Graphic designer Leandro Senna sez:

Inspired by Bob Dylan´s Subterranean Homesick Blues video, where he flips cards with the lyrics as the song plays, I decided to recreate those cards with handmade type. I ended up doing all the lyrics, and not just some of the words, as Dylan did.
There are some intentional misspellings and puns on the original song video, so I tried to keep that in a certain way.

Of the gushing, superlative-laden, relentlessly positive reviews of Yelp contributor Katie-Ann M, Orna Cunningham writes:

Having a look at opening times on Yelp, I found this enthusiastic young woman’s reviews. Some personal favourites are Abrekebabra, the particularly incisive critique of River Island and the description of a bread and butter pudding at Bridge Bar and Bistro. Best thing is, she’s written 285 of these ‘odes to the amazing’.

Elsewhere, Irish Ferries is ‘the best-kept secret in the domain of transportation services operating in and out of Dublin.’

Then there’s Oxfam, King Street D2, where ‘everything oozes a disposition that is a lot more vibrant and full of life than most other outlets owing to the items being of such a palpable ‘exotic’ nature.’

And Penney’s, O’Connell Street. ‘I respect Penneys.’

Two ice cream cakes created by London designers Doshi Levien for Häagen-Dazs.

Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien say they were inspired by Georges Méliès’ 1902 silent film Le Voyage dans la Lune, Armenian surrealist Léon Tutundjian’s relief work of 1929, a childhood Bollywood song and the near-spherical shapes of early ice cream bombes. The white moon consists of a pistachio biscuit base, layers of macadamia nut ice cream and meringue and a coating of raspberry ice cream. The orange moon has crunchy chocolate at the bottom, layers of nutty ice cream and salted caramel and a coating of vanilla ice cream.

It’s a trOMNOMNOMNOM
