British Book Covers
I love the covers Alice Stevenson illustrated for the Bloomsbury editions of these Barbara Trapido books. They're so much more interesting that the U.S. editions. Perhaps, they'll eventually make their way here like the Penguin Classics did.

Interactive Designer
Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Boulder, CO
Did you dream of harnessing telekinetic power as a child? Did you stare
at your Transformers lunchbox for hours on end in a desperate attempt
to invoke even the slightest fit of movement? Did you wise up, get a
Mac and a lifetime subscription to Adobe, and send your lunchbox on an
exploratory mission to the Martian poles or the strip club down the
street? If so, do you think you could send us your portfolio?
Crispin
Porter + Bogusky (CP+B) —winner of Cannes’ “Interactive Agency of the
Year” award — is looking for talented, innovative designers to join the
Interactive team. A candidate for this position thrives in a creative,

Real Good Project
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of its flagship SoHo store, Blu Dot is releasing 25 of it's Real Good chairs onto the streets of NYC and tracking where they go.
When we opened our SoHo store in 2008, we
became surrounded by the resourceful culture of “curb-mining”: the act
of finding furniture and art on the street. Now that a year has passed,
our friends at mono
approached us with a way to conduct a curb-mining experiment of our
own: What would happen if we left a bunch of Real Good Chairs all over
New York, free for the taking? Who will grab them? Where will they go?
How will they get there? What will their new homes look like?
A documentary film will follow up on some of the new chair owners; how they found their chairs, how they transported them home, and how their new chairs fit into their spaces. The film will premiere in December, at Blu Dot SoHo’s one-year anniversary party.
See more images of the chairs.
Follow the action on Twitter.
