A = Authors | C = Community
A / No. 57 / Armin / Card Observer, observing business card design. [Via Nice Fucking Graphics]
C / No. 48 / Plamen / The 50 Dollar Logo Experiment. I’m sure we can all guess the outcome.
A / No. 59 / Armin / Probably the prettiest toilet paper packaging you will ever see… even if it looks like someone just unpacked the Unilever logo on it.
A / No. 54 / Armin / Fifteen great man bags. Not exactly sure why I’m quipping this, but as a designer man, I always feel men get shortchanged with their carrying options. Any of these sure beat a fanny pack.

C / No. 46 / Robert / One of the very few great uses of Flash 3D capabilities.
C / No. 52 / Millie Rossman Kidd / How good is your eye? I had Ed Benguiat first year type class at SVA and he’d teach us about centering, letterspacing and he’d say: “Eyeball it, man! I can teach you a lot of stuff, but if your eye’s no good, forget it.” This little game is pretty cool to test it out. (via VSL)
C / No. 49 / Ricardo Cordoba / The body as billboard.
A / No. 66 / Armin / Tired of your boring ol’ e-mail signature? Spice it up with this ASCII Text Generator: enter a word, select a style and hilarity ensues. [Via HOW]
