ANIMALISTIC DESIGN - 

This one is a bit of a puzzle, maybe it’s a new found movement towards the ultimate opulence or perhaps new production techniques… either way there has been an interesting batch of animal inspired furniture designs hitting the scene.

What do you think?… cool or uncool?

SHARP CREATIVITY - 

We totally agree that Lovingly hand-painted saws are useful for extracting extra budget from clients…  http://www.behance.net/gallery/(Sub)Prime-Cuts/8687817

You can buy these at the 17th and Oak store (very affordable) but the main message here is that everything that is old can be freshened up to be brand new again - hope this inspires you.

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.
