What Katie Ate

Ran across some threads that pointed to a little food blog called What Katie Ate. Food? I'll admit I was interested, so I checked it out for myself. Bear in mind, I haven't delved too deeply yet, but what I have seen so far has amazed me (so good that I decided to share it with all of you). Instead of trying to explain it myself, I'll borrow Katie's statement: What Katie Ate is a resource of info relating to all things food and drink. It includes recipes and food photography by Katie herself ~ a professional food photographer and food stylist and will feature what's hot and tasty within the Sydney and Australian food scene (with the odd global diversion thrown in here and there for good measure). It also offers tips and links to Aussie and world-wide food publications, food packaging, markets, wineries, gourmet stores, restaurants, bars and cafes.
Anyway, I would definitely encourage all of you to take a look.

All That Glitters Ain't Gold

I was thoroughly impressed when I ran across these projects on Behance tonight. The process of creation for these pieces are just great fun. Instead of handling the layout digitally, these pieces are printed and cut, then meticulously assembled in a three dimensional scene, which gives them their incredible depth. Then the scene is photographed and voilà , stunning posters with visual weight!

Stamps

Here are some stamps from a nice collection I ran across. These are from the Ian Fleming's James Bond collection. Some really nice one's with a lot of detail. I particularly like the detail on the From Russia With Love stamp with the Fitz modified revolver. My favorite has to be the hood ornament of the Rolls-Royce Phantom III for Goldfinger. Love it.

Computer Ads

Dug up these old computer ads off of Flickr last night. I especially like the Packard Bell one. Our families first computer was actually a Packard Bell with the Windows 3.0 OS. Things have changed quite a bit since then.

New Site -- Solofolio


Solofolio serves as an extension of the DesignbySolo studio portfolio. It is a clear-cut, no frills dumping grounds for all of my designs. It's set up for easy upload and navigation, so I can get more of my work online quicker. Currently I haven't linked the www.designbysolo.com homepage, as I am still working out some minor details, but all readers get a sneak peak! Buzz! Let me know how you like the experience in the comments.

Quality Poster Designs -- Kellerhouse



Ran across these fantastic posters created by Neil Kellerhouse the other day. His work is very fresh with a lot of focus on simple lines and sleek typography. He's been involved in some pretty big projects, namely the superb The Social Network, which I recommend to anyone who has been on the fence about watching a movie about Facebook.

Bubblesite Storefront

Got my new Bubblesite Storefront up and running today courtesy of RedBubble. Here you can view some of my apparel and art designs which are available for purchase. Check it out here.

Fear

This is a design-for-screen, typography based work that I did for a competition a month or so ago. The premise for the competition was to create a design that described fear in some way. This is a compilation of quotes relating to fear from the NIV Bible.

Logo Designs

Here are some recent logo designs that I have done shown in the manner which I usually present to clients. Logo designs are for Limelight Productions and Pertuset Car Wash, respectively. View more logos that I have designed here.
