Hasta La Ideas

Lots of great work up on her site, Aleks is a freelance illustrator located in Brooklyn.

Some great Design Thinking here from Rhea Jeong

‘Hello Haptic’ is a flash card kit for blind children to learn various haptical experiences about nature.
Visually impaired children are able to self-educate themselves about different parts of nature with this learning aid. They will be properly stimulated about diverse characters of nature as well as fulfilling their curiosity through their first-hand tactile knowledge.

Some solid photography coming out of Montreal. Check the site here and here. Not a ton of work up, but this one’s from a wicked series done on burnt down buildings.

Jason Munn is a designer working out of Oakland California, with a knack for band posters. He started The Small Stakes in 03 with a focus on the music industry. Since then he’s produced work locally and internationally, lots of great minimalistic projects up on his site.

I grabbed this out of a section in this month’s Azure Magazine that highlights great design coming out of Istanbul. From the recently disbanded ünal&böler, ömer ünal designed these book and wine hangs called Sek. It’s an interesting concept, one that he seems to have explored in a few of his other projects (salkım, nar, petek, and sema), all of which approach book storage in an interesting and unique way. Plus, I’m a big fan of the photo.
