So I’ve been on a ooh-new-books jag for a few weeks now, and this is the newest addition to my collection of design-or-food-or-both related books. In this case, A well-designed book about food. Naturally, a Phaidon publication, Where Chefs Eat, A Guide to Chefs’ Favourite Restaurants. “The ultimate restaurant guide chosen by the real experts: more than 400 of the world’s best chefs from Heston Blumenthal to René Redzepi and David Chang.”
For those of you who enjoy nuances as much as I do. PS I love when something someone posted on here is like “Duh, I knew about that already” but it’s even better when your reaction is like “Oh, that is so cool! How did I not notice that before?” Enjoy!
Some of my collection of way too many graphic design books, and then some other books I also read.
There’s something about the purity and complexity of a birds-eye-view photograph of a city. New York provides a particularly interesting subject because of the constancy of yellow against the black streets. I love the contrast and the space in these, and of course, the lines. Enjoy this photographic series, Intersection, by Navid Baraty, featured on Design;Defined.
I wonder if this is available online anywhere for purchase. If so it’s probably thousands of dollars. I love that it’s full bleed!
Apple included corporate logo stickers like this with just about every computer sold by the company from the Apple II era (late 1970s) up to at least the iMac G4 (2002) — the last time I noticed one. This particular sticker came packaged with a 1983 Apple IIe.
