Stock Photo Lols...

Wow. I could not get over how dead on it was about stock photography!
Every day at work I browse stock photography sites to place in ads, brochures and websites and I always wonder about those strangely specific photos.

So x-height-ed!

Loving these type joke posters by Gary Nicholson. Especially the baseline one. It's a perfect mix of sound design (my husbands line of work) and graphic design. I think this might need to go up in our studio. Check out more of his work HERE.

Let's hope they'll be available for purchase soon!

All Around the World

I love globes. They teach you so much about the world we live in. I have one on my dining table and every time I sit at the table to eat I look at the globe and find out about another place in the world I had never known about. Thinking maybe I should start a collection?

This constellation globe is especially great!
