Unfortunately I have not been blessed with a superman body that never gets ill, quite the opposite in fact. There are no packaging’s as boring as the ones I gets my medicine in, and I would love to spice it up with these elegant and funny pill-boxes from helpineedhelp. I really think they are a great inspiration to the rest of the medical industry in how they have managed to give their products a funny, yet communicative and well-functional design, and the cream of the crop is that the boxes are made of corn resin and paper pulps so that they are compostable. Oh, and if you are board they can actually help you with that as well on their page! (more…)

I have recently moved into the smallest, but also most cozy apartment ever, and I´m therefore a bit tuned into practical yet good looking solutions to interior and decorating. I must say I like this wall-mounted coat rack called Ribbon. Its inspired by a ribbon blowing in the wind, it bridges the gap between function and art – it is a practical, everyday storage solution when in use, and sculptural wall art when free from coats!

One great tip I got over the summer was from Tom, telling me about these two typographers Pierre and Damian from pleaseletmedesign, who has collaborated with the pro race pilot Stef van Campenhoudt in making a new font! The font was made using a Toyota iQ car and a custom software, designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman, tracking the cars movements. The result is a quit a nice font witch you can download for free here! Check out the making of the font in the movie under, and press more to see more images! (more…)

I am back in the city and finally back to a steady internet connection, so its time to start posting again! First of I just want to say thank you so much for filling up my inbox while I’ve been gone, its really great to come back to so many inspiring tips on what I should write about! So please continue to send me your stuff, and stay tuned for more design news! Ps. Over you see just a simple illustration I’ve made… its really describing of the Norwegian summer, with birds, flowers and off course lots of rain!! xxx

Right now I am at my summerhouse, on summer vacation and with a crappy Internet connection. So if there will be a little less activity here at playmedesign for the next two weeks, you now know why, but i promise ill be back with more in august. In the meantime; I got his strange email about this guy Jayden Osborn, supposedly being born as Kerry Parkes (some rich dudes) son, and how he didn’t wanted to be in heritage of a big fortune….blablabla… the point is; he makes some quite nice illustrations! Take a look! (more…)
