These clever tables are based off of letter forms. Not just graphic designers get inspired by type :)

Outstanding Guerilla Advertising

This website helped inspire me when working on guerilla ad concepts. A guerilla ad can really be anything and the boundaries of advertising are being pushed far beyond just a pretty-looking print ad.
I would keep this link in mind for future reference

Cool Web Layout

Decent Font Website

I stumbled across a great free font website called

It clearly has decently and professionally selected typefaces.
What a difference from competitors like Dafont.com and 1001fonts.com

Click the link to see Watercolor typography

Watercolor Type- type done by hand using watercolors gives these pieces a very unique look. I can't wait to try it.

A currently running advertising campaign from Brita, a German company that specializes in water filtration products, says in its ad slogan that “last year 16 million gallons of oil were consumed to make plastic water bottles.”

Brita wants you to stop using water bottles and instead use their water filters to clean their water. While you can ask yourself what use the water filters will do, when the majority of the developed countries have an excellent quality on their water, the advertising campaign highlights one of the most pointless waste products in our society today.

Americans send about 38 billion water bottles a year to landfills. Considering the 1.5 million barrels of oil needed to make those bottles, the environmental impact of plastic bottle waste is truly staggering.

Movember

One of my friends from Australia posted this on Facebook the other day. Its basically to raise awareness for men's health and prostrate cancer. The manner in which they executed their campaign really appealed to me. Especially since many people like my friend are now growing moustaches in order to raise awareness. http://au.movember.com/?home

On being creative.
