spread the love...

...with tree-hugging cards! some more design mastery from bird and bee. this time, 2 cards, 1 for peace and 1 for love, with the word in question arranged in 100 different languages from around the world and in keeping with the theme of this, they're all printed on recycled paper and manufactured using wind power. to wrap this all up, a transparent envelope is provided to give the rest of the world a sneaky-peaky as it travels along her majesty's postal service.

great concept. great grid work. great set. great ethics. great design.

lunar calendars

while we're on calendar design, i thought it'd be useful to bring up this one. produced by one of my former graphic teachers from my days at eccles college, ryan morley, and his design studio, bird and bee, these calendars track the stages of the moon throughout the year by use of a lunar wheel. printed as a wall poster and postable card.

as well as tracking the moon's journey through the skies, it also provides information on monthly moon phases, moon quarters, 'moonrise' time, moons rising sign, lunar and solar eclipses, solstices and equinoxes, sunrise and sunset times plus traditional pagan moon names and festivals - the latter of which seems quite interesting.
