AisleOne. A visual journal on design, photography, film, music and culture.
So I’ve finally jumped on the bandwagon and created an AisleOne Twitter page. Think of it as an extension of AisleOne. The main focus will still be design but it will extend to other areas, for instance fashion, industrial design, painting, anything that really doesn’t fit what I have going here. The AisleOne Twitter will also include some random posts on life and things of that nature. So far it’s pretty addictive. Check it out and follow me on Twitter!
Another brilliant calendar created by Mytton Williams Design. The calendar consists of 12 pencils, one for each month and color coded to indicate the temperature. Days of the week are sharpened off. Simply, creative and useful. I love it.
You can buy a set for £12.00.
2009 calendar by a small design study in Brazil called Nu. It’s screenprinted on a 0.70 mm thick polypropylene sized at A1.
In portuguese, all days of the week, except for Saturday and Sunday, are referred to by numbers. Monday is Second, Tuesday is Third, etc.
The generous guys at Nu sent me a copy of each and they’re gorgeous up close.
You can check out the black version on my Flickr page.
Benjamin Lambinet is a 19 year old student from Paris, France who already has a ton of talent. It’s always great to find such young designers producing great work.
I also love the name of his site.
Carlos Tarrats is an exceptionally talented youngster working at American Apparel in Los Angeles. His work is so refreshing and reminds me of the classic designs from the 60’s. Love it!
I found this Flickr set of the super rare Die Neue Haas Grotesk type specimen book. For those of you that don’t know, Die Neue Haas Grotesk was the original name for Helvetica. You can get a glimpse of the book in the film Helvetica when Matthew Carter shows off his copy. It was also on display at the MOMA as part of an Helvetica exhibit.
What I would do to get my hands on a copy.
