My name is Aria and I'm a designer with a horrible memory. This is a collection of the many things I come across in my day that I want to remember. Your interests are probably slightly different than mine, so feel free to click one of these:
ps - you can email me here.
You’ll like this. It requires remarkable feats of engineering.
Sweet printed jars for all your home recipes from UK company Burgon & Ball. Unfortunately the rest of their collection is a little less chic and a little more country home.

The ultimate art history cheat sheet, in the form of a nicely typeset poster. And to think, you went to school for this.

I absolutely love this really simple, graphic wedding invite — 1-color letterpress with so much character.
The amazing UK site, Spot the Tiger, asks a different heated question every week, provides arguments for both sides, and publishes the poll results. More importantly, it chooses a guest artist every week to illustrate the issue. Really fun site to pore through.
Ohhh, so good. I’m always trying to find things to replace ribbon! Wrapping’s easy, I’m a big fan of kraft paper, or chinese newspaper, or free corbis posters. But ribbon’s the tough part — I always want to seal everything off with gorgeous, expensive, grosgrain ribbon. No more! Not with this How About Orange tutorial for making recycled magazine bows.
And this tutorial for making the same bows out of felt, may be even better.
I love this sweet book that Brooke of inchmark journal designed for her grandmother’s 90th birthday. Also check out the awesome invites and favors here.
Great post over at Grain Edit about vintage calendars. Check it out. Then go check out their 2010 calendar picks.
