I've just received my special edition of UNKLE's 5th studio album 'Where did the night fall', I'm not entirely sure the artwork is to my taste, I kind of miss the Futura 2000 but the quality of the product is exceptional. I've included info and photos below taken from the Creative Review blog.

The package (art directed by James Lavelle, Ben Drury and Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones), includes a booklet of song lyrics and sleeve notes, a gatefold pack housing two CDs and a book of imagery on heavy card. All elements of the package, bar the lyric booklet, is printed on silver stock - giving the release, and the imagery that adorns it (created by Du Preez and Thornton Jones) a unique and lavish quality.

The slipcase contains three items – the black lyric booklet, a silver gatefold wallet containing the packages two discs (the album plus a bonus instrumental version of the album), and a thick card book of imagery created by Du Preez and Thornton Jones

This is the open gatefold CD wallet

Inside the left hand side of the gatefold wallet is another sleeve which contains the album disc (above) and in the left hand side of the gatefold wallet you'll find the bonus disc containing the instrumental versions of each track on the album:

Thanks to Generation Press for printing our lovely new business cards. I'll get better shots to show the foil blocking clearer when I can but the lighting wasn't so great when I shot these. The 2 card designs were printed on 625gsm Dutch Grey Board, with debossed foil block lettering.

I've just bought myself one of these lovely limited edition CD's, it's a compilation disc from independent record label Fine Art Recordings.The Packaging was designed by Sawdust and printed by the fantastic Generation Press. Limited to just 200 copies, it comes with a plastic tiddlywink so you can scratch off the gold latex panels that cover all text on the CD pack.

I loved these communication materials for two complimentary exhibitions by Design studio Onlab.

Communication for two complementary exhibitions about the relationship between Industry and Art in the Neuchâtel Mountains at the end of the 19th century. Most of the wooden letters were found in this area, printed in Berlin, scanned, recomposed and screenprinted in metallic colour on a pearly background.

Found this poster courtesy of we love typography.Love it :)

I found this fantastic poster designed by Studio on Fire.

It's a letterpress printed poster for the Sweet Hair poster show featuring 37 Minneapolis artists. All prints are hair-inspired, handmade and created just for this show.

The 18 x 26 poster is a single color printed on 220lb Crane Lettra Pearl White. The type intertwines with a .30 point stroke that flows throughout the poster, making a nice deep impression on the cotton stock. The quote is a Chinese proverb that reads “You cannot prevent the birds of sadness from passing over your head, but you can prevent their making a nest in your hair.”

If script fonts on wedding invitations generally make your stomach turn, this invite layout should provide some typographic Alka-Seltzer. That’s what happens when a great interactive designer gets married. Designed by the groom himself, Jamey Erickson principal over at Sevnthsinin Minneapolis created his invites with a simple and bold typographic layout

I've recently purchased one of these and although I haven't spent much time using it just yet, I love it! It's the world's smallest digital portable photo printer, which can connect to pretty much any bluetooth device capable of sending pictures. It comes with a rechargabel lithium battery, and doesn't require any ink! It uses Zink paper - ZINK stands for Zero Ink - a new and simpler approach to printing where high quality, colourful, durable and affordable prints are created -- all without a drop of ink. The ZINK Technology encompasses both the ZINK Paper and the intelligence embedded in every ZINK-enabled device.

The patented ZINK Paper is an advanced composite material with embedded yellow, magenta and cyan dye crystals, activated with 200 million heat pulses, in 30 seconds, in a single pass. With 100 billion crystals in a 2 x 3 inch print, the paper is 100-percent inkless. A ZINK-enabled printer uses heat to activate and colourize these crystals.

Here's a few examples of the fun to be had with the PoGo, I'll post my own work when I get around to it :)
