There's More than Soccer in Brazil

I am totally enamored with the design style of Brazilian designer and artist Eduardo Recife. He uses found photography and illustration (usually vintage elements) and combines it with hand drawn type or collage. His work has depth—visually, culturally and conceptually. His personal website showcases more of his experimental work, as well as some funky typefaces you can download for free. |DBK

Plastic's Out

 
DBK reader, Daniel, sent me some photos of a typographic Sigg bottle he spotted recently. There are also a few more nice ones on their website. Reuse and Conserve, people! Thanks, Daniel. |DBK

This Ain't No Filter

Shaz Madani designed a response to promote the M25 motorway in London. One side of the poster gives detailed directions on how to get from one side of London to the other, using back routes. The other side says "wipe away the confusion, take the M25." I just love the overall effect. Check out more of Madani's work righthere. |DBK
