Modern History

I have recently been delving into my family history and family tree. The information I have collated however is in a rather non-digestable format.  I stumbled upon My Tree and Me and found these beautiful examples of family trees. Wouldn’t you love to have this on your wall, reminding you of your long and powerful genealogical  lineage!

Hello Budeez!

JDA, Inc. Retail Ready Design recently won the 2009 Gold Pentawards for these funky earphones for Audiovox.

As you can see, the earphones form the eyes of the faces of several individual characters.  It’s such clever and stylish packaging. And the consumer will identify with at least one of the characters.

They are all personified with their own names. This one is called Emo.

Sorry it has been a while since my last post. I have been sick, working hard for a book publisher and very busy in between.
Here’s some yummy lush wallpapers by Cath Kidston to make up for the hiatus.

Book Worms

I was browsing around a large bookstore on the weekend, and was floored by some of the cover designs. I particularly love the ornate vintage looking book covers but also the new releases and their clever use of embellishments.
