Unfortunately I don’t own the vinyl for Cannonball Adderley with Bill Evans / Know What I Mean. This aside, it remains a fantastic start to a Wednesday all the same. Waltz For Debby

Leo Burnett Advertising Agency have made really creative use of billboard space to create this McDonald&#8217;s Advertisement. The billboard becomes a sundial, pointing the public to which McDonald&#8217;s foods are best at certain times of the day. See more of the agency&#8217;s work here.

I&#8217;m getting more and more into McSweeny&#8217;s publications as of late. The San Fransisco Panorama is a one off edition of McSweeny&#8217;s Quarterly, and presents the edition as a Sunday-edition sized newspaper. Comprised of original writing about the Bay area in particular, other columns about other bits generally, and original comic book work, I would love of a copy of this. Shame it costs a fair bit to import. Buy a copy here. See photos of the edition here.

After yesterday’s Chris Ware cover I came across this piece, commissioned for one of the 2009 This American Life live events.

It’s great to see Ware’s work translated to the screen, though there’s something about the design of his layout spreads that’s lost through the medium. That aside the tone is perfect.

Atelier 1A designed the branding identity for &#8216;The Earl of Marchmont&#8217; pub in Edinburgh. In their words of the design process&#8230; —EN When the Ross Family took over a pub in Edinburgh named after Patrick Hume, the 1st Earl of Marchmont they wanted to modernise it&#8217;s interior, menue and it&#8217;s image but pay tribute to it&#8217;s heritage. A mix of minimal type, heraldic illustrations and imagery of the man himself lend a modern &amp; sophisticated quality to this small but cozy pub. Elements of the package don&#8217;t work 100% for me, but the the mark is excellent and completely matches the tone they&#8217;re going for. Check out some more photos here.

Chris Ware designed this lovely cover for the summer 2009 edition of Granta, themed on the topic of Chicago. It&#8217;s a shame there doesn&#8217;t seem to be any option to buy prints on his website, I would love to get hold of some. For more about the issue of Granta click here.

Hyperactivitypography is a children&#8217;s guidebook to typography. It is awesome. Commissioned by Arctic Paper and designed by Studio 3. I remember seeing the cover a good while back while the book was still being made, but it&#8217;s now finished, available for purchase, and with online previews. Do yourself a favour and check out a preview of the book here.

South Korean Design student Yeongkeun Jeong has created this brilliant solution to portable soreads packaging, but replacing the normal peel off lid, with a wooden knife lid. Incredibly simple but very well executed and inclusion of its own branding identity. I&#8217;m not wild about the pot itself, but as a design concept&#8230;yes please! See more photos here.
