On the work level one of my goals for the coming year is to become a better, more competent web designer. And I’m thinking this web design sketchbook (this year’s holiday gift from Hyper Interacktiv) would help me get majorly motivated.

I’m loving the clean, simple packaging of Francis Ford Coppola Encyclopedia wines.
“With Francis Ford Coppola Encyclopedia, we have hand-selected wines from around the world to begin a journey into understanding how wine is tied to and influenced by culture. Geography, history, food and religion, to name a few, all determine how and why wine is made and enjoyed. Our winemaking team traveled to Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Argentina – five countries where wine cultivation has thrived for centuries, to choose varietals that best represent the culture and traditions of each of these storied winegrowing regions. In turn, Encyclopedia wines are proud storytellers.”

Yes, yes, yet another calendar! I just can’t get my fill. This time it’s the Bryant Typography Graph wall calendar that I’m in love with. It’s the overlapping type that does it for me.

New Years is a tough holiday to decorate for in my humble opinion. But I’m absolutely loving this sweet Happy New Year bunting from hello handmade. Purchase the template and make one yourself – you still have time!
Budweiser’s holiday commercial is one of my all-time favorites. Enjoy! (And prep yourself for some delayed holiday cheer via me!)
Posted In ads, christmas, holidays, see itI saw this Perforated Calendar too late to include it in any of my round ups, but I had to share. If you haven’t seen it yet, this little gem has a perforated strip for each day to be torn off and discarded. I will never tire of innovative calendar design!

I broke out in goosebumps when I tripped across this clip from the best TV series ever – My So-Called Life. It brought back memories of early high school and my best friend and I sitting in my bedroom watching this very scene over and over (and over) again. I still have this episode on video (yes, I said video) and refuse to part with it. I really need to get my hand on the full series – it’s available on DVD now which would help bring me up to date!
Swoon with me, won’t you…

I love this promo for A Diamond is Forever.
“In a New York City park, A Diamond is Forever sponsored an installation where couples could document a kiss in 360-degree video, from December 1st until today. For a $5 donation to the Elton John AIDS Foundation for World AIDS Day, couples kissed beneath a mistletoe arrangement while 60 cameras photographed them from all angles. The photographs were combined into moving video images, which are available for download on www.adiamondisforever.com.”
