DIY Dock

Here's a clever (and cheap!) alternative to those expensive Apple iPod/iPhone docks by Julien Madérou... Just get your scissors out!

Pretty Amazing

Well that's what I think of this work by Jan Vormann.

Part of an ongoing project, Dispatchwork sees Jan travelling the world to 'repair' cities with the humble Lego brick. Places that have been 'playfully conquered' (as he puts it) so far include Bocchignano, Tel Aviv, Berlin, Amsterdam, Belgrade, Arnsberg and St. Petersburg. And he has plans to do more... you may find one of these little wonders near you soon!

E17 Art Trail

I caught up with a couple of of friends of mine this weekend to see what they had been up to. It would appear quite a lot! As part of the annual E17 Art Trail held in and around London's Walthamstow they have built this fantastic installation in their back garden.

Sonya Sabbagh, a print maker/artist and Jade Myrie, who studies carpentry, have created a collaborative sculpture installation made from wood collected around the Walthamstow area, which also incorporates etchings and works on paper. It will be interesting to see how the installation evolves as it weathers the elements and becomes part of the surroundings in which it is built. Not to mention how the snails continue to take to it...

Tessellation from the Nation

...Of Morocco that is. I got a quite into all the beautiful tessellating patterns in Morocco whilst I was there recently. They're hard to miss as they adorn almost every surface, be it floor, wall or ceiling. A traditional style, yet the colourfulness and geometric patterns are echoed in all walks of contemporary design.

Matchbox Heaven

I've recently been salivating over this beautiful collection of Eastern European matchboxes on Flickr. Mainly from the 50's and 60's, these small wonders contain beautiful detail and communicate so much so simply. The bold, colourful design will definitely be inspiring me soon...

Morocco

A recent dream holiday to Morocco and photographic opportunities everywhere. From the seaside town of Essaouira to Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains, the sights, sounds and smells were a treat to the senses. I am so going back to this country.

21 Years Disney

To celebrate their 21st anniversary, the London Disney Headquarters commissioned me to create a mosaic style artwork with the iconic Mickey Mouse; using photos of staff and images of some people's favourite Disney movies to make up the mosaic.

Molly's Game

Hot off the press... Just finished the artwork for the debut EP from Brighton band Molly's Game. With music that's a mixture of electro and riot grrl, they're an eclectic bunch with many sides to their personalities; I think this cover truly reflects this.

If you want to check them out they're playing live tomorrow night at The Hope in Brighton, and you'll also be able to pick up a copy of the EP!

Don't Panic: Vitamin Water Competition

Size, Format, Stock... What else?

The nice people at Fenner have just sent me this handy little booklet. It's an invaluable reference for all graphic designers detailing what you need to know about paper types, binding etc. Really beautifully designed too!

Zeixs Books... Published!

I've finally received copies of two of the recently published books in the Design Cube series by Zeixs. Here you can see one of my logo designs in all it's published glory, and the book below features a few posters.

You can get a copy from Amazon and I'll shortly be getting the other two books in the series that feature my work.

Let's Tessellate - Courtesy of Laura Brown

An ode to that special someone... Or just a geeky maths related joke? Well, a bit of both probably!

This is the latest print by artist and designer Laura Brown, who just happens to be the other half of collaboration, BrownFerrari. Watch this space for more news; exciting things are a-brewing!

From Iceland with Love

Wow. Iceland. A beautiful country with amazing countryside. Leave the capital, Reykjavik and looks like you're on the moon. Craters and mountains. Not to mention a few geysers. A great chance to try out my new camera. Reykjavik is a great city too. Small as it is, it's buzzing with culture and creativity. And of course quite a few cool bars and shops to be enjoyed.

Life's Essentials

Aren't these little shakers beautiful? David Shrigley has used his classic dark humour to give a twist to these everyday items. You can pick them up now at the Concrete Hermit shop.

Twit Twit Twitter

I've done it... I've given in and jumped on the Twitter bandwagon. I've not really got into it yet or written much, but I'm sure I'll be addicted to it before you know it.

I think I need to get out more. www.twitter.com/sarahferrari

Daydream Magazine II

I've finally got my grubby hands on a copy of Daydream so you can see the final printed beauty for yourself. You can still get your hands on a copy here.

Back in Action

Finally... new flat, laptop back, projects ahoy!

After a leak-disaster in my old flat, where my laptop was found sitting in a puddle in my living room; it has finally been brought back from the dead!

And now I'm in a lovely new flat (above)... so it's all gravy and there will actually be some new posts from me as I can do stuff - yay!

The beginning...

The beginnings have arrived... printed and ready to be suited and booted. Watch this space...

Merry Christmas by Colour

I hope you've had a grand xmas... I know I have, but I can't wait 'til 2009! Here's a little project run by Raw Design with all the profits going to Calm. Yep, that's me there, under 'Tacky tinsel Gold'!
