Quilling: A New Way to Look at Paper
Posted by Jess on February 15, 2012 in Blog, Design, That's Interesting
In these days of complete digital media immersion, there seems to be a resurgence in hand-made elements used in graphic design. Quilling is just one of those elements. If you’ve never heard of it, quilling (also known as Paper Filigree) is a form of paper art. It involves coiling strips of paper into various shapes and then gluing them together to create intricate artwork. This is not your grandma’s scrap-booking technique. Or maybe it is, if your grandma is crazy-talented.
Perhaps the most well-known quiller today is Yulia Brodskaya. Her work ranges from dynamic paper illustrations to whimsical typography treatments. If it looks familiar, her work has graced a variety of magazine covers and print advertisements.
Another quilling project getting some attention is Lisa Nilsson‘s “Tissue Series” – a set of anatomical cross sections. The interior of the human body has never been so pretty.

No CommentsParmesan Cheese Pencils
Posted by Melis on December 27, 2011 in Blog, Design, That's Interesting
What clever design! I would love to have these for a dinner party; they would certainly be a great conversation starter. The cheese is shaped like oversize pencils and the “leads” contain three different flavors: truffles, pesto and chili. The sharpener adds another fun touch. For the diet conscious, the label even has a scale that marks portion sizes. The limited first edition of 500 sold out in 2 weeks! Let’s hope that The Deli Garage (http://www.the-deli-garage.com/shopware.php) produces a second edition.

No CommentsPreds Unveil New Logos
Posted by Donna on June 27, 2011 in Blog, Design, That's Interesting
Nashville Predators unveiled their new logos this week. The new primary logo is simplified and limits colors. The Predators’ website says it is “a more contemporary and aggressive look by streamlining the original logo with tweaks like shading on the teeth and adding a distinctive gold color band.”
The secondary logo is shaped like a guitar pick with the Tennessee state flag’s three stars.
We will see how they use the new logos this weekend, when they unveil the new jersey design for the NHL Draft. We like the simplicity and old school touch. What do you think?
