If people like the links maybe it’ll become a tradition, who knows. But here are some posts that I loved this week:

Illustrated Wedding Invitations by Oh, So Beautiful Paper – these simple illustrated invitations are gorgeous. I loved the color and the illustration is so loose and cartoony; it just really made the invitation light and personal.

Gilded Wedding Invites by Oh, So Beautiful Paper – the presentation of these is awesome. I love the folder the pieces come in and metallic gold makes everything over-the-top.

Pandora Rules by TechCrunch – I love Pandora and am happy to see it growing…also happy to see it still going after it had to find against the music industry so hard.

IC Shirt! by Grain Edit - preorder your limited edition Invisible Creature v. Grain Edit shirt. The illustration and shirt color are beautiful, and a great gift for any designer on your list.

Joakim Portfolio by It’s Nice That – I love this guys work!

Those are just a few of the things I’ve been digging this week. What have you been reading? Feel free to drop a link in the comments section, and I hope you find some things you like on the blogs I listed; they are a great resource full of inspiration and though-provoking articles that really push me to keep getting better!

If you haven’t checked out the work of Jason Munn, aka The Small Stakes, then you’ve been missing out. From now until the end of the year, Jason is running a special promotion: buy 2 posters, get one free. You choose the first 2 and the third is a hand-selected surprise. What could be better than getting 2 awesomely screenprinted posters? Well…getting 3.

Jason is a huge inspiration to me. His designs are so simple yet remain profound, clever, and well conceived. The color palette is also really in line with trends I’m currently digging; lots of blacks and tans, with some crazy rainbow CMYK mixed in with good measure.

Go buy some now!
