Witty Gift Tags

I hate buying wrapping paper. I always feel like I'm copping out, like I simply didn't take the time to look for a found texture that would suit my gift and the receiver, further feeding into the Target frenzy (don't get me wrong, they have beautiful stuff). Since I usually end up wrapping my gifts in junk mail, newspaper pages, magazine pages, or comic book pages, I think these tags would be a perfect aesthetic balance to my "trashy" look, while they warn curious on-lookers to stay out. Designed by Olive Manna and available here.

The Jazz 09 Journal

Elegant typography, interesting patterns, and well balanced layout, this design has it all and does it in only 2 colors. The Jazz 09 Journal is a great source for anyone looking to create their own memorable page layout, and a perfect example of how to use a well developed grid.

Finally, A Shirt That Suits Me

Need A Vacation? Me Too.

The Mid-Century Modernist features these wonderful illustrations for "Ideas for Vacationland Homes." Graphic, yet tactile, the colors are charming and fresh, making me yearn for a vacation far far away from all the craziness.

Interactive Book

"There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" book is one of the most interactive print pieces I've run across. Not only are the illustrations beautiful and the story entertaining, but everything about the book is interactive, from the cover that is removed like a coat, to the pages that tell the story from inside the stomach, to the woman's eyes who close as upi get to the end of the story. Illustrations done by Jeremy Holmes, art direction by Kristine Brogno.
