New Toy!

























Yesterday I went to an antique fair and while there I found a box full of movable metal type! I have all ways loved using traditional methods of printing and my interest grew for movable type when I saw Stephen Fry's documentary on the Gutenberg Press. The box is in a mess with type every where but I'm gunna have fun sorting it all out.

Think of a better place to store your baby













I went on a trip to Ikea the other day as I often do due to a strange gravitational pull I have towards it. While buying a storage box I became very amused by the warning sticker on it. I like to think of it as parenting tips – Do not store your baby in a box.

This Way Up!



















This is some inspired way finding for a car park in Melbourne by Axel Peemöller. I love the idea of playing around and misshaping the letters so they can only be viewed correctly from a certain angle nice play with perspective. His web site is really nice to mess around with as well. Will bring hours of joy (well maybe just minutes).
