A root cellar on Change Islands, Newfoundland. There is another one here.

A bunch of design links today.

Absolutely stunning covers of eight Penguin Classics developed in partnership with AIDS awareness fund (RED).

Three posters developed for a waxing salon. The funny thing is that when a friend originally posted these on her facebook page I did not clue in that there is more to that particular choice of animals…. My mind just does not work in dirty ways. Sorry.

An interesting blog about design from Australia.

Top ten in custom letters for 2009.

Work of Croatian designer Vladimir Končar.

And Thinking for a Living is a site/magazine about all sorts of things. Check out the different sections on top of the page. Navigation takes a bit of getting used to, but then it seems like the most natural thing in the world.

About a month ago, I photographed Newfoundland author Lisa Moore for the Guardian. Today, the Guardian ran the photos and the piece Lisa wrote on grief. Her latest novel, February, is shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize. If I ever manage to get through my grad school readings, that is going to be the first thing on my reading list.

This is not the photo the Guardian ran, but it is one that made my heart skip a beat. The morning I took the photos was very cold. Lisa suggested Signal Hill as a location, which was fine. Except, up there it wasn’t just cold, but very windy as well. As she stood on top of that concrete curb, a gust of wind made her stagger. The last thing I wanted was a photo of Lisa Moore falling into the North Atlantic in January.
