New Cadbury Campaign (Australia)
I hate the new Cadbury campaign here in Melbourne. Not only does it employ that tasteless, old and unimaginative threesome analogy, it also appears to rip off Jessica Hische for Tiffany & Co.

Friday Type & Lettering
It’s nearly the weekend. Let us all look at some lettering!
Lots of credit to http://designersgotoheaven.com/ for a huge bunch of these.

Gorgeous calligraphy and lettering from Xandra. Visit her blog here or visit her website, http://xyzink.com/, for more.

Good lord these cards are lovely.

Méthode Boscher ou La Journée des Tours Petits
Gorgeous typography, illustration and lettering inside this wonderful old French journal for children. So lovely!
All images are from the ever wonderful Agence Eureka.
Calligraphy: Francisco Gigena [Argentina]
Francisco’s work really resonates with me. I love the colour combinations and the contrast between the delicate hairlines and the bold, dynamic letterforms.
See more of Francisco’s work on the Bēhance Network.
Package Design: Ah&Oh Studio [Poland]
I love this Babees honey packaging, especially the hand-drawn logo.

Spam Art
SPAM! We have all seen it, ignored it, deleted it, perhaps despised it. But sometimes it might just be worth hanging onto and glorifying. Alternatively, continue to ignore it and just enjoy the work of others who have done the glorification for you.
You may wish to go ahead and purchase yourself a copy of Linzie Hunter’s Spam Project; a book of 30 hand-lettered postcards based on the subject lines of spam emails.
Brisbane-based design collective Inkahoots have also take a similar idea and turned it into the wonderful work below. I am particularly interested in 19th century design devices and embellishments at the moment (like folded ribbons and fancy borders), so I am especially fond of the way the spam text is incorporated into this.
