Zinkplaat - Mooi Besoedeling Scratch Off Album Cover by Fanakalo

Zinkpaat's scratch-off album cover by Fanakalo is something I haven't seen before. The design has impressed me so much that I looked into the band more and decided they're pretty good to.

Fanakao (the designer) is located in South Africa and has some pretty cool stuff worth checking out also.

Until next time,

Water Well by Jan Inge Björklund at Björklund

Today while reading one our favourite design blogs, the Dieline, I stumbled upon 'Water Well.' As the Dieline stated, "Water Well is a new danish brand that supports danish children, animals, breast cancer and environment in need (CARE)."


I found this most interesting because of the movie, 'What the Bleep Do We Know' , they talk about Dr. Masaru Emoto who believed the way water is treated before entering the human body can effect human's negatively or positively. His methods were through music, prayer and written words on the container of water. This makes a lot of sense considering our contain a high percentage of water.


Check out this clip from the movie:
