keep calm and...

If you have been a reader of design blogs for the past year or so, you would have most definitely noticed the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster craze that swept the design world! Originally created as a motivational poster by the British government at the start of World War II, it has recently been rediscovered and reproduced as motivational art {you can purchase some high-quality reproductions in many colours here}. I will admit that, unable to decide on a colour, I have purchased one or two of these posters meself!

But lately I've been seeing some creative and humorous twists on the 'Keep Calm' poster...check out this very cool 'Keep Calm and Rock On' poster...perfect for my guitar-playing, rockstar hubby!

And how perfect would this poster be for Miss Cuppie?! So cute! By Jenny's Bake Shop.

This card by Earmark might be going a bit far bit it did give me a chuckle.

Happy weekend Bloomies...keep calm but have a good one!

When P. and I were in Chicago for a mini-break in July, we passed by a frame store and saw this cool graphic poster. I have a thing for typography, so I just had to have it! And what a great momento from our trip - a decor statement without the cheese factor of the usual gift shop junk! 

Created by Ork Posters, I just took a boo at their website and was happy to see that the poster was printed on 100% recycled paper with soy-based inks! And that they have a city neighbourhood poster for many other places. The Toronto poster is coming soon! Be sure to check our Ork...I really like their heart poster too.

Happy weekend!
