Shelby White made his ‘Typefaces of the World’ poster back in January, but has now made it round all the problems faced in printing it and it looks great. The detailed process to achieve white text on a black stock involved printing two layers of silver before overlaying the white on top. The result is a vivid and clear print though…nice. Buy your own here. See more shots here.

Spanish designer Atipo has a great portfolio available on his website, including this piece of redesigned film posters to match the styles of designers of each era the film was made. Including one of my favourites ‘Some Like It Hot’. All the projects are worth a look through, do it here.

Hengki Koentjoro is a photographer from Jakarta, who seems to specialise in underwater black and white photography. He’s got some beautiful images worth a look through. I’d like straight to his portfolio but frankly, Fubiz did a better job at showing the photos. See them here.

Design Boom have started to sell these ‘goggle umbrellas’ from design studio 25togo. ‘For all you detectives out there! Spies and scuba divers alike will appreciate the secret, goggle-shaped window offered by the bright umbrellas…’ See more photos and perhaps even buy one here. Don’t think I could pull it off…

Simon Walker is better known for his t-shirt designs than his type and logo work. To remedy this, take a look at some of his hand rendered type logos and experiments. It’s a great collection, and although it seems to adhere to a quite common style, it’s done with commandeering skill. Check it here.

For his final year degree project, designer Jordi Parra has created a device that creates a new experience of listening to Spotify at home. With a fantastic radio design, the standalone box essentially reads magnetic discs that instructs the player on what to play. A great new means of trading mixtapes and playlists, and it’ll be interesting to see how things turn out once the design moves on from the current prototype. Check out more shots and detailed info on how it all works here.

Off Limits is a photography project from Wonford St. James. The series comes from Japan, and seems to be studying the interactions/intrusions of the people with nature, and the nature with people. Would be great if he could get a bit more description alongside his shots but worth a flick through all the same. Check out the images here.

Steven Huybrechts directed this advert for Germany’s PRIME channel, showcasing big budget dramas from the US, namely HBO and Showtime. The solution presents each show with it’s own animated miniature diorama, which appear to act both as an advert for the channel, but also as the ident and spot for each of the shows when they air. The channel has both a great line up of shows, and a killer ident as well. Beats the BBC’s swimming hippos in my book… See how the rest of the shows are presented here.

My inability to read Japanese kanji makes crediting this a little harder, but check out this footage taken by YouTube user/blogger cat2525jp. With almost 90 uploads predominantly based in video footage shot whilst driving or on the train in and around Tokyo, there are some incredible results presenting a lot of depth and amazing scenery amidst what many would class incredibly urban and ugly. Check out some videos here. Check out his blog here.

archiebagnall: This morning was spent binding the final copy of my dissertation. Although I now have a lot more time to get on with the remaining juggernauht of project work, it’s a bit of a shame to see the dissertation go. Definitely an essay I’ve been wanting to write for a good long while. Hand in tomorrow at 1pm…

Oscar & Ewan Design created this identity and printed literature designs for the Terrace Gallery in London way back in 2007. The simple use of their type grid as well as the use of tracing paper to overlay the ‘title page’ of the document is a subtle but effective design move. Nice. See more of their work here.
