Zara Atelj. "The Flag series is created by counting the names of countries that are in the news and transforming them to various patterns that - especially as a series - give a good feeling what was happening in which country in a certain period. Taking the same basic idea as a starting point, Atelj created a series based on elements from tradition textile patterns from each country in the world which are transformed and combined into contemporary designs."

For 72 years, researchers at Harvard have been following 824 individuals through war, career, marriage and divorce, parenthood and grandparenthood, and old age. In this book, I've taken 10 representative case studies and visualized their salient character traits, personal timeline, social supports, and physical health to draw conclusions about "the happy life."

Industrial Design Student Andrew Clifford created the A1 Scrabble Set. he A-1 Scrabble designer edition. The purpose of this project was to revive an old, but loved game: Scrabble. The idea was to excite people about typograqphy by giving them the ability to choose what font their scrabble set would come in. The set would come in the font of your choice or with an assorted font pack. The scrabble board and interior box are made out of solid walnut, and the exterior box is made from birch. Each of the 6 board pieces is magnetized to fit together perfectly and each piece slides nicely into its respective slot in the box and is secured by interior magnets as well. The interior of the exterior box as well as the bottoms of the 6 board pieces are lined with cork, to protect them while in use.
