Small Bites: Design Links I Love | March 30

Another Monday, but it’s Easter week, so that means an abundance of marshmallow Peeps and chocolate bunnies, so it really can’t be a bad week. And, you can have some awesome design links to make you smile this Monday morning as well.

Of course, I have to include yet another link that involves my favorite hand lettering artist, Jessica Hische. This is a video of her discussing what it was like to design the 2015 Love Forever stamp for the USPS. Really cute video and an amazing design for her stamp.

This is a really clever ad campaign from nail cosmetics company OPI. It took me a minute to get it (much like me with most modern art), but it’s really cool, and of course, the wide array of colors attracted me.

In addition to Nutella, I am obsessed with all thing Sriracha. Finally, officially partnered Sriracha products are hitting the market. In addition to being deliciously flavored, I LOVE the packaging of this iconic hot sauce.

Sagmeister & Walsh just released their new campaign for an Indian juice company called Frooti. I don’t think the packaging is all that exciting nor the logo (not sure if Sagmeister & Walsh did the logo), but the photography and ad campaign concept is brilliant.

And finally, for new designers out there, here are 20 rookie mistakes when it comes to typesetting to avoid. Mastering these basics can up your skill set tremendously and make you stand out as the professional in a crowd of students or recent grads.
