Facebook in the 90s

Oh, I love this video. I like it so much because it's similar to my last assignment of university, where I made Facebook as it would've been in the Victorian era.



I hope everyone's having a super Easter holiday. :-)

hi :-)

Soo, I haven't updated in a while, and—holy moly I just checked the blog traffic, there're quite a few people reading this!—thought I'd pop in and write a post. I did mention that I was working towards getting my first proper graphic design job. Well, tick that off the list, for I am now working at one of New Zealand's largest media companies! Anywho, that's what's keeping me busy these days!

I happened across these delightful lollies (well, they look delightful, I haven't actually tried them) and thought the blog world might like to see :-)










Photos aren't great, but they would've helped me super-duper-immensely back in my first year of uni when I was trying to research and recreate Victorian chocolate packaging, but, never mind! If you're in Auckland and you're looking for these, you'll find them at Sabato.

saruman trolling

The person who created this, is a genius. And how weird is it, that the singing voice is so similar to Christopher Lee's own voice?!

good packaging

These days, I find myself looking at lots of well-designed packaging. Hmmm.

Anyway. Is this the most prettiest nail polish ever, or what?


And how about this sweet perfume bottle with the pincushion and Victorian-inspired pins?!
