Save the ink



Totally loving my friend Tanja Burgdorfer, aka Mayari's new project: Save the Ink!

Uneasy about throwing away an ink cartridge that needed to be replaced, even though there was still plenty of yellow ink left, she came up a solution that is beautiful "inside" and out.

"SAVE THE INK is not only art (a concept/an idea that might make you think and increase your awareness) but also a well designed product (a practical object). I think art and design can merge."

Challenging words

Words have power, yes, but words can be even more powerful through the use of design. I thought I'd give Ubeautiqous some typography love (continue the affair on ilt).





Visuals above found here. Last but certainly not least - a Mark Titchner piece I once walked past every morning, on the london underground. I used to feel something like shame; looking at it, believing it, yet doing nothing. And then I listened to it!
