Inspired By #6
Hi!
Welcome to the 6th issue of Inspired By. I saw a lot of nice thing this week. Lets get to it...

🚩 Oxford Pennant
Oxford Pennant is a designer and manufacturer of wool felt pennants and banners inspired by American sports traditions. They sell their own, but you can also design them yourself! 👉Here’s one I designed for Mangrove.
👄 Justin Pervose
Justin Pervorse is a designer and illustrator based in Alameda, CA. He hasn’t won any awards that he’s aware of and is completely ok with that.
🐭 Piet Parra
Dutch artist Piet Parra is best known for his curved post-Pop imagery, highly saturated colours, vibrant hand-drawn letters and worlds inhabited by hybrid, surreal characters. And he also has a skatebrand for veteran skaters: Tired Skateboards 🛹
🦸♂️ Super Team Deluxe™
Just as the prophecies foretold, Super Team Deluxe™ is a collaborative funhouse built by Justin and Rogie — surfing the void, hammering away at a Commodore 64 keyboard with their meaty stumps. These dubious machinations are but the harvest of their unholy union. Check out their awesome pins, patches, stickers and more:
🏛 The Heads Of State
For over 15 years, Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers have been working together as The Heads of State, a design/illustration studio. I love their bold imagery and branding, that's why I bought one of their Travel Posters, NYC obviously...
🎮 Play Date
You might know Panic from software (Transmit) and games (Firewatch, Untitled Goose Game) and now they're launching Playdate, a brand new handheld gaming system. It’s yellow. It fits in your pocket. It’s got a beautiful black and white screen. It’s not super cheap, but not super expensive. It includes brand new games from some amazing creators. Plus it has a crank.
Playdate
It’s yellow. It fits in your pocket. There’s a crank. It comes with 24 free games to get you started. Say hi to Playdate from Panic.
📙 Laying the Foundations
This is real talk about creating design systems and digital brand guidelines. No jargon, no glossing over the hard realities, and no company hat. Just good advice, experience, and practical tips.
Design Systems Book — Laying the Foundations
A book about design systems by Andrew Couldwell. This is real talk about creating design systems and digital brand guidelines. No jargon, no glossing over the hard realities, and no company hat. Just good advice, experience, and practical tips.
💗 Font: Editorial New
I love it when Type Foundries build awesome mini-sites for their new fonts, and this one is a beauty. "In this fresh and compelling experience, Locomotive was able to capture and showcase the essence of what makes Editorial New such a versatile and powerful typeface."
That’s all for the 6th issue of Inspired By. Hope you liked it and see you next time! ✌️
