Design Police: Visual Enforcement Kit by Ami Kealoha

designpolice.jpg

Like those little stickies that say "Sign Here," the witty Visual Enforcement Kit points out (with excruciating detail) what needs attention, in this case in the world of 2D design. For anyone who's faced more than their share of design that needs help, the downloadable pdfs provide handy pre-printed critiques like, "Severe lack of creativity" and "Kern this!" We particularly like "Hire a copywriter" and "Do not get en and em dashes mixed up."

While the stickers might make crits easier (if you were to actually use them), they probably won't make them much less painful. Either way, they're sure to get a chuckle from any frustrated designer or art director faced with the predictable set of errors and equally predictable responses.

A Swedish outfit called Illuminated World hopes to change that notion by creating Bible Illuminated, a relevant version of the historical book. Set in magazine format, the New Testament publication includes the same time-honored stories paired with photos that conceptualize how they...

The Online Toaster Museum
While we consider toast itself to be one of the greatest snacks of all time (if not for its versatility alone), The Toaster Museum, an online archive of toasters through the ages, suggests that the method of production deserves some credit too. Browsing through the beautifully-photographed and well-organized collection (you can sort using the manufacturer's name, where it was made or by material) is...
