More Than The BBC

Like many of us in the Americas, graphic designer Tim Ritz is a huge fan of British television programs. He may be a bit more obsessed than the average TV viewer though. Ritz has used his extensive knowledge of British programs to create The Great British Television Map. You can learn more about his project and even purchase prints on his website. I just want to know why he dissed Reginald Perrin.

Foire du Livre

I was amused to see that this year’s Foire du Livre de Bruxelles is being promoted by the city’s unofficial mascot. The Manneken Pis, a diminutive 17th century bronze statue, is dressed in a new print covered outfit and is holding a book to celebrate the annual book fair.

If you haven’t been to Brussels, the little sculpture can be found in the heart of the city and is dressed in a different colorful costume several times a week. He even has his own nonprofit organization to supervise his outfit collection.

Pop Into Berlin

Pop-into-Berlin-1-800x533

Berlin is trying to get our attention with the Pop into Berlin traveling pop-up store and show. The city’s promotional agency Berlin Partner and Visit Berlin have been offering a taste of Berlin around Europe with a clever project featuring displays from twenty or so Berlin companies. Pop into Berlin also promotes examples of the city’s cultural and foodie scene. So far the pop-up stores have shown up in Stockholm, Vienna, London, Paris, and Amsterdam.
