While I don’t approve of babies drinking hard liquor, I do approve of some great tongue-in-cheek design projects. Pop Bottles is a series child-themed branded booze bottles by Anna Utopia Giordano that even have little rubber nipples on top. Check out her site to see the whole collection of liquor bottles for little tykes.

Infographics are great, but sometimes it’s a bit overwhelming to see a different one on every single blog and news site you visit. It may even be enough to make you lose it one day and yell “F#&k your infographic!”. Well if you’re ever feeling that way just take a deep breath, check out this great design by Abe Garcia, and have a good laugh.
Minnesota Middle Finger is the first piece in a series by Minneapolis-based designer Phil Jones called Minnesota Nice. This is so funny; I can’t wait to see what else Phil comes up with!

We’ve all seen double neck guitars before. In fact, I was in a band in college called Isle of Lucy and our lead guitarist, Paul Anderson, rocked out on one at every show. But have you ever seen a guitar with eight necks? To be fair, this musical monstrosity isn’t just a guitar. It’s a mandolin, ukulele, 6 string guitar, fretless bass, fretted bass, 12 string guitar, baritone guitar and a 7 string guitar. What’s even crazier is that this isn’t just a piece of sculpture, it’s a playable instrument. Check out the video at the end of this post to see 8 people playing a rendition of “Crossroads” on it.
Many of you may know that I’m a big fan of subway maps (I’m a geek, I know). So I couldn’t help but share this great subway-inspired map of U.S. interstates by designer Cameron Booth.
(Thank you, Derek, for the tip!)
All too often, audio speakers, even high end ones, tend to be pretty ugly. Or if not ugly, they at least tend to clash with the decor of most people’s living rooms. Well Swedish design company People People has created a beautiful speaker that can blend into any living room. Why? Because it’s transparent.
The tents may have been cleared out of Zuccotti Park and encampments in other cities, but Occupy Wall Street fever is still alive and well. One thing that’s impressed me since the beginning of the movement has been the outpouring of creative energy by the people involved in it.
The Occupy Poster Project is yet another example of what happens when creative folks all rally around a single cause. The project is a collection of screenprinted OWS posters from a variety of world-class designers. All the materials have been donated by The Half and Half, and 25% of all sales are donated to the Occupy Wall Street Organization.
Coni Della Vedova’s playful typographic screen prints really intrigued me. Her clever designs are simple but iconic, with a humorous twist. My personal favorite is a tie between AEI Love U and We Are a Team.
