Shocking...

Jack Straws met the modern age with this electric version by Jim Prentice Games. I've forgotten where I picked this up at, but I've always loved the packaging for this game.

Tuned In...

You can almost hear the static coming through the tinny( and tiny) speakers. Once cutting edge technology, these retro transistor radios have a warmth and appeal you just can't match with a I-Pod or smart phone. A few more can be viewed here.

Chairman of Style...

Works by Gerrit Rietveld. I recently discovered this comprehensive website of the varied works of this influential designer and architect. Take a look.

Listen Up...

An excellent collection of the innovative and whimsical graphics that were once found on the user manuals of Hi-Fi equipment can be viewed here.

Check Out Lane...

Check out this great set of photos featuring retro grocery stores and related ephemera here.

Book Art...

There's so much to like about these paintings by Stanford Kay. The geometric compositions created from bookshelves and the bold textures are what first caught my eye. See more work here.

Killer Graphics...

Anyone that appreciates pulps, film noir, or just outstanding graphics will appreciate these unique labels by Mash Design for Australian Winery Killibinbin. Via The Lovely Package

Well Packaged...

A nice collection of ads done for the Container Corporation of America by some of the design greats, including Herbert Matter, Lester Beall and Jean Carlu. See more here.
