One of my first projects in school this semester is to design a transformation card. A transformation card is one where the designer has incorporated the suit into an illustration. Traditionally, the suits had to stay in their normal position, but some artist have strayed from this guideline. I was browsing through some examples to inspire my own card and I thought I’d share my favorites here.

It’s going to give away what crazy cat people we are, but I think it’s perfectly acceptable to buy a few small gifts for your feline (or canine) friends.

While in Japan I discovered the Neko Café or Cat Café. Customers pay by the half hour or hour to watch and play with cats. Perhaps Neko Cafés will gain popularity in the US and Nana can get a job and start paying her share of the rent.

I’ve been thinking about designing a typewriter t-shirt for my next screen printing project. I’ve always loved a good mid-century typewriter. I’m the proud owner of a turquoise Optima, which we use to create some of the packaging for our products.
Here’s a few typewriters I found while looking for design inspiration.
