I’m looking forward to seeing more of Mr. Lamenski’s work, because his ideas are very interesting.

Mmm cars and women, especially when the car is a BMW. So I was in a showroom the other day waiting for a tyre quote.
The BMW art car book was out, which can I say is very well griddled and uber modernist with Sans serif faces everywhere.
I was flicking through and it came to the posters section, and this appeared…
Its a poster to promote BMW’s second hand market that the showrooms run. The caption is awesome.
If you can’t see it, it says, “You know you’re not the first”, and a picture of a beautiful (subject to opinion) girl.
I like it, and the book it was in.
So I bought something from the PS online store and was told that the first 50 customers would recieve a signed note.
I unfortunatly missed this, but I wasn’t surprised as it was worldwide and nothing cool ever happens to me like that.
So I wrote a letter to the head office just to ask to an autograph…
A few weeks later, “Ta da!”
His letter ‘P’ is beautiful. The postcard is really nice thick cards (smells good) and the blue motif is felt.
I bought a note book from the store and thus he wittily wrote, “James, make a note of this”.
Cool beans
Muiz Anwar is someone I found whilst looking for examples of arabic typography on flickr (for a possible idea for my final project). He’s done some amazing contemporary typography and he must be quite good as hes interning for Font Shop International.
DixonBaxi were responsible for the new(ish) Five branding and they’ve put a lot of their work up on their Flickr site. They also did all the TV infographics for Formula 1.
Well, hello. So I was in Bluewater and saw this really nice milkshake place. The photo was a risky op, as they didn’t let me take any in the shop 
So here is an over bright external view…
A great little logotype with simple colour palette, but the internal graphics were really clean vector based imagery. A a nice strawberry shake, although brain freeze struck.
A really nice Flash website that shows people’s responses to a weekly question.
I’ve discovered Harmonie intérieure; a French company that specialises in ‘wall decals’s is how I’d best describe them. But what I really liked was the small selection of posters they also sell.
As a grid/map nerd these caught my eye immediately. I couldn’t make my mind up between the Tokyo and the Seoul one so I got both. One came with a mini pocket version of the map that was equally well designed. There’s an amazing attention to detail even down to the outer cardboard box which has the Zero Per Zero logo cut into the opening flap. I’m not sure I could bare using it as an actual calendar and cover it up with my scruffy scribblings. Fairly cheap and really quick postage to the UK too.
