{ City neighbourhood posters }

On Sunday my little family and I met up with another wonderful couple for brunch. The food was delicious and the company was fabulous, thanks guys! During brunch we were introduced to these beautiful neighbourhood maps by Ork Posters, so gorgeous, that I just had to share. The posters are screen printed using soy based inks and 100% recycled paper (love this). The city is broken up into neighbourhoods (such a neat idea) and are visually represented using various pleasing arrangements of the same typeface. Such a great idea for a gift for the avid traveller, or as was mentioned over a brunch to start a conversation!

{Self Portraits}

Happy Weekend! I am currently in the process of redesigning my website and creating some new and exciting products for 2011 for my official product launch! (I will keep you posted)

I couldn't wait to share these cute little self portraits I've been working on for my website, so I decided to give you a sneak peek today. Hope you enjoy!

{ Finnish Design }

Today I thought it would be fun to share the work of a Finnish designer, being half Finnish myself I have a deep love for all things Finn! I especially love the work of Sanna Annukka, her graphic style is amazing. She designed this print to decorate a tram in Helsinki to help celebrate the 60th anniversary of the famous Finnish candy Marianne (Fazer). The red and white stripe pattern is iconic to the brand, so Sanna incorporated her design with the classic stripe design, the outcome was so sweet, don't you think?

Also in case you've never experienced Marianne candies before, they are very tasty, a mix of cool peppermint and chocolate sweetness!
