Sydney International Food Festival

I love food and love it even more when people do creative things like this with it! Check out these international flags made of food - advertisement for the {Sydney International Food Festival} this year. Jason, even you have to say this is pretty cool!

Thanks to {Steven} for finding this!

Words Hurt Too

This is an excellent typographic piece done by {Loducca}, a campaign associated with Children & Adolescents Reference Center - Words hurt too. Any kind of violence against children is a crime. The bruise and blood is made up of typography - phrases such as "Nobody loves you" or "I hate your voice". Found via {Fubiz}.

Quite amusing if you ask me...

I found this a while back and have since been thinking about whether or not it would be a good idea to post. Ideally I should probably stay away from anything that can be seen as inappropriate (condoms) or offensive (brutal leaders), but then again that just isn't me. So {here} it is, I found this to be extremely amusing and hope you will too! If only their parents had used protection...

Wanta Fanta?

I had seen this a while back and just came across it again today, so I thought I would share. I think this is an awesome advertisement. It is rather creative, however, I read a critic's comment that said "It is giving me Hannibal Lecter-type thoughts about her tongue." After reading that, I must admit it is kind of true. But, the bottom line is it definitely made me want to try some strawberry Fanta!

Feelin' the retail love...

I am sure you all know what happens when you have a relatively small mailbox and don't pick
up your mail for a few days - you get a bunch of mail, maybe a magazine you have been expecting and the dreaded bills. I was going through the pile, ready to throw a stack into my recycling bag, when a tiny envelope fell out from in between the pages of a catalog I had no interest in looking at. I opened it up to find it was from {Anthropologie}! Ok...so usually I get annoyed by over the top advertising tactics...but today, I felt special. I loved this! It was a coupon for 15% off because it is my birthday month! I have gotten this sort of thing before from other stores, but never packaged this way. It was well crafted and unique (though im sure millions were made). It was just that needed touch that made me immediately try and figure out where the nearest store was and how I was going to plan a weekend to go! Obviously...living in San Luis Obispo, this means either San Francisco or Santa Barbara - here I come!

Grammy-Inspired Typographic Art

So I was at the gym this morning, trying to get back into a habit of going regularly (we'll see
how that goes...), and I saw one of these Grammy ads in a magazine I was reading. I thought it was pretty awesome and wanted to share for those of you who love typography as much as I
do or just like cool designs!
