Brighten the Corners

Just discovered these posters by London and Stuttgart agency Brighten the Corners. To celebrate their 10th birthday they created 3 posters which including the creme de la creme of client emails from the past 10 years. Some of them had me laughing out loud.

My favourites include:

• Hello. Attachment?!
• Any other graphics or general fun that you can think of including would be great.
• I don’t know what kind of ‘resolution’ is needed for this, but obviously it has to look crisp.
• Foreword – can you please replace this with something a bit more salesy?

Some of their other projects that I really love include branding and a website for Holy Mountain and a series of posters featuring Italian sayings for the Italian Cultural Institute.

Fake vinyl CD labels

I love this kit I got in Paper Tiger… There’s defenitely not a funkier way to package your music CDs. The labels turn the CDs into mini-vinyl, complete with their own sleeves.

Regretsy

Slightly far removed from my normal posts but you have to see this brilliant blog celebrating the not-so-wonderful handmade items for sale on Etsy. I have to get me a pair of these leopard velvet flare pants.
