Purely coincidentally, I came across some more beautiful space-themed posters via The Ministry of Type.

timoni.org – A practical boarding pass redesign – Timoni Grone details the redesign of a boarding pass, factoring in the needs of the passenger and the airport staff. This is what good design entails – function, not just making things ‘look pretty’.
Posted on several design blogs already, but worth mentioning nonetheless. I love it because it conveys precisely the information it needs to and nothing more. Because it’s Paul Rand. (via Monoscope)
Consistently superb gig posters from THE SMALL STAKES
Gorgeous work from Hale Industrial Design (via swissmiss).

Interesting paper bottles over at The Dieline package design blog.
My friend Kristian, a talented artist and soon to become a fantastic teacher, turned 30 a couple of weeks ago. After hunting for an age trying to find a good birthday present for such a milestone, I finally discovered Domestic’s website and knew that one of their vinyl pieces would be perfect. Not too expensive, either, though the postage adds a slight pang and doesn’t appear to be particularly swift (as my order still hasn’t arrived yet).
Another gift I’d highly recommend ? at least, If your intended recipient is a chocolate addict like me ? is just about anything from l’Artisan du Chocolat. In particular, their liquid salted caramels are incredible; they do remind me of a certain South Park song, though!
