Barton took it upon himself to redesign the Facebook experience with a completely revamped interface and navigation system inspired by Skimmer (app for Facebook/Twitter). This design looks much more elegant and stylish than the current version.
The Facebook Facelift is a self initiated project to challenge the form and functionality of Facebook. It's streamlined, structured and linear interface is more comprehendible, enhancing the user experience and absorbability of content. More info HERE.
Check out a demo video of the new Facebook facelift below.
P/S: I'd very much love to see this as the real Facebook. I hope someone at Facebook is seeing Barton’s work.
"The Kingdom Animalia, a line of wooden animals and their packaging, were all made in the USA. The boxes are made of recycled cardboard, and offset printed. One element of the design system is that there are a few facts about the real life animal on the box. There are 15 different animals in this collection. They are made of sustainably harvested wood and are solid maple. The finishes on the animals (including the paint, stain, and beeswax sealer) are all non-toxic and very low/no VOC. All of the finishes are also made in the USA. They were laser cut and hand finished. They are meant to be decoration for a nursery, bookshelf, and the like. They are not, however, toys for children.” via Lovelypackage.
Incredible posters by Horacio Lorente. He created these posters last year for the The USHUAIA SHH… International Mountain Film Festival. I’ve seen some of his other work circulating on the blogs recently, but really enjoying these series. More Horacio Lorente work can be found HERE.

Design, art direction and bespoke typeface for Nottingham Trent University's Art and Design book. The book includes a multicoloured sketchbook, stickers, postcards and a stencil. The typeface is based on Avant Garde Bold, but uses 24 different patterns to create the letterforms.
The book was printed on a range of paper stocks by GFSmith and Robert Horne, including Colourplan for the cover and sketchbook, different coloured sheets of Transclear and Stardream for the Alumni section. Designed at Un.titled.
Pepsi recently announced they are rebranding. I personally not the fans of this new design..What do you think about this new logo?
Changes will include a graphical redesign of core Pepsi CSDs Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Sierra Mist and a rebranding of some products. Mountain Dew will be renamed as “Mtn Dew” on packages, and Diet Pepsi Max will be known as simply Pepsi Max. The brand’s blue and red globe trademark will become a series of “smiles,” with the central white band arcing at different angles depending on the product. Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max will use all lower-case fonts for name brands. Gatorade will also receive a redesign, focusing the brand on the letter G.
