Store Names

I was searching around on the internet when I came across an interesting posting.  This is a juice company in Singapore.  I just thought their packaging was brilliant.  The company is Wild Bunch & Company Juice and the packaging is a single shot container.

Twist on Words

I saw print ad from a clothing store web-site, Lemon Twist, and it drew my attention.  What a great play on words.  The thing is you really have to read the ad then look at the picture.  It makes sense after a minute.  Now isn't it a great use of words and images.

WORD & LYRICS



This is an interesting site that I thought I would share with everyone.  The site is The Designers Mixtape It allows you to create a mix tape of all the songs you enjoy.  In a sense you become the designer of your vocal word.  Or that is the way I am putting it.  But really, it is a fun way to mix up the music you love and mark who you enjoy listening to.  
Take some time out and have fun...I DID!!!

In Her Shoes



One of my favorite movies is
In Her Shoes" with Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, and Shirley MaClaine.  In the movie, Cameron Diaz gives her sister Toni Collette a poem on her wedding day.  It is a poem by E. E. Cummings called I Carry Your Heart With Me.  Here is the Poem:

I carry your heart with me.  I carry it in my heart.  I am never without it.
Anywhere I go, my dear and whatever is done only me is doing, my darling
I fear, no fate for you are my fate, my sweet. 
 I want no world. For beautiful you are my world, my true
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever the sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life
which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart.  I carry it in my heart. 

I think this poem is just beautiful.  It makes me think of all the amazing things we see, hear, feel, and taste that add to our everyday life.  It talks about carrying these things in ourselves and releasing them to the world so that others can experience apart of what makes us whole.  This poem and movie are both great displays of emotional connections between people and places.

Sophia bookshop in Thessaloniki


Architects Nikos Kalogirou and Evangelos Kotsioris stated in an interview that the bookshop was a "experiment with triangulated surfaces and distorted multiple reflections."  I feel the space is a hugh celebration of triangulation, distortion, and reflection.
