    It’s good to be back. Hope everyone had a great week.

    While I was away, lifestyle brand Nooka released this super minimal, ridiculously stylish sunglasses. The shades feature a polymer injected frame, blue lenses with silver mirror finish and are available in 6 fancy colors.

    I’m a huge fan of Nooka, and with the Mercury they continue their simple approach in both aesthetic and construction. It’s a great addition to their already excellent lineup. Matt and crew are drinking the good stuff over there.

    I’m taking a short, but much needed vacation over the next few days, so I won’t be posting anything new until the end of the week. It will be over before you know it. Ciao.

    I think it’s pretty clear that I’m a huge fan of Build’s work. Michael always produces top-notch work in an aesthetic that gets me to drool every time. So you can imagine my delight when I first saw this stunner.

    It’s a limited edition poster for the documentary film, Coast Modern. Sized at 33 1/8″ x 23 7/16″ and printed on 100lb Topkote stock in Pantone 806, which is an eye-popping fluorescent color. The poster will be available soon from the Coast Modern site and only 100 prints will be made. Gotta grab one of these!

    I hope all of you US readers out there had a great Memorial Day weekend. I had a great time, and was badly burned by the sun.

    To kick off the week, we have this mind-boggling web trend map by Information Architects. The map shows the 140 most influential people on Twitter, sorted by #name #handle #category #influence #activity — plus when each of them first joined Twitter, along with their first tweet. You can download a full size PDF to see all of the details.

    The poster is sized at A0 (841mm × 1189mm) and will be printed on high quality paper, with parts of it in PP-Varnish. Only 1,000 copies will be printed but you can pre-order one now.

    I really loved this poster for it’s International Typographic Style look, but then I quicklyrealized that it’s very similar to another poster that I love. Hmmm.

    Anyway, design studio Jung + Wenig has a solid portfolio worth checking out.

    Process Journal is a quarterly design publication by Australian studio Hunt, that highlights the very best of Australian and International design.

    The first edition features work by Unit Editions, Heydays, Norm, Spin, Kim Holtermand, and more.

    The journal is printed on Knight Velluem stock using a 4 Colour Process with blind emboss. It looks stunning in the photos, and must be amazing in person. You can pick one up for $25.

    The Sameness Booklet

    The art and cultural movement, De Stijl, promoted abstraction by simplify design to its most basic elements and utilizing vertical and horizontal orientations and primary colors.

    The Sameness Booklet by Alex Fuller and Gabe Usadel pays homage to this Dutch movement with some beautiful, but simple spreads using only red, black and white. This stunning piece is offset printed and is typeset in Akzidenz Grotesk. Alex and Gabe are also responsible for a equally wonderful booklet titled: The Incredible Journey that is Consciousness.

    You can order a copy of the book for $12.

    Unit: Design/Research 02 — Space & Structure

    Issue two of the excellent newspaper series by Unit Editions takes a look at Form, a quarterly art magazine published in Great Britain between 1966 and 1969. The magazine includes an interview with Philip Steadman, co-editor, publisher and designer of the magazine.

    I’ve seen only a handful of copies of Form for sale over the last few years, but never picked one up. That has now changed. This is probably going to be my new obsession.

    U:D/R 02 is edited by Tony Brook & Adrian Shaughnessy, and designed by the awesome studio Spin. The newspaper is 64pp, 4-colour tabloid (folded to 290 x 190mm) with card wrapper printed 1 PMS. You can grab a copy for £7.50.

    Letterheads

    I very much enjoy this letterhead design by Anton Stankowski. The grid-based structure and asymmetrical layout create a really interesting visual. This letterhead is part of James Phillips Williams’ collection that he often features on his blog, Amass. Check out the site, it’s a keeper. He also owns another gorgeous letterhead that was designed by Herbert Bayer.

    If you want more letterhead goodness, head over to the blog Letterheady. The site features a ton of excellent letterhead designs of well known figures like Babe Ruth and Henry Ford. My personal favorites are the letterheads of Houdini and Charlie Chaplin. I can surf this site all day long.
