Love these fun IDs for the Canadian preschool channel called Family Jr, created by Toronto-based production company Tendril. Unfortunately these spots weren’t selected as the final direction for the station.

“I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.”
Nobody knew, nobody expected the news that David Bowie passed away today at age 69. So many songs I love, such a great talent gone.
Some very interesting topics covered by The School of Life, in their series of new guides for everyday living. Except having great cover designs, I think these look like they are genuinely helpful and thoughtful self-help books.
Other titles include: How to Stay Sane , How to Worry Less about Money , How to Thrive in the Digital Age, How to Age, How To Develop Emotional Health
The French street artist JR has been working on immigration projects for some time now. Last spring, he was approached by the New York Times Magazine, to create a project together. JR chose and photographed 15 immigrants who arrived in New York from all over the world, within the last 365 days. He photographed them walking in the city, all of them unnoticeable and living in the shadows.
On the night of April 11, JR’s team started pasting the image of Elmar, 20 years-old who came from Azerbaijan, on Flatiron plaza in New York City. The image was 150 feet high. People walked on him all day, but no one really noticed him.
A few days later, Elmar was on the cover of the New York Times magazine while everyone else was in the shadows.
See a time-lapse video behind the making of the above cover.
While looking for Christmas gift ideas for my kids, I stumbled upon the Cubic House by French toy company Djeco: A doll house inspired by modern architecture!
Featuring clean geometric lines, large glazed surfaces and colorful interiors, this has to be the most luxurious, modern and beautiful doll house I have ever seen. I almost decided to buy it, but unfortunately the house plus the furnishing & inhabitants do not come cheap, so it is on my future wish-list. Because I told myself, it’s ok to pretend to buy this for my youngest daughter, when in fact I would be getting it for myself!

I selected three of the 12 best book covers of 2015, as chosen by the art director of The New York Times Book Review. The rest are not bad either.

I find these Holly Balloon Sticks very appropriate for the day. They are made out of green card stock and balloons! I don’t like complicated arts and crafts for the kids and this looks really simple and at the same time very impressive!
