This is great for a person like me, who only ever makes it to the MoMA for openings or special exhibits, and often doesn’t have the time to really take in the breadth of their amazing collection.

See for yourself!

OH YEAH. This is all because of a firm called Stamen Design, which I heard about on some SXSW blog!

How come my mom never got me a box of crayons that looked like this? Probably because my mom isn’t Christian Faur.

via Lovely Package

Thinking back to only a few short months ago when I was much more of a packaging designer, and much less of a Photoshop tool, this is the kind of thing that I was always trying to do. Unfortunately, clients like stupid things like gradients and layered textures and photographs, and don’t seem to understand the simple elegance of epothecary typography.

But Target® gets it!

I love this site. I love the idea and the execution. Resize the window and watch how awesomely the content adapts. Anyone that knows me knows how much I despise all-flash sites, but this one almost gets a free pass (minus 10 points for not having unique URLs for the links at the top).
