Andrew van der Westhuyzen is part of Australian Graphic Design company collider, and created this fantastic jewel case design for Ministry of Sound Australia. A homage to Frank Lloyd Wright and Neutra and the lifestyles their buildings accommodated, Chillout Sessions XII takes us to a fusion of time periods somewhere between the 50s and the 80s in the filtered light of California.

I’m a complete sucker for posters/photos like this. Lovely composition and colour that fits the tone of the book perfectly. The initial reviews coming out seem really positive so I think I may have to break through my semi-distaste of Keira Knightley and lap this one up.

Visualizing every pass, shot, and goal of the 2010 World Cup This piece was designed before these matches were actually played, ready for data to be plugged in on the fly.

The Mushroom Gazette is a family newsletter designed and hand printed by designer Nicole Ziegler, who was inspired by her family’s lack of knowledge about any other relatives. Called the Mushroom Gazette in relation to a family in-joke, acknowledging all ignorance about what other family members are up to in life. See more photos here.

Santosh Henarejos has put together this nice redesign of Ling, the inflight entertainment magazine of Vueling airlines. There are some great spreads, and it’s nice to see a slightly fresh grid design to the kind of publication that in my mind is often an afterthought… Take a look here.

Justin Fuller art directed this fantastic branding project. He describes it better than I would… Denver Music Company is a fictional / pop-up record store that was created as an installation for Create Denver Week in April of 2010. The project aimed to highlight the unique history of the music scene in Denver and the Front Range of Colorado. Everything was created from scratch, including the logo, the storefront, several silkscreened prints to decorate the shop, a 50-page zine, buttons, stickers and record bin labels. An interactive listening station allowed people to hear a variety of music created by Colorado artists over the years. Would love to get my hands on the fifty page zine but for now the photos of the project will have to do. There’s no direct link to the project, but it’s well worth clicking to from the homepage!
