I was really hoping that there was some kind of sun-sensitive ink used, so I was a little disappointed to see that the color was just printed in reverse on the back side of the page.

So naturally when I see someone creating and innovative extension of the brand it grabs my attention. Like these colorful cases for iphone and ipad that unite digital and print worlds through design. A nostalgic reminder of my days in print with a modern twist that anyone could appreciate. <a href="http://www.case-scenario.com/index.php?id=11113">More info > </a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595156982074059370.post-14401203966147816532011-01-26T14:25:00.003-05:002011-01-26T14:31:22.899-05:00pantone chip cookies<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSgtJVJv7OJk_jm_oOiTptNIla6Tce56fGul85QR8VYyYOkGaRqPfcPl4Bkn9W_yuguJW9ab9fRsQ8HLGQF4RN2lNH7f7SXHOKKnGSXtoslA4E5WNXymL4jPDWFuYp-VbJ2PlhiBNt2A/s1600/PMS-Cookies-detail-3.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSgtJVJv7OJk_jm_oOiTptNIla6Tce56fGul85QR8VYyYOkGaRqPfcPl4Bkn9W_yuguJW9ab9fRsQ8HLGQF4RN2lNH7f7SXHOKKnGSXtoslA4E5WNXymL4jPDWFuYp-VbJ2PlhiBNt2A/s400/PMS-Cookies-detail-3.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566578370297678994" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLYyHZ6udfjwYhEg5m8pCP3fPM0X-IFteLr1pH4PC1Q7qz11RJCZSnvENcs1DnleGeyjVLS7SAFBp29jBx50yHmJykuHefhxX4lMLqrv64KJJko3Q2uAQRnT9n8LVIn2zr9ID2vQDYpw4/s1600/pantone-chip-cookies.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLYyHZ6udfjwYhEg5m8pCP3fPM0X-IFteLr1pH4PC1Q7qz11RJCZSnvENcs1DnleGeyjVLS7SAFBp29jBx50yHmJykuHefhxX4lMLqrv64KJJko3Q2uAQRnT9n8LVIn2zr9ID2vQDYpw4/s400/pantone-chip-cookies.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566578366603319506" /></a><br />Got to love the merging of Pantone and baking. <a href="http://www.kimcreativestar.com/Portfolio/Cures_for_Boredom/Entries/2011/1/1_PANTONE_CHIP_COOKIES!.html">Click here for the recipe and how it was done.</a> Sounds like she worked backwards creating the colors first and then labeling them with the closest Pantone match.

By dropping off a separate pod attached to the top of the train which is full of passengers wanting to exit the train, and attaching on to another one full of passengers wishing to enter the train, 45 minutes of idle time per train cycle is saved.

These vertical containers, called <a href="http://cart.woollypocket.com/Wally-One">Wally Pockets</a>, not only look amazing, they are design in such a smart way, the plants actually benefit from the design, and water is conserved in the process.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
