Happy Valentine’s Day

I don’t know about you, but nothing says ‘Valentine’s Day’ to me quite like a child playing with a gun.

Except maybe herring. But for some reason nobody seems to make Valentine’s Day cards involving –

– Oh! Well. Good.

More in this Flickr set of vintage Valentine’s Day cards.

Happy

A beautiful and grisly cover.

Happy by Alex Lemon, designed by Rex Bonomellii

Happy by Alex Lemon, designed by Rex Bonomelli.

From Book Covers Anonymous:

The black portion of the cover is actually the jacket – a bellyband. The yellow portion is printed directly on the case. This is a memoir by a star college baseball player nicknamed Happy who [suffers] a stroke and two subsequent brain bleeds.

Book-specific bookmarks

A nice concept: book designs completed by a bookmark.

Prev — Next (4 images total)
  • Alice Adventures in Wonderland with bookmark – designed by Igor Udushlivy
  • Moby Dick with bookmark – designed by Igor Udushlivy
  • Robin Hood with bookmark – designed by Igor Udushlivy
  • The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes with bookmark – designed by Igor Udushlivy

By graphic designer and illustrator Igor Udushlivy.
See the full set.

Maybe impractical in this execution (the designs would be too impoverished when the bookmarks weren’t carefully in place) but still, fun and interesting, and I bet there’s interesting things you could do designing bookmarks for specific titles. A rasher of bacon for Eating Animals, maybe – keep Stephen Colbert happy.
