NSW landscapes

 

Just recently come back from a week-long roadtrip around NSW, and realised how very little of my own country I have seen. Australia is one big place. This is a collection of photos of the fraction of NSW I have seen, heading north from Sydney up along the coast and then turning inland back into Sydney. 

There is a sense of vastness and dryness that is particularly Australian and a distinctive Eucalyptus green/sky blue/wheaty yellow colour palette that goes with it.

Selection of photos that I've taken lately.

Ampersand

I was asked over the weekend, if I was to ever get a tattoo, what would it be?
This illustration reminded me that it would possibly be an ampersand. And NOT a butterfly. Please dear friend if you're reading this, DO NOT GET A BUTTERFLY TATTOO. 

Although, as impractical as it would be, a deluxe ampersand carrying case would be nice too.

Illustration found at this isn't happiness.

USA Today

I'm really liking the giant page carousel on the new redesign of USA Today (as part of their new rebranding). It definitely makes browsing articles by categories a very easy experience.

It seems there has been a few American media website redesigns of late, with This American Life and Good magazine also getting recent makeovers.

Skyscrapers

This is a bit old, but I only just discovered this video for Skyscrapers by OkGo. What a great celebration of colour! Sexy, in a Helen Mirren way and not Rihanna way.

Where did they find these walls? Who knew you could ballroom dance to OkGo?

The woman dancer (Trish Sie) is also the director and producer. Some people can do it all.

Feel Inside (and stuff like that)

Hilarious and adorable. 

Moonrise Kingdom

I watched Moonrise Kingdom on the weekend. This is probably my favourite scene from the movie. I can't say I've ever danced in my underwear on a beach, but it is now on my bucket list because it looks like too much fun.

Also loved the art direction for the film, from Suzy's turquoise eye shadow to the custom font created by Jessica Hische (which will be commercially available next year!)
