Snowstorm

Oh, it is a brutal winter this year! I came across these lovely typographic cover series by Jessica Hische on Typography Served that warmed me up just a tad. DC, you ready for the snowstorm this weekend? |DBK

Hi-Res / Lo-Res

This is my first post of 2010! I took a little break, and now I'm back in full-force—2010 is gonna be a good year. And with the new year, comes new resolutions (and maybe a few renewed from 2009). These holiday cards by designer Andy Babb hit just the right note with his 10 Resolutions for 2010 Postcards. He gives the hi-res(olution) and low-res(olution) option to each card's commitment. Check them out, they'll make you laugh. You did resolve to laugh more in 2010, didn't you? [via FPO] |DBK

2010 Wall Calendar

It's not hard to find a gorgeous calendar these days, but this one by Beverly Hsu really stands out with its abstract minimalism. This letterpress wall calendar uses 12 different decorative type pieces to represent each month. It's super-clean and really elegant—a great gift, or addition to your office. [via swissmiss] |DBK

The Right Medicine

I have no idea what I would use these for, but I want them all. Three Potato Four is selling these antique medicine bottles in sets of three, chock-full of 1900s typography and design. Hmmm... they would make great vases, wouldn't they? |DBK

The Map as Art

The kind folks at Princeton Architectural Press sent me a copy of The Map as Art, a collection of maps by a variety of artists, both well-known and less-known by Katharine Harmon. According to their write-up, "In an era of globalized politics, culture, and ecology, contemporary artists are drawn to maps to express their visions." Some of these maps are just exquisite in their detail and form. And some will make you look twice. |DBK
