CUSTOM MAP COASTERS - 

Continuing from last month’s theme, we found these cool custom map coasters available at Etsy. A very elegant way to either recycle or re interpret the use of traditional printed maps.

The paper is sandwiched between a sheet of clear plastic (mylar) and a metal base giving practicality and protection - hope this inspires you.

THE TITANIC BEER STOUT - 

There seems to be quite a strong wave of new beer branding & packaging design that is producing some really interesting products.

Titanic Stout is a wonderful result of research and application of a simple idea executed to perfection. The result is a strong aged look teamed with modern simplicity… too bad about the type of beer - any one for drinks?

THE FLAT DESIGN TREND - 

Flat design first surfaced a couple of years ago but it’s now ready for the big time, causing some interesting buzz in the creative world. Windows Mobile OS uses it (with dubious results) and the eagerly anticipated new MAC iOS 7 will have it, but what is it?

Flat design is pretty straightforward. It is flat. It’s a way of designing without adding three-dimensional attributes – no shadows, no gradients, no bevels, etc. It doesn’t mean flat design has no effects, it just means that it doesn’t use effects to create depth and dimension.

Flat design focuses on colour, typography and simpler use of UI elements. Simplicity is the key but that’s were the design skill is at - hope this inspires you.

GRAPHIC EGGS - 

Looking for a different Easter inspiration? what ever your religion, we are sure you will agree that these multicoloured and graphically inspired eggs are simply irresistable.

Great design is achieved when we dare to step out and merge, blend, and synergise different practices to come up with new segments. In this example, the old tradition of egg decoration meets modern design and colour schemes  - Love, Peace & Inspiration!
