I usually dont like floral prints on anything really. But Blue Ribbon does it so well, its hard not to! See more here. A few of my faves below – I really like the Chrysanthemums design.

Blue Ribbon design offers the option of buying printable letterpress invites with matching note cards so you can customize as you like.

And last but not least, how great are these cupcake ribbons! And if that wasn’t enough, you can get matching patterns/prints to your invites, etc.

Cool artwork and typography use – more here.

Neshan is a professional and education magazine with the intention of ameiliorating ties between the graphic designers of Iran, Asia and all parts of the world. (taken from the site here)

Excerpt from an overview of political design in Iran:

“With the publication of newspapers and magazines, political graphics were also born in Iran. . . After several years, political graphics in Iran found a new niche in the 1950s. Certainly, the special circumstances of that period affected this rebirth; the presence of leftist and rightist parties and enthusiasts of political ideologies, the supporters and opponents of the nationalized oil industry, the Shah?s opponents, etc. The walls, posters, advertisements and the press displayed a new face of Iran?s political graphics.”

This is just genius! At Fred Flare($11).

Discovered on Design*Sponge – thought this paper design was really simple and really pretty! Kamal started “Art on Paper” through her inspiration of designing invitations.
