I absolutely love this booklet/stationary by German studio Markwald & Neusitzer. Gorgeous and inspiring. Makes me want to fire up Illustrator.

Burt Bacharach Vinyl Record Cover

This weekend I was in Virgin and I picked up this Burt Bacharach record. Not because I’m a fan of his music but because I love the slip cover design. So simple but beautiful. Great example of the International Typographic Style. I have to do some investigating and find out who designed this.

Extra credit points for anyone who can name that typeface.

You can check out more photos of this lovely cover on my Flickr page.
