art + literature = love at first sight!

so...i know i just posted, but the world must know about this!

every now and then i like to take a peek at Design*Sponge...it's a treat for the eyes, for sure.

normally, i just check out some sweet designs and then go my merry way, but as a lover of art and books i couldn't help but drool over these cloth-bound penguin classics. seriously. you should click the d*s link above to see more pics and read the interview with the designer. i'm in love.




p.s. if i was still teaching...i would TOTALLY use this for a lesson. choosing an icon representative of the literature and turning it into a high contrast, repeating pattern to create a contemporary motif for the cover? talk about perfection!
