Lovely Letter Press

The thing I love most about letterpress is the tactile quality it brings to the design. It can instantly bring life to something so flat, and works well whether its just type, just graphics or an elaborate combination of them both. Here are some of my favourite found while browsing the web

Coins

I have to say even though these coins have been in circulation a while it was not until recently when they won a D&AD that I came across them. Designed by Matthew Dent a London based Graphic Designer to replace the current designs which have been in circulation for about 40 years, they are a simple sleek deign which incorporates tradition in a contemporary context. Very nice.

Topshop NewYork

Topshop has opened its first American store in its shopping capital, New York. They have gone all out with the funky innovative interior, keeping a strong British motif throughout the design concept and used Kate Moss a great British Icon to launch the great British Iconic Brand of Topshop. Simply sublime!
