A Celebration to Feminism and Equality
illustrationCommentToday marks the 171th birthday to Dame Millicent Fawcett, a trail blazer feminist who championed relentlessly for equality and was a leading figure for the womanβs suffrage movement.
Aptly, today's Google Doodles celebrates such a great leading light in feminism, with illustrations on Millicent Fawcett drawn by London based illustrator Pearl Law.
In addition to these great illustrations to celebrate this leading lady, Google has setup a website that celebrates 100 Years to Women's Vote, with a webpage titled Road To Equality which is part of Google Arts & Culture.
In the webpage Road to Equality, you will find many enriching information from the history archives and stories of women that champion equality and feminist rights; from voting rights in the Suffragette movement up to including modern day issues such as period poverty.
This is an absolutely wonderful webpage celebrating feminism just like a curated museum online, filled with all the information, news articles and films footages. A must visit site.
The website also includes many selected artwork, graphics and meaningful banners design that were used during the different movements across time, that provides great insight to the typography, graphics and branding used to design for the different movements.
One section which particularly captures us is Google has set up a section called which defines the movement by colours. Via the "Colour Explorer" you can explore beyond the purple and green colours one would typically associate with the Suffragette movement, but the full rainbow spectrum of colours that were used in the graphics for various feminist movements.
We have included below a small carousel of snippets of the interesting plethora of images, categorised by colours, to take a page from history.
Floral Arrangements Balloon Style
photography, design, colourCommentBerlin based artist Sarah Illenberger's new work Solid Air which features photography prints of balloon floral bouquets are a real joy. The fun composition of balloons in different colours, shapes and pattern captured in these photo prints are wΓΌnderbar! The colour combinations are a real pop of joy. Florally pleased flower arrangements.
Kobe Snoopy Peanuts Hotel
design, travelCommentThis makes us really happy. Woohoo! For all the Peanuts / Snoopy fans out there we are so glad to know that there will be a Peanuts Hotel opening in Kobe, Japan on the 1st August 2018. According to the website, room and hotel booking will commence on the 9th July at 10am, Japan time.
Snippets from the Peanuts Hotel instagram account are lovely, fun, clean graphics that will be used in the 18-room hotel which will be spread across 3 different floors, where each floor will hold the theme of "Happy", "Love" and "Imagine". Snoopy, you are so cool, Joe Cool!
Let's Stair Staircase Photography

Perfect Sandwich Ratios
yum, just sayingCommentThis is kinda big cheese. It's British Sandwich Week, from the 20th to 26th May 2018, a week dedicated to celebrate bread with fillings. In the UK, we consume around 3,500,000,000 sandwiches a year. So how do we construct a perfect sandwich?
Thanks to the cheese makers, West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers, that makes PDO (protected designation of origin) status cheddar cheeses have constructed a "Sandwich Computer" which they have called "The Sarniematic & Cheddar-O-Meter", that will give you the perfect formula and ratio, the ratio apparently called the "Sarnie Strata Ratio" to make the perfect sandwich.
We love the little quirks and puns that come with the Sandwich robot, especially when it asks whether you would like to have any lettuce with your sandwich. If it's a no, they have termed it "Leaf it out". If you have pickle and mayonnaise together on your sarnie, you will be given a "Cross Dressing Alert"! Tee hee hee. We like the humour.
Perfect sandwich measurements and ratio. Note*: Cross dressing alert when Mayonnaise and Pickle are added to the sandwich. Whoops!
H&M Harry and Meghan's Wedding Memorabilia
just saying, designCommentRoyal wedding fever! It's about a week to go to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding at Windsor Castle. London communications agency KesselsKramer has set up a website Unroyal Wedding, an unruly play on some alternative Royal Wedding souvenirs, filled with irreverent humour printed on plates that are commemorative memorabilia to celebrate the royal wedding in an unroyal way.
For football fans out there, this set of unroyal crockery also has a cheeky take on the fact that the royal wedding is held on the same day as the FA cup, so wedding or football? Both are possible. For fashion fans out there, H&M gets a mention too.
