This video shows the process and collection of covers that were designed (and presumably pitched) for the new novel Hausfrau.
I love this! I could have continued to watch for another 10 minutes.

NYC / 1.16.15-1.18.15
I recently spent the weekend in NYC and had the chance to stop by the Museum of Arts & Design. The main exhibit is titled “New Territories”, which is subtitled “Laboratories for Design, Craft and Art in Latin America” - a terrific look into the emerging art world in a variety of Latin American cities.
Above are some highlights, my favorites being the shoe (surrounded by other innovative/weird shoes) and the large-scale 3D typography (made from interlocking postcard sized pieces of ephemera.)
The first photo was the rainy, foggy, gray view from my hotel room Sunday morning.

What are some books you would recommend?
Lacoste - A L!VE pop-up story
This is just too cool. It really demonstrates just how much you can experience within a book. It pushes the senses, the constraints of book design, and takes user experience to a whole new level.
I can’t pick a favorite section/spread!
Fahrenheit 451 cover design, by Elizabeth Perez
Simple, clever, and striking (pun!)

New (to me) blog love.
