LOL: Blog Hilariously Imagines Famous Personalities With ‘One Tiny Hand’

‘One Tiny Hand’ is a blog that contains photoshopped images of famous personalities with—well, one tiny hand.



Created last year, the blog hilariously pokes fun at personalities—like Don Drapper, Grumpy Cat and President Barrack Obama—all of whom have had their one hand reduced in size.

A Range Of Attractive Bottled Beer Inspired By An Iconic German Typeface





Portuguese communications designer João Andrade likes the Akzidenz-Grotesk—a German san serif typeface first published in 1896—so much that he decided to create a beer in honor of it.



To celebrate the popular and very versatile font,—which the designer hails as “one of the greatest and most influential typographies in history”—Andrade has created a total of five beer bottle designs, with each one corresponding to a specific version of the typeface.



Matching the different weights and widths of the typeface to the amount of alcohol in each beer, the Akzidenz-Grotesk beer comes in light, medium, bold, extra and super.



We are hoping that the designer will decide to work with a brewery and turn this attractive branding project into an actual beer.

Brilliantly Illustrated Cookbook Shows Recipes As Infographics





New York-based designer and illustrator Katie Shelly has created an ingenious new cookbook that translates recipes into easy-to-follow infographics.



Knowing how tedious it can be to wade through text-heavy recipes, Shelly’s illustrated instructions keep words to a minimal, and instead, use simple drawings and arrows to bring their messages across.



From a simple recipe for Ginger Tea to a labor-intensive Rice Pudding, Picture Cook: See. Make. Eat “distills 50 homey recipes into their most basic components and renders them step by step in enchanting line drawings like nothing ever seen in a cookbook”.



If you are a visual learner, you would appreciate the charming drawings in this unusual cookbook, which would allow you to pick up complicated dishes at a glance.



Picture Cook is set to be released in October 2013, but you can preorder it right now on Amazon—preview some of the recipes featured in the book below.
