Uh oh! This is getting pretty darn close to a cooking post but I love these too much to pass up. They are part of Cooking Delicious Kitchen 101 series. Each month they post a new Kitchen 101 entry with information covering everything you need to know about cooking and baking. Which to me means super cool infographics to be framed and hung in the kitchen! Fruits, vegetables and herbs, shake it.

Present & Correct opened in 2008 with a mix of their designs, other designers and vintage finds. The shop is full of stationary, paper and office objects, inspired by homework, the post office and school. The two graphic designers who own the shop say – ” We hope to spark a distant memory, make you smile or look at the most mundane in a new, and fonder, light.” Well done P&G. Shake it.
thank you stephanie ( iheartmies) for the link!
Swissted is an ongoing project by graphic designer mike joyce, owner of stereotype design in New York City. Mike has redesigned vintage punk, hardcore, and indie show fliers into international typographic style posters. Punk rock and Swiss modernism, two movements that have absolutely nothing to do with one another. This is what I mean when I say shake it.
Jesse Brew is a designer and photographer living and working on the west coast. Oh how I love this new series… I think we should all ride our bicycles in the new year! He has an amazing body of work. Stunning, retro inspired photography and brilliant, fixed gear cycle photos. Check out his portfolio here. Shake it Jesse.
This was a fun post to write. I learned so much about Camillo Olivetti, the founder of the Italian typewriter company, and his son Adriano. Olivetti’s goal of bringing life into the office showed in his ad campaigns, full of bold concepts and color. He pushed the idea that work could be play, and that it should always be creative. Like Nelson and Herman Miller advertising, Olivetti campaigns portrayed the workplace as a fluid environment, much more inviting to the modern worker than the prewar office, heavy and oppressive. Now that’s shakin it!
Mike Krol is a designer living in Connecticut. In addition to working for the Yale University Art Gallery, he is a freelance designer with clients like Nike, MTV, and Peguin. “In 2010, Mike Krol was named a Young Gun by the Art Directors Club in New York City. This makes him one of the best creative professionals under the age of 30 – IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Believe the hype.” Enough said. Shake it.
Justin Gabbard is an illustrator who works out of the East Village in NYC. His work has a natural, light hearted feel to it. Justin has been fortunate enough to work on major advertising campaigns (for companies like Kiehl’s & Microsoft) and is featured in some of the nations top magazines (such as Wired, The New Yorker & Businessweek). In addition to this wonderful hand lettering he has a wonderful illustration portfolio as well. Shake it Justin.
