wallpaper games
I always thought that if a child of mine ever drew on the wall, I'd frame it. But actually encouraging the domestic graffiti? Leave it to 5.5 Designers to creatively do that. Wallpaper Games is their trio of tic-tac-toes, mazes, and word searches meant for the walls and, as the website says, recommended for bathrooms, waiting rooms and any other room in which you can expect to incur boredom. I especially like the way the magic marker solutions add an accidental abstraction. Maybe this isn't for kids after all!

juxtaposed
Designed by Mike and Maaike, this shelf, made from an 5"x8" hunk of salvaged hardwood, is intended to display the world's religious texts on an even level (as described by the site blankblank). I love the idea of creating a specific place for precious things. Mine would be made for Underworld, Blood Meridian, Ham on Rye...

No, I don't have anger issues...

help!
Help Remedies, a simply named and simply based package design firm (at least to my understanding), offers two products: bandages and acetaminophen. But wait! Before you skip to the next post, please consider this. And the fact that in one fell swoop they have entirely wiped out my nostalgia for the old tin Band-Aid containers.
