Who doesn't need a great blank journal for sketching and idea logging? Designer and illustrator Andy Pratt offers several unique choices in lined or unlined versions. I'm a huge fan of Original Thoughts and Great Ideas.   Posted by Megan

Another Movie About Graphic Design
Died Young Stayed Pretty: A Movie About Rock Posters opens next weekend at the Montreal World Film Festival. The film peels back the paper curtain and looks behind the scenes of the underground poster movement. These graphic banditos roam the streets, plastering their work to every available surface. Under the guise of advertising rock shows, these unheralded masters of the silkscreen and xerox machine carry on public discourses on the merits and pitfalls of fried cheese and gritty porn.
The film includes posters by Art Chantry, Methane Studios, Seripop, the Ames Bros. and more.  Posted by Megan

Yearbook Yourself
This cracks me up (in a good way): To drive more teens and their parents into its malls for back-to-school shopping, Taubman Centers is taking them back in time. The national mall owner and operator partnered with Colle+McVoy to create an innovative online and in-center experience that allows teens to see what they might have looked like when their parents were in school, all while catching up on current back-to-school fashions.
The campaign features a new website, www.YearbookYourself.com, which launched this week and allows visitors to upload their photos and morph their faces onto yearbook photos spanning five decades. They can easily move from the 1950s through the 1990s and see themselves with the hair and fashion styles of the times while listening to music inspired by that era.
 Here's "me" in 1968:  (Edit: And here's me, circa 1990 -- Bryn)  Posted by Megan

Newsweek Features HOW Book, Written On The City
Newsweek just posted a small gallery of images from Written on the City, a new HOW book exploring message graffiti around the world. The colorful images capture street type at its most raw and inspiring. It makes city governments cringe. But graffiti can be provocative,
inspiring and poetic—sometimes even a tool for public discourse. That's
what San Francisco designers Axel Albin
and Josh Kamler say in their new book, "Written on the City." They've
compiled their favorite "message graffiti" from cities around the
globe—the musings, rants, political statements and cultural
observations of artists who risk jail to have their voices heard.
See more graffiti here.  Posted by Megan

Post-Vacation Blues
It’s hard to imagine, but with Labor Day right around the corner,
summer is nearing its end. If you’re planning a getaway to enjoy the
final days of warm weather, chances are it’s not leaving the office

Creative Group, one in three (33%) advertising and marketing executives
polled said they dread the work awaiting their return. Another 10% said
they prevent this scenario by rarely going on vacations. Here are steps
you can take to ensure you’re productive instead of panic-stricken when
you get back. Read more.Posted by Megan
