Prolific design writer Steven Heller collaborated with Lita Talarico, co-chair of the School of Visual Arts MFA Design Program, to produce “Typography Sketchbooks”. The stunning book is a revealing look into the minds and creative processes of designers and typographers. The book showcases a collection of private sketchbooks of over 100 hand selected designers. Some of the designers featured include Milton Glaser, Erik Spiekermann, Peter Bilak and Jean Baptiste Levée.

Lisa Nilsson creates amazingly intricate anatomical cross sections of the human body out of quilled paper in her collection called “Tissue Series” (found via Colossal). The art of quilled paper involves shaping and rolling strips of paper to create an image. To see more of her work, click here.

Oh how I love these WPA posters, created between 1936-1943. See the full collection on the Library of Congress website here.

Wait a minute, are these drawings or real hand bags? Well, technically they are both. Have a look here so you can see what I’m talking about (found via Design Milk). The handbags, made by Tapei-based designers Chay Su and Rika Lin, are the real deal made to look like two dimensional illustrations but are actually real purses. I. love. it.

We’re very proud to present the work of Yumi Imai. See the slideshow of her beautiful work here.
