47. DO YOU JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER?

A friend of mine just showed this to me again, something I haven't seen in almost a year; a website made by eight women now graduating from The London College of Communication.

It's a beautiful project about female identity- a study of the self and its interaction with another.
I Don't Know What's Gotten Into Me explores the synergy between artist and subject as it takes away the glossy lens of the social media and replaces it with another member of the group. 

The eight individual projects each explore a different aspect of personality as the girls define themselves through secrets, reactions, dance and dress up. Put together, the final piece accurately upholds their notion that "a single image can never be a full illustration of the individual."

46. THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH

1.These are works by  Leif Podhajsky, an artist, designer and co-runner of design studio And.
He's best known for designing album covers and artwork for bands and artists such as Lykki Li and Tame Impala, among others. His psychedelic take on geometry and collage make his works endlessly amusing to look at. His pieces are balanced, harmonious and strikingly beautiful with emphasis on "nature, time, magic, love, and the importance of living in the moment."








2.If you're a magazine fiend such as myself then you have probably heard of Purple Fashion Magazine. Now, as these fine collections of glossy editorials are roughly £16 per issue, sometimes the splurge might be a tad too much. So here's their less tangible online diary, filled with daily updates and limitless inspiration and insight:

4. Famous are Dreaming is a series by Portuguese artist Luis Dourado. Although he claims that there is no particular technique he is loyal to, his aesthetic shares likeness that of Leif Podhajsky: psychedelic, geometric and harmonious. I'm selfishly choosing this collection in particular  because it has been a great inspiration for the project I am currently working on, but take a look at the rest of his creations here.
