Kindred (kĭn’drĭd) n. – Having a similar or related origin, nature, or character.
Kindred is the side project of Holly of decor8 and Ez of Creature Comforts. It’s here that they plan on sharing some of the small creative projects they’ve dreamed up together. Their first project is “Wallpapered Together” – complimentary artist-designed desktop wallpapers.
We had our office Thanksgiving today – all four of us – and it was a day-long event. Pumpkin bagels for breakfast, out for lunch, then pumpkin pie and topping with eggnog in the afternoon. And you know what? I feel like I could explode. Like I need to undo the button on my jeans. I always forget how horrible being really truly FULL feels. And all I can say for it is this: UGH. Oh, and that I’ll be having water for dinner. Thank you.
Sometimes it’s nice to realize I’m not entirely nut-zo. For the past few Christmases whenever I see a box of panettone I always think Pantone in my head. Apparently the designers at Purpose were on the same wavelength when creating at this piece for Greenford Printing!
By building on the familiar language of colour specification, Pantone swatches initiated the main theme for our concept. ‘Panettone’ created a colourful twist on the traditional Italian Christmas cake. The Panettone boxes arrive as a set of 5, featuring special dates from Christmas Eve to New Years Day, each one representing a different pantone colour.
I love the honesty behind I Love You But… because every single one of us has been there at one point or another. I used to date a guy who said “Uhhh” all the time and it killed me. In fact, it became a deal-breaker.
This is a picture book about the moment in a relationship when you realize you don’t love someone completely, because there is one little thing that keeps bothering you. When it bothers you so much it actually makes you physically cringe, you know it’s time to say; ‘I love you but…’
Jeremiah from Laughing Hyena emailed me over the weekend to share his Series 1: Caffeine tees. Besides the tees I’m digging the coffee bag packaging – a super nice touch!
He really tells it best: Laughing Hyena designs and produces creative tees for the independent thinker by deconstructing pop culture a single subject at a time. Each series highlights key components with an emphasis on typography as wearable art. In addition to the fresh and modern approach of Laughing Hyena comes a moral mission as well. A percentage of the profits from the sale of its shirts will be donated to a cause related to the “single subject” of the series. The reason is simple. Donating to a just cause, “just cause…” is a nice thing to do. All of our designs are screen printed on 100% cotton (some orgainc cotton) high quality, American made, sweatshop free t-shirts. A percentage of the profits from the sale of Series 1 will be donated to “Coffee Lifeline” a Freeplay Foundation project www.freeplayfoundation.org. This innovative project seeks to empower coffee farmers in producing countries by utilizing self-powered radios to provide access to information and education in isolated rural areas. “It’s not a hand out, it’s a hand up.”
