. Brilliant.
You can grab this poster on eBay for $300. I’m so tempted.
Excellent work by Berlin based studio, 123buero. I can get lost in their clean, minimal design.
Counter-print.co.uk is a new site aimed at the sale of out of print and hard to find Art & Design related material. I’ve been wanting something like this for a long time. The site already has a bunch of gems on there, like this Stedelijk Museum catalog designed by Wim Crouwel. This site’s not going to be kind on my wallet.
