Be prepared to exit Dull City and enter Legitsville, Population 3. More here. But mostly here.

Not only are Markus Dreßen’s book designs great, the website is even better. The site is built with Google Maps so you can pan around easily. Cheers to non-scrolly bars.

First our favorite feline friends play the piano, now they wear custom-made wigs. Glamourpuss: The Enchanting World of Kitty Wigs presents 60 stylish portraits of pure cattyness (see what I did there? har har har)

We know what you’re thinking, “Hey Apples & Owls, WTF is up with the images.” Yes, mistakes happen but these images are aesthetically pleasing. Over 900 contributions of unusual visual glitch artwork were made to complete this book. I kinda want this. Coincidently my half birthday is this Friday.

Book for 125th anniversary of fashion brand, Breuninger, created by design/branding studio Mutador. SO THIS is what happens when the some of the finest photographers, typographers, designers and art directors get together and make stuff. Oh, how I wish I could get my paws on the actual book.

Breaking Bad News with Baby Animals is a book full of postcards with just that. You have to at least give the sender some credit for taking the time to actually send it in the mail, right? Debatable. See more here.

Awhile back, I had done a post on the design studio, Bunch, and their collaborative approach to creating a new identity to themselves. Well, the book has arrived. Bastarised showcases 289 of the Bunchisms specially selected from 750 contributions and is now on sale through their online shop. And I was very excited to see that my contribution had been published. Thanks Bunch.
