The Phraseology Project
“The idea is simple — You submit a letter, word or phrase and we’ll make it look beautiful with type.”
I love type websites like this one, especially when you can buy prints of the type online. The idea was made-up by Drew Melton, in his own words he says:
“In addition to wanting to create work based on community submissions Drew wanted a framework to explore typography further. Up to this point the designs are purely typographic — sometimes diving into a mix of illustration and type.”

Graff to make you feel good
Champagne + Graffiti = Love
You know graffiti is mainstream when the best champagne manufacturers use it for their new Valentine’s Day gift box. Moët & Chandon’s Message On A Bottle gift set is beautiful, with a little edge, kindly provided by the gold graff marker that comes with it. Although I’m not a fan of “graffiti-make-overs” (as I call it) to sell products, I must say this is very cute. And obviously I wouldn’t be mad if someone got it for me… ahem…

Free PUSSY at Girls+Zines!
Seen as I’m a girl and I run a “zine”, when I found out about an event called Girls+Zines at Tatty Devine obviously I was going to go. The event took place throughout August but I only managed to go last weekend, luckily it has been so successful that it is carrying on for the month of September as well, so girls get yourself down there!
The idea is to showcase all the fantastic zines made by girls. The event was organised by Barbara Ryan of BFR Magazine. And thank god she did organise it! What a great idea. One of the walls in the Brick Lane Tatty Devine shop is decorated with tones of zines by girls. There are bean bags and benches to take a seat and read through all of them. The atmosphere in the shop is so relaxed and the staff are so friendly, that you’ll feel completely comfortable to chill there for hours (as I did!)

A great zine dedicated to drawings of Katie Price to colour in:
I took down a few copies of PUSSY for some lucky ladies to be able to pick up a free one!

Not only that, but there is a Zine Exchange box where you can take a free zine if you deposit one:
