Coca-Cola Limited Edition Summer Cans

Coca-Cola’s has released five new ‘limited edition’ summer can designs. A beautiful iconic set of can designs proving once again that the design and marketing department at Coca-Cola recognizes the value of their brand equity. Each can sports the "classic" Coca-Cola logo as well as a bold "refreshing" graphic. A wonderful summer-time treat.

New Book - 'Drip Dot Swirl' from Von Glitschka







My buddy Von Glitschka just surprised me by dropping off a signed copy of his new book, Drip Dot Swirl. The book is chock full of beautifully detailed patterns along with great examples of the patterns in use by talented designers and illustrators. A follow-up to his 2007 texture related book, Crumble Crackle Burn. Like the first book, it comes with a DVD inset with all of the patterns and instructional tutorials.

Von reports that he's already working hard on the theme for the next book in the series. So stay tuned!

This book is an essential "must-have" addition to every graphic designer or illustrator's personal library.
