Burger of the Week #110

It's a macro guide to stacking a sandwich! Designer Jon Chonko has documented the burger, the BLT, the panini and every sandwich imaginable, from a new perspective! 

You can check out his findings on his blog or you can buy the Scanwich book on Modcloth. 

Burger of the Week #109

Not a shock to find McD's on the Burger of the Week. But check out their chalk billboard—hand drawn twice a day in Warsaw, Poland. It's a difference view of McDonalds.

JCP Universe

JcPenney's has been on a ride lately. But personally, every time I go in there, i'm more and more impressed. And nothing is more eye-catching or impressing than Pantone Universe—now available at the JCP.

What a delightful and easy way to infuse your house with tasteful color. 

So use it as an excuse to check out the new JcPenneys!

Burger of the Week #108

Nothing tastier than foodie fiction!

Burger of the Week #107

This week's BOTW isn't so much inspiring as disgusting.... This fast food burger was bought in 1999, and was accidentally left in a closet. 14 years later it's in disturbingly decent condition, thanks to all the preservatives processed in our "food".

Go ahead... take a watch, it'll inspire you to skip the fast food. 

Modcloth with a Local Touch

Last Wednesday, AIGA West Michigan, in partnership with Kendall College of Art in Design, brought in Katia Kuethe, senior creative director from Kate Spade New York. As part of the evening, Kendall students showcased designs from recent apparel projects. 

One of the dresses was highlighted as the winner of a recent Modcloth Make the Cut contest. Winner Athena Anger is a Kendall student and her dress is now being produced and sold on Modcloth.

As soon as I saw it I said, "that's a modcloth dress". It's excited to see a concept brought through to production!

(Not so) Scrambled in the Shell

I don't eat eggs.... but I'm just so damn curious that a video posted on DesignTaxi a few weeks back led to this...

The video shows you how to hardboil a scrambled egg inside its shell. I didn't know how to hard boil and egg, so first I had to try study up on that... and I nailed it (right). The scrambly one didn't so much work though (left). You can see in the pic that its yolk is a little off center, but it certainly isn't scrambled to a nice pretty yellow.

Here's the original video and the effect I was going for!
 
The weirdest part is the noise the egg makes inside the shell as you're spinning it. That is one rattled, dead baby chicken!

There will be a round two of this challenge....
