ceci ‘est pas un egg
just arrived in the studio: courtesy of deimion van der sloot & hidde meulenbeek a.k.a. studio zijspan: a beautiful 4 layer silkscreen of an egg… using the unlikely (but very effective) colour combination of fluorescent yellow, cyan, magenta and transparent matte white inks on hi-gloss white stock… many thanks!

it’s been a while since i checked out one of my favourite illustrators: siggi eggertsson
particularly worth a mention is his twitter avatar, this works so great at actual size and is typical of his work for me…
made with heart
…there has never been a better time to be a designer. There have never been more tools or platforms at our disposal. But paradoxically it has never been easier to create something dull. Beware rationality overtaking creative intuition, beware the ‘design thinkers’, the post rationalisers, the colour theorists and the comments box bore offs who just want to make you consistent with what the world has already seen. It’s a new world out there and as designers we need to be brave. Break conventions, break structure, break perceptions, break free. But never break your heart…
interesting read from wolff olins’ chief design officer chris moody
