When I read about the Mondrian Cake I knew that I should be visiting the SFMoMA. Some will visit a museum for the art and me… I’ll be going there for the cakes! Well… not all the time but this time. And yesterday after eating it, and before that staring at it, I had to explore how the magic unfolds. I guess that Caitlin Freeman, the one behind this artsy cake, had a feeling that we all need to know how it’s done so… take a look or even better (depends who are you asking), buy the book and make your very own version!

A Typographer in The Making | Take Twelve
|May 8, 2013

 Apparently the sun is out even in England… Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to hear that BUT after realizing that summer time is also the coldest time here in San Francisco I’m not sure what to do with this devastating information. Oh well, I guess I just have to stick to Liron’s post and dream of sunnier places with blue skies and ocean views. Let’s all pray for lots of sunshine and a rainless summer (fingers crossed!). Oh and… Liron is nearing her end of the school year and that only means that I have to find a way to keep her in the UK or else it’s gonna be game over for her Typographer in The Making the Reading version. or isn’t it?

A weekend in a British countryside – Ditchling. All the course invited by Monotype for a seminar full of calligraphy and letter carving. Lucky enough, we got sunny warm weather to complete the relaxed atmosphere. Staying in Brighton and feeling abroad. Not knowing how emotional and exciting it will be to see the ocean after so long. Waking up early in the morning to catch an hour of sitting on the beach with coffee before leaving. Being shocked that the beach is not sandy, but pebbly. Apparently, my ideas of a beach are not universal.
After three times, managing to enter Hayward’s Light Show. Completely agreeing to all the superlatives and admiring every piece. And the Gallery’s walls. Walking in the rain just to visit another Ottolenghi branch. Never being tired of chasing that place, and beginning to admit that a massive addiction has found its way to my life. Eating lunch in a food market, eating dinner in another. Loving the fact that something is happening in every corner, and in many cases its related to food.
Enjoying a super sunny week. Never tired of talking about sun and the great mood it brings with it. Working on my black weight of the typeface, and hearing comments from all over that “finely, this is bold”. Trying to be brave and make it fatter and fatter, until I think its enough. But then still getting comments like “go bolder!”. I am bold already!!! And so is the typeface… Working outside in the sun with my mac, taking a coffee break outside, a lunch break outside, a little walking break outside. (would this be the moment to thank DesignBreak?) Too hard to sit inside when there is such great weather outside. Although the temperature is Israel’s winter, in the UK it’s considered summer.

5070 | You Know What It Stands For. Right?
|May 4, 2013

50×70 are not just the dimensions of your average poster. It’s a lot more than that! It’s Israel’s most exciting and brand new online store which is all about celebrating the mad talent of some of Israels best illustrators and graphic designers. I think that being one who can illustrate his way through the world is one of the most incredible gifts you can get and that is why I started my very own Illustrated Break in the first place. Although the site is Hebrew friendly, the language of art and design is universal and so all you have to do is start browsing and click on each and every link you can put your mouse on!

Student Break | Liron Loval | Nailing It
|May 3, 2013
Let me share a little secret with you: I’ve been following Liron Loval’s artistic foot steps since her first year student at the Jewelry Design Department at the Shenkar College. I know, it’s crazy! BUT as crazy as it is I felt like there is something special about this super talented girl, and now the time has come to share with you one of her latest creations.
Liron decided to experiment with wood and metal in the most obvious way so she chose nails and wood, however as you can see, the outcome in not nearly obvious (!!!)

Let’s keep this one short and simple: I WANT (scratch this) I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE… like a week ago!
I don’t really know how this is going to work out but I know for sure that my life won’t be complete without this black and white beauty by Cambridge Satchel with the help of fashion designer, Chris Benz.
And… with that being said I’m also dreaming about you too.
I know… I’m a Cambridge Satchel monster!

Sivan Askayo | One Way Ticket to Lisbon
|
I missed writing posts about (1 | 2 | 3 | 4) my fave travel photographer Sivan Askayo. That’s why it’s the perfect time to share with you a glimpse into her latest journey to… LISBON!
To be honest, whenever Sivan tells me about her next destination I know deep in my heart that I’ll be following her foot steps sooner than later. Anyways, if Lisbon is on your wish list (it has to be!) here are some of my favorite Lisbonian posts by Sivan: My express travel guide to Lisbon . Laundry galore in Lisbon . The lisbonnaire flair . Pharmacia restaurant.
One way ticket, here I come!

Usually whenever I bumps into a new shoe catalog most of the time they all feel the same. The shoe is always center stage, usually on a white background and sometimes I spot an actual foot here and there. BUT this time it’s different, really different! The girls behind UnaUna (Almog and Mira) turned to some of their favorite artists and designers and asked them to create a compatible piece of art that will accompany each and every one of their summer 2013 collection aka Reaction. The outcome is refreshing, beautiful, sensitive and intriguing all at the same time.
