Steve Shanabruch loves design and his home of Chicago. Bringing together these two passions, he’s launched The Chicago Neighbourhoods – One designers take on Chicago.

Steve plans to design a few logos a week until he has covered all  77 community areas of Chicago.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this project progresses. You can track The Chicago Neighbourhoods on both Twitter and Facebook.

If you dig this project, you may also be interested in checking out Branding 10,000 Lakes.

Absolutely stunning work by Miguel Endara. A portrait of his father composed with 3.2 million ink dots.

The depth of talent and sheer patience required to compose this piece is awe-inspiring.

Madrid-based designer, Chacho Puebla has long wanted to do a project with his sister, great-aunt and typography. The result is Grandmother Tips, “just a few tips that my grandmother should have given me, but unfortunately never did.”

The photographs were shot by his sister, Lula.

Easily the most hilarious thing I’ve seen all day. Bravo.

Just in time for the festive season, Brooklyn, NY-based designer Matt Raw has released Code Cards — a series of letterpress greeting cards.

Code Cards connect today’s digital developers with the analog coders of yesteryear. Celebrate your digital heritage with greeting cards featuring old-fashioned, letterpress printed code.

If these don’t sell like hotcakes, I don’t know what will.

If you have a spare 15mins today, I highly recommend watching Roger McNamee’s TED talk – Disruption and Engagement.

He provides an interesting perspective on the future of Google, the rise of Apple, and why HTML5 is the future of the web.
