School is back in session, so I thought this week we’d throw out a nod to retro lunchboxes. I love the simplicity of these classic styles. We need to get a collection going here in the Pocketstop office. Anyone have something they want to throw in?

Loving anamorphic typography right now. It’s an illusion where type looks just right (and 2D) when seen from a specific point of view, but it looks stretched and warped when viewed from elsewhere in the room. Can you see this in your home or office? What about a cool print ad?

Here at Pocketstop HQ, we’ve been through several (dozen) rounds of creative, working to get our new business cards just right. They are going to make their big debut soon, but in the meantime, I want to share some super creative business card ideas that define thinking outside of the box (or rectangle as it may be).

iPhoneography. Heard of it? If you don’t know much about the prevailing trend of using iPhones to create professional caliber photography, you should. Photographers from every corner of the globe are creating innovative ways to use iPhones to get shots most of us couldn’t get with our best DSLR. There’s even an annual awards competition for the best iPhone photographs. Check out a few of my favorites below.
