Nagi Noda_Broken Label_1

Nagi Noda_Broken Label_2

All works consist of two separate worlds: the one we are living in now and the one we would all wish to inhabit. Broken Label is the fashion brand created by artist Mark Ryden and Nagi Noda. Now I’m not sure if that gets any better. Oh wait, just look at the art direction on their advertisements. And that mini top hat!

GoodJobStore_Products

I came across the brand, GoodJob in Bangkok, Thailand and was very impressed by the quality of each product. Not to mention its sheik, contemporary look. Products shown above are a business card holder, tissue holder, flat tote bag. Most are made from a textured vinyl contrasted with a smooth leather with every detail taken into consideration. The best part: reasonably priced. I picked up the business card holder for just about $7 dollars. Click here to see more.

Bathroom Sign_Women

Whenever you’re on vacation, especially in southeast Asia, finding a bathroom can be an adventure. That combined with spicy foods, Chang beer and sketchy water, you can imagine my relief when I ran into this. I was surprised to see many different variations of bathroom symbols during my travels, but this was my favorite. Gets me thinking, what would I do if I were to design bathroom signage. Hmmmmmmm.

Cool paper + typography + clay = an awesome poster by Alex Trochut and Marta Cerda. They decided to do this type composition with clay after gettin a feel of the Sensation Tradition Extra White paper by Arjo Wiggins. I don’t know about you but it makes me want to touch it.
