Organic Packaging

Those of you who will be in London soon, should definitely check out the Whole Foods market in Kensington. I have never seen such a beautiful presentation. And the selected products are all so well designed.


















































I love the trend for handwritten text and quirky illustrations!

Klinch

I like the posters for the Klinch parties at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. I wonder who has made them.

Millais

Today I went to the Millais exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum. Millais is mostly known from this romantic painting of Ophelia.













There was also a section of contemporary art pieces, which have been influenced by Millais's Ophelia. The video of 'Where the wild roses grow' from Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue came to my mind, but the Van Gogh museum has found more reinterpretations.

To celebrate the exhibition the Van Gogh Museum started a Flickr group, showing more work inspired by Millais. The photo below (made by mpsepulvedaster) made me laugh!

A great discovery!

When I like a logo, I always try to find out who is the designer behind it, and how it's made. But it's not always easy to find information. So I am very happy that I have just found an online database with loads of logo's, composed by Hans Stol. For every logo he shows who has designed it, and which typefaces and colours have been used.

I am not allowed to publish an example, but I urge you to take a look. (For the Dutch speakers: when you click on 'home' you move to an extensive lecture about corp
orate identity. Looks interesting too.)

Enrique H's treatment of type inspires me. The images below are details of his brochures for Theater Bellevue.
