Vegas



I've never had the desire to take a trip to Vegas; gambling and partying with plastic girls and frat boys is not my idea of a vacation. However, today Design*Sponge posted a city guide to Vegas and apparently there is more to do there than I've been lead to believe. I'm particularly drawn to the Neon Museum, which has the mission to "to collect, preserve, study and exhibit neon signs and associated artifacts to inspire educational and cultural enrichment for diverse members of our international community." Rad. And there is an area of the museum called The Boneyard, which is a 3-acre outdoor site that houses their collection of non-restored historic signs. Photos above of The Boneyard taken for Design*Sponge by Becky Kazana.

Dublin Graphics



I just got back from Dublin, where Guinness flows from the faucets. Above are some design photos I took along the way.

Kai Kühne Website



I adore this website for the fashion label Kai Kühne. The minimal black and white color palette creates a clean, fresh aesthetic while the mixed sans/serif typefaces, set at an angle, add some punky character. Plus the page transition makes me feel like I'm scanning an oversized poster rather than mundanely clicking from page to page. I contacted them for the design credit and turns out it was designed by one of my favorite fashion-focused agencies Buero New York.
