Blanka has posted detailed photos of the Wim Crouwel Vormgevers poster being printed.

I’m dying to buy one but with the dollar being so low, the poster would cost me $200. Might be worth it though.

I usually try not to write about work that’s already been posted on other design blogs, but every now and then I there’s a gem that has to be written about.

Like this gorgeous promotional postcard designed by Rich Lyons and Toby Evans of the UK. Substance/08 is a showcase website for a select group of final year students at the University College for the Creative Arts at Farnham, Surrey. Printed using 2-colour litho (black and fluoro green) on GFSmith 350gsm Pistachio Colorplan.

Nice Design Makes Me Hungry

Gorgeous packaging design by Henry Luong. Some people commented on the Dieline site that they don’t like the broken text. Personally I love it and I think it makes the design more interesting.
