The World of Hermes

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 19:39:07 GMT

The Hermes website couldn't be more clever or charming! You can't help smiling at the little drawings. The glove shadow puppets are my favorite. The site shows their gorgeous products in so many smart ways.

It almost makes you want to buy a $170 tie for your dad.

Prada Spring/Summer 2008

I can't say enough about Prada's most recent line. The color combinations are only second to the amazing patterns. And what girl doesn't want shoes that look like flowers!?! Gorgeous. Now, if I could only afford $700 high heels...

Surfboard Logos

The best collection of surfboard logos that I've ever seen..... from California to Australia and everywhere in between. Great reference for surf typography and logos in general. Some really beautiful old stuff is mixed in with the newer companies' logos.....

Obviously, my biggest inspiration. I worked next to the guy for 3 years and am still in awe...

Chris Ware

His handlettering alone is enough to blow you away.... add to that his amazing illustrations and command of a story line and it's pretty obvious why Chris Ware is loved by designers, comic book buffs, and illustrators alike.
