Like Colour | Pink and Green and Watermelon!

Pink and Bright Green might also be colours of the season but

what perfect form to celebrate it in than with watermelon inspired items!

Ive spotted three in the last three weeks and even though it's winter in south africa, im

pretty damn excited about it!

Watermelon Umbrella ! This was in Vida E Cafe's Obrigado Magazine

The Spotted this deliciously awesome Tent on Designboom.

Like Graphic | Landscapes - Swartbergpas by Anton Kannemeyer at Stevenson, JHB

 " For me, the portrait is less abstract than the landscape. In landscape you can find any number of different forms: rocks, trees, plants, stones, sand, grass, boulders, manmade objects such as roads and walls. As far as line is concerned you resolve everything differently. I think this is what gives the image its potency: an unpredictable line.  "  (source)

Like Graphic | Colourful Architectural Plans AJ Cover 28.02.08

People always complain that Architectural Plans are impossible to read.

When I saw this cover I thought, damn pretty candyland, but actually what this colour-usage

does,  is make the plan more legible. Remember those little carpets with roads on that some

boys use to have for playing-cars  - sort of in that line.

Also dig the plain circle dots for trees instead of cad-blocks

The House of Monatic in Salt River , Cape Town makes clothes etc etc

On a recent site visit I discovered to my great amusement that the Posters

decorating the walls have not been touched in what might be about two decades.

Wouldve been grand if I could buy it.
