tag team: people towel

tag team!  design merges with creates... its the perfect synergy!

people towel competition via inhabitat

last week i saw that inhabitat was launching a design competition with people towels.  this little graphic design charrette is aimed at encouraging people to use a resuable cloth towel instead of paper towels.  a little 9x9 hand towel has a pretty big impact when you consider it takes 51,000 trees to offset the amount of paper towels used in ONE day.

create: business cards

business card by Junge Schachtel 

(their website carries this theme too - pretty fun!)

i have started reworking my resume and portfolio... of course i am getting caught up in tinkering with all the details, spacing, alignment, color, etc.  my mind has been catapulted into thinking what kind of design would translate well from resume to portfolio to business card to stationary and beyond!  browsed through some super inventive business card designs at cardonizer.  maps, photographs, letterpress, round, square, green, lots and lots of creative ideas!  even a nail salon that prints their business cards on nail files = smart and useful!  and of course the moleskin version is particularly close to my heart :-)
