Solar Power Pops

This is awesome! The super talented Kelli Anderson designed the infographics for a bright orange popsicle solar powered truck distributing free popsicles in New York City. The job lead by Jason Anello cleverly educates and advertises about solar power for the company Sungevity. Rad.

Pino Branding

The work by The Bond Agency and this Pino Branding is quite brilliant.

Betty & June designed by Ryan Feerer

The branding and packaging for Betty & June boutique in Abilene, Texas designed by Ryan Feerer has such a great vibe to it. It feels modernly fresh yet has a charming handmade quality.

Smart Design

Brown paper boxes tied up with string or a well-designed label get me every time, but put fun and meaningful things in them and you got me even more! So when I saw graphic designer Laura Berglund's work I smiled big and wanted to share them with you too. It is amazing what a little creativity and designs skills can do to enhance a simple staple. She has done some very fun projects like the above 'Get Out in the Sun' project where she designed an interactive adventure kit for the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art to help people get out and creatively explore and a 'leave behind portfolio box' (the above bottom two shots) that is really rad, see more here.

She also worked on this Anchor multimedia interactive crime app and collateral that many colleges should think about, it is incredibly smart design. Laura now works on great projects over at Design Ranch.

Emma Robertson

Graphic designer, Emma Robertson, recently introduced herself and it didn’t take me long before I was sending her fan mail. I love everything about her personal identity design, especially the color choice and the handwritten text.



Emma also just opened up a shop of knitted goods that are as adorable as the model, another one of her many titles. Emma, congrats on earning the right to call yourself cool.

Well Branded: Glacé

A favorite feature on my site is a series called Well Branded where I showcase beautiful identity packages.

One such example is Glacé in Kansas City. Creative partners Nathaniel Cooper and Brent Anderson thought of everything, the space is modern yet inviting and the print material is impeccable. I'm especially fond of the stickers to seal up takeout bags, they're just darling! (Via: Jordan Gray)

Tying the Knot

I'm a total sucker for a good wedding invitation so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I was completely floored by this invite by urbanINFLUENCE (a local fave of mine). Designed for art director Mike Mate's wedding, they are utterly charming. I love the summer camp feel and the gmund paper was the perfect choice. (If you'd like to see more uses of faux bois paper, I printed my husband's 30th Birthday invites on it). Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Charming Wedding

I can't get enough of the lovely wedding photos by Kamp Photography for Jessie and Tyler's charming wedding. The bride and groom are both graphic designers and the details of the event are delightfully well done.

I am pleased to hear about this gorgeous eco-chic line Letters Lubell. The letterpress collection includes notebooks, note cards, recipe cards, gift tags and more and custom printing is also offered.
