Letterpress Video

I found this great letterpress video today. The video takes a look inside a very traditional press shop named Firefly Press in the New England area. This printer is very experienced too; he even casts his own lead type!!! He has some valuable thoughts on type, and the direction of letterpress in the future. Anyways, you can check it out here... and let me know what you think.

Fun Interactive Site

As I was surfing on the Commarts website today, I started reading about one of their design features on a creative firm called Struck. I believe they are out of Salt Lake City... but the point is, they have a very cool website. The image below is from a client project, Gcycle.com. This is such a fun website!! Click on the image below to check out.

HOT, HOT, HOT...

Today and over the past weekend in Chicago, it has been extremely hot outside. I would say it's roughly 95 degrees with 90% humidity! Yes, it is yucky and sticky out there! It also doesn't help that we don't have air-conditioning in our home. Boo hoo for us.

Anyway, I wanted to post up these fabulous pillows and a great website that I found while surfing around the design*sponge blog. First, the website which is called 2modern. This site has some great and unique home furnishing items with a modern flare. Rugs, furniture, lamps, and the list goes on. Now for pillows, these are made by Amenity. This is the particular pillow I like, but they have all different colors and styles on the website. Let me know what you think!
