Business Cards!

Had some new business cards made. They feature color on both sides with a matte finish. Of course I got rounded corners (the images below are cropped)! The good people at www.printprintprint.biz printed them up for me. They really cannot be beat as far as bang for the buck goes.

Penguin Books As Album Covers

Great idea by Huw Gwilliam, he has remade famous album covers into Classic Penguin Books. This has been posted a lot on several design blogs and in some magazines (see below), but I thought people who may not visit those sources might enjoy these also.

I own a bunch of the albums he covered and these images really take me back to my high school days when I would stay up into the wee hours to catch 120 Minutes and run out to the bookstore for the latest issue of Select Magazine. Below are some of my favorite works; you can view the entire collection here. Also, Classic Penguin Books, which were the inspiration for these, are impressive in their own right and many may be viewed here.
