This summer’s Netflix hit “Stranger Things” went old-school for its opening credits. Very interesting to see where they drew their inspiration.

This the Helvetica version of a Rubik’s cube by Txaber, a Bilbao-based designer. I would like to have one but I guess it is still only a concept.
A cute little typo animation created for an international label and package printing event by Matthew Buchanan, a designer and typographer from New Zealand.
This newsletter pop-up from Betype made me laugh! I love it when humor is used in boring things like a pop-up, or an ‘Error’ page, or a ‘Terms & Conditions’ page. The graphic designers will probably get the joke. For the rest of you, I have to explain that ‘Comic Sans‘ is a font that everyone loves to hate! Most trained designers find it horrible, but at the same time you see it used everywhere, often inappropriately. The child-like handwriting font is so infamous, there is even a movement to try to ban it! Check out also Comic Sans Criminal, a ‘rehabilitation’ site that “helps people like you, learn to use Comic Sans appropriately”!!
I don’t understand a word of Russian, but I just love these movie schedule posters for Pushkin Cinema, an underground movie theater that shows arthouse movies. Designed in cyrillic by Olga Vasik from Russia.
Nase POP is a street artist with a special love for graffiti lettering.
I especially love his series for the “36 days of type“ project where he painted one big colorful alphabet letter on a wall, each day for 36 days and posted it on his Instagram account.
Tabisso’s product range TYPOGRAPHIA is a unique collection of typographic lounge-chairs representing all letters from A-Z and numbers from 0-9, completed by a set of floor lamps with 25 punctuation marks.
I just saw these in a magazine and was wondering why didn’t anyone think of this before? The typographic lounge-chairs are probably too much for home decoration, but I find them a perfect touch for company lobbies or office space and showrooms.
In the other hand it would be fun for the girls to have 3 chairs with their initials: C, M & D. And an asterisk lamp would not be bad either.
I just discovered Martin O’Neill, a London-based illustrator & artist who creates beautiful collages for publishing, advertising, design & installation work.
In order to create his images he combines collage, silkscreen, photography, paint, and digital techniques. I especially love his type collages, there is so much going on, I wish I had larger photos of his work to be able to see the detail.
More lovely work on his website called appropriately “Cut it out“
I am in love with a pop-up book!
ABC 3D is created by French graphic designer Marion Bataille, also author of 10, Numero and Livre de Lettres. Actually, I just love all her books: the colors, the clever pop-ups that make one letter dissolve into another… Brilliant!
Also another fun version of the above video, but with a special ABC3D song (created by the band “Not Waving But Drowning”) inspired by the book.
Base Design Studio’s Thierry Brunfaut has released a series of typographic design advice posters, each of which was created in no more than five minutes.
