Image of the Day, August 7, 2013
With summer in full swing, there’s nothing like checking out a gallery of vintage picnic supply packaging.

The typography and and monochromatic photos add to the festivities. Via Letterology. #design #retro #vintage #brightcolorpalette #1960s #typography #picnic #productpackagingdesign

Today's Obsession: Don Shank
Don Shank, whose name you don’t know but whose work you do, has opened a store of his original work. Go! Buy! Who’s Don? Oh, you’ll recognize his hand. Don’s design and imagecraft has been informing the entire world’s visual sensibilities for years now with his work on features such as Up and The Incredibles, cartoons like Ren and Stimpy and The Powerpuff Girls, and my personal favorite, Samurai Jack.
