The Cassette Tape Insert Card
Cassette tape insert cards: We’ve all had them. We’ve also all ignored them. And We’ve also all throw them away, drew on them, put stickers all over them, set them on fire, and got annoyed at them every time they slipped out and wouldn’t go back in correctly unless you used the tape to push it down.
But I’m confident in saying that we haven’t done, is enjoyed them as pretty sweet design pieces with some awesome typography.
Well guess what folks, the time has come. This guy Jubu (mostly because of his awesomeness I assume), released a pretty rad set of 84 scanned cassette tape inserts on flickr.
What is Consciousness?
Information is Beautiful launched a fun flash app to survey what peoples opinions are about what consciousness really is. As you would expect, the designs in the app itself are super sexy.
For the record, I got “Functionalistic Pan Psychic Higher Order Thoerist”
Minimalist Depictions of Music Genres
Edits by Edit put together a pretty awesome set of prints. With the collaboration of 13 different artists they released an amazing set of posters, each using only one element and one typeface to depict a certain genre of music. The result is 13 amazing minimalist depictions of genres. These would go great along side the minimalist music video and movie posters set, and minimalist album covers set.
Seriously though, make sure you look at them all. They’re freakin awesome.
Minimalist Album Covers
I tend to post alot of minimalist stuff. If someone came up to my on the street on asked me what styles are art I was most attracted too, I don’t think my answer would instinctively be “minimalist.” But I’m starting to wonder now.
At any rate. Ty Lettau from Sound of Design made these awesome minimalist album covers, which are truly inspiring, and go well with the minimalist music video and movie posters that Federico Mancosu did a while back.
Be sure to check them all out.
Extra Awesome Texture Driven Web Designs
Texture is certainly one of the more overused and under thought out design elements, but at the same time it is a useful tool to have in the designers toolbox. Because when it makes sense, it can work really well. To prove that point, Six Revisions put some extra awesome texture driven designs together.

Smashing magazine just put up a fun little article showcasing websites by Polish designers as well as showcasing some Polish design firms. Go look at it, it’s cool.
