I’m addicted to t-shirts, especially shirts with sweet-ass designs slapped on them. Lifestyle brand Ser-vice has an excellent line of t-shirts, long sleeve shirts and pillows that feature minimal but beautiful graphic design.

Helvetica Blu-ray Experimental Jetset Limited Edition

A Blu-ray version of the Helvetivca documentary has been announced today. This limited-edition versions comes in a 12″ gatefold record cover created by amazingly talented Experimental Jetset. It contains the Blu-ray disc on one side and a fold-out poster in the other, all housed in a custom black cloth record bag. 1,500 copies have been produced and each copy is signed by director Gary Hustwit.

This thing is freakin’ gorgeous! I want one so bad but the price is a little steep, $125. You can pre-order it now and it will ship on May 6th. There’s also a standard Blu-ray version that’s only $26.

Now I have to explain to my wife why I’m spending $125 on a DVD.
