"I hope you like jammin, too"



The package design is no elegant and so simple. It feels very fitting for something that is home-made and organic. I can assume that the jam is just as yummy as the packaging!

'Beards are the New Black'



The design firm Office, located in San Fransisco is doing some really awesome design work. Recently they have been getting a lot of press for the redesign they did for 826 Valencia, an organization that is, "dedicated to supporting their students aged 6-18 with their writing skills, and to helping teachers get their students excited about literary arts" 

826 owns a store, that sells pirate themed items, the store was created to make money to support their non-profit organization. I love the playful nature of the venture! They own another store in Brooklyn that is all about Super-heros. 

I really appreciate it when design agencies, like 'Office' use their talents to help companies that are doing good for the world. Below are some examples of the work they have done in the re-branding.
 


Je T'aime Macarons...



A few years ago I visited Paris and I had the luck to stop by the most amazing pastry shop in the world; Lauduree. I wish I could have one right now. It was then that I discovered the best pastry ever!

Le Macaron... a traditional french pastry that made of egg whites, almond powder, sugar. They are the most delicious desert anyone could ever imagine. 


Look at those inspiring colors! I plan on using these colors in a design of mine in the near future. I often use pictures I find for color inspiration, I have a file on my computer that is purely for color inspiration. This photo is definitely going into that folder.
