Great album cover for local Afrikaans band Zinkplaat (literally translated as corrugated metal). Using the name of the band and the title of the album (translated as Beautiful Pollution) as inspiration, visual communication studio Fanakalo created a scratch off silver cover that can be removed with a supplied guitar pick (nice touch).

Swedish IKEA’s new cookbook “Hembakat är Bäst” features awesome photography by Carl Kleiner. I like people who look at things in a different way.

I really like the packaging for Australian ale brand White Rabbit. The white rabbit appears in a different place in the forest illustration on each bottle.
