Field Notes Colors - Drink Local Limited Edition

For the 20th limited seasonal release, Field Notes have created the Drink Local Edition, which come in their own 6-pack beer carrier. I don't know how often I'd actually get the pens out and start taking notes when I'm out down the local but I like sentiment behind it. These would be especially handy for those moments you discover a tasty beverage and forget the name 10 minutes later. Scribble down the name and details in your note pad and you're all set for next time. They're on my Christmas list.

The limited editions are available in two 3-packs, Ales and Lagers, come with Field Notes coasters and are all printed on a vintage letterpress in Chicago.

Anders Drage's Mountain Milk

 I'm a big fan of milk, I was promised that if I drank milk, ate all my greens and bread crusts I'd grow up to be big and strong. It didn't really pan out that way, still to this day I drink a load of milk and eat my greens but I'm still pretty slim, the only thing that came out of eating crusts was curly hair (though that's a fib right?).

Who would have though a project about milk could get me so excited. Anders Drage's brief for his final campaign at college was to make some packaging about something he loved. He came up with Mountain Milk, packaging design based on the idea of using the best you can get, Norweigan Milk and making it into an international product. Drage, a Norwegian native wanted to create a luxury bottled milk product which celebrated his country's rich heritage and would have a similar status of a fancy bottled water or beer.

I think it's a cracking idea and something with potential, for me he's got the branding and look spot on. I know people either love or hate milk but what's your opinion on the concept and design? Not bad for a student's work ay?

Over the weekend I reached 500 followers! I'd really like to thank everyone that has ever given up a bit of time to read what I'm actually writing, I've loved every minute of my blogging time and that fact that you guys sharing an interest in my interests just makes it all worth while.  I will be launching another competition later this week as a thank you, so look out for that.

Fun Times This Way

Hand Pressed print by Thursday Press c/o Not On The High Street

This post has been a long time coming, NOTHS sent over this hand made letterpress print about a month ago now and I've had a tricky time trying to find a frame to fit. Let's call it a senior moment, in our house we've never had many picture frames (if we did it's me dressed up as a shepard in the Christmas nativity) so I didn't know about what sizes fit with what. A few weeks searching for a 9x12 frame then it hit me, it's blumming a4. Doy!

Anyway NOTHS offered my a voucher to spend in their store so I picked the Dept. of Messing About print, which is now sitting on top of a pile of books in my bedroom. I picked up the frame in a charity shop for 50p. The print is 1 of 21 and has been made with the old wooden letterpress blocks, the kind you always see at flea markets.

Enjoy your weekend guys.
