Recently one of my photos was featured in "A Bigger Splash: Your favourite places to swim – A guide to some of the world's most interesting and exciting swim destinations" by Paul Smith. I took the photo at Les Bains des Docks. A really exciting place to swim (and relax) in Le Havre, France. The Read article…

Easy Fortune
This spring everyone needs a little fortune. These Fortune Cookie Coin Purses made by Diana Eng are made from recycled leather and each purse has a unique number so you can track its origin. I've always wished for a website like The Cutting Class: easy and precise insight on how garments are technically achieved. These Read article…
Give type a face
The right typeface can encourage people to read your message. Listen what the German King of Typefaces, Erik Spiekermann has to say about new visual languages, design processes, the analogies of music and typography. House Industry is a wonderful type foundry which has a genuine love for their subject matter. See type at work in Read article…
Confetti fever?
The tsunami of obesity which is unfurling across the world, seems to be coming along with quite some amounts of confetti. The worldwide obesity issue is absolutely no reason to celebrate, but Yahoo found another reason to pop out some confetti: their new Mail Beta. If you need some help creating a confetti celebration, ask Read article…
Skippy
Like any graphic designer I'm fond of Pantone colors, so of course I also love these Pantone cookies. In stead of baking cookies, you can also cook your shirt! Or take your spacehopper and hop around. These photos by Christoph Gielen look like jewelry. Read why I like my short hair. Or watch this tragic Read article…
Do the crayola
The new year will be all about change. Time for some fresh projects, a good dose of coziness (decorating Studio Sapique, maybe adding this stamp rug or these cactus poofs) and most of all real action (inspired by DO lectures). Time to bake the perfect crusty bread thanks to tips&tricks by French chef Richard Bertinet. Read article…
Seven Seas
Have look at these photos of Berlin. Or get down under for the drapery clothing by Morrison. Travel the world like Jen and treat your family on a pizza tour. Don't forget to bring them a lousy T-shirt. And read what Dezeen has to say about pizza (and food) in their Food & Design Report. Read article…
Mjölky Way
Mjölk built a tower of men for their lookbook. Love the idea! The Type Jockeys created a pretty blue man group CD cover for the Austrian band Federspiel. Add some swedishness to your Year End! And some gloss too! Or watch bad things that could happen. And even if it's been over a year, this Read article…
Scary bakery
I love these spiders for Halloween. And also Ikea is making me want to bake something delicious. Like these cinnamon rolls by Marina Aurora. Let's add some confetti for a sense of nostalgia and lighthearted fun. Don't forget to eat 1 apple a day, … Or to transform dull light switches into smiling faces!
Colorless
Sometimes I wish I only liked wearing ONE color. Like these people. For years I've been wearing a lot of black with a hint of color or non-color from time to time. I could never wear white everyday. Too afraid of stains. However stains are a must on this pretty Underfull tablecloth. Actually my Read article…
