Now! Guest blogging @ MSLK

As most of you know I'm doing my internship at the design agency MSLK. If you haven't already, check out the MSLK blog. Today is my first guest post about Help Remedies and there shall be more to come!

AIGA 50 Books / 50 Covers

Yesterday I was at AIGA for their 50 books / 50 covers exhibition.

Since 1923, AIGA's "50 Books/50 Covers" competition has recognized excellence in book design and production. This exhibition showcases selections from the 50 Books/50 Covers of 2008 competition, which aims to identify the best-designed books and book covers published in 2008.

There were some really great layout ideas to be found, unfortunately everyone had to gather around a tiny bookshelf in the middle of the room were all the books were displayed, so I don't know if I saw them all. But here are some good ones (I forgot to write down the designers, so if anyone knows who's done what, let me know!).

Etsy Holiday Handmade Calvacade

Since the holidays are coming up there have been a handful of arts and crafts markets taking place in New York. This weekend I was at one in Soho brought together by Etsy. There were loads of talented designers with so many creative ideas there, unfortunately (for them) it just makes me want to go home and start working on my own projects. Very inspiring and very yummy cupcakes!

All I want for Christmas (upgrade)

These are the books on my Christmas wish list. Anyone got any more tips? I'm looking for a good pattern design book also.
