Stranger & Stranger’s work never fails to be absolutely beautiful! Not many studios manage to do such consistently visually appealing work, but with their skills, experience and extensive premium alcohol clients they always do.

This project is a little different though, they have developed a patented paper sleeve which wraps around wine bottles. Giving a nice big space for extra graphics as well as creating a real sense of intrigue.

‘The idea came from our own No.13 pack. We created brands in a packaging format that stands out and adds value, interest and gifting opportunities. The added real estate that the over sleeve gives us has allowed us to engage with people in a way that a tiny back label never can. Everyone just wants to pick up and read these packs.’

Kevin Shaw, Founder and Creative Director of Stranger:

I like these a lot, being beautiful as well as a bit different will give them so much shelf presence. I know I’d definitely want to buy any one of them, trouble is as a designer I’d feel bad unwrapping it!

Typography/Topography

An Earth-inspired typeface designed by Siyu Cao that creates shapes and letters from classic typographic map features. The two-dimensional forms are great, but the 3-D carvings really drive it to the mountaintop.

I’ve seen a lot of Earth as Art projects, but never a typeface. Excellent work.

Bonus: Check out some of my other favorite science-inspired typography here.

Lebbeus Woods, Architect is currently on view at SFMOMA, and throughout the run of the exhibition, we’ll be using Tumblr as a place to sequentially share Woods’s wonderful sketchbooks, since only a fraction of the pages can be on view in the galleries. See all of the pages we’ve shared so far here.

mattybing1025:

In her first and only meeting with the famous macho actor Marlon Brando, early in her career at Paramount, the two were seated next to each other at an Actor’s Guild luncheon. As they sat down, Audrey said a shy hello. Brando said not a single word to her during the entire dinner. For 40 years, Ferrer says, his mother believed that Brando had shunned her. But in the hospital near the end of her life, she received a letter from the famous actor. A mutual friend must have told him of Hepburn’s feelings, and he wrote to set the record straight. Although she might have been shy of him at that luncheon, he recalled that he had been so much in awe of her that he was speechless. He couldn’t think of a single thing to say.

—Excerpt from Audrey Hepburn: A Son’s Reflections
