Sometimes I come across work on other sites that just deserves to be shouted about, and that of Ramon Marin fell into this category. Great stuff!

Sanda Zahirovic

Sanda Zahirovic

It seems the new year is a popular time to re-launch a website and we’ve got wind of another one, this time in the form of the talented Sanda Zahirovic. There’s some great multi-disciplined work on here, not least this (very clever) concept for a book in which the pictures are hidden in the french folds. This format allows the book to act as a border between the viewer and the images.

Ecofont

Ecofont

“After Dutch holey cheese, there now is a Dutch font with holes as well.” What looks at first glance to be an april fool, Ecofont is in fact an ingenious idea from SPRANQ to create a font that uses 20% less ink than a standard font. It’s free to download and free to use from here » Thanks to Vic for the link.

foneGloo

foneGloo

Our mate Vic down at Sell!Sell! let us know about a new project he’s been working on for O2. Vic tells us, “It’s a mischievous campaign where we invented a fake product called FoneGloo, which is a kind of gloop to stick your mobile phone to your face so you don’t lose it.”

“We designed a dodgy logo, packaging and website for it, and made a fake infomercial, and phone line. It was really fun to do.” Find out more here »


NameFlake

David Hunter took a novel approach to making his christmas cards this year; he generated his own designs using a tidy little app he built. He tells us, “[NameFlake] generates typographic snowflakes from inputted text. I made it using Processing, an open source language for creating graphics, animations, interactions and just about anything else.”
