such clever wording you have!


"Cats Let Nothing Darken Their Roar 2008"

after being referred to this great site www.supermarkethq.com from my professor i have stumbled upon some great design finds that you can actually buy! its like etsy but for real designers, score!

this screen-printed calendar series comes from Noa Bembibre, who is based in finland, was being sold in november 2007. Im just in love with the weird phrases that are based around the spelling of the months and it is all achieved with a simple color change. they layout of the days is another simple beauty, it spans two weeks and has a color break on sundays to separate the space and also make it easier to navigate the calendar. The calendars come in a super swanky envelope too!

i was sad to find out it was out of stock, because i am such a type nerd. and it was only 32 bucks! such a steal.

so overall this website is amazing. expect to see more posts of supermarkethq.com finds!

Lodown Magazine!



import magazine alert.

Lodown magazine hails from berlin and is one of the most beautiful culture magazines i have seen in a while.

there are a combination of different paper weights for designated sections and perfect layout. i swear i only found one column that had rivers, the type setting everywhere else is impeccable.

this magazine is the epitome of hip!

Hell, Yes! fo' sho!



the new museum seems like a good time. this place houses contemporary art and the likes located at 235 bowery, NY, NY between stanton and rivington streets.

i learned of its reopening in their brand spankin new freestanding building in december while internetting through the new york times website. find that here!

the structure is pretty amazing to look at! the way the shifting blocks represent different galleries is pretty legit. These floors all that have different proportions to one another. some galleries being small and compact and others being spacious with high ceilings.

i haven't been here yet but i plan to head there soon. this place not only is full of some great contemporary art but the structure itself is beautiful!

check out more info about the new museum here!
