I CANNOT HELP IT. http://teapartydesign.com/blog/2009/10/blim-market-event/ I found the book we bound for Lisa Nakamura! That was a nice summer rush-delivery project. :) It was a 7x7" photo album with beautiful black photo pages with a custom spine design. Concept and design is all Rethink. Here is the rest of the collateral that goes with the book. Very ... http://teapartydesign.com/blog/2009/10/crop-book-for-rethink/ Alright, so I'm assuming you've noticed how CL and I have basically just dropped from the face of the earth.

For me, we started Tea Party as a way to keep busy, nestled ... http://teapartydesign.com/blog/2009/09/where-are-ginger-chloe/ An interesting article I came across via Design Observer: "No More Posters!

It was really fun and interesting to have done this project, especially cool to be privy to such personal photos. It certainly was a pleasure putting this together, and by the end, Chloe & I started feeling like part of the family. ... http://teapartydesign.com/blog/2009/07/wotherspoon/ Chloe's fashion shoot blooper while documenting our first job for David Wotherspoon. She was fixing her inside-out t-shirt's tag when my finger slipped and took a photo. Look nice, though, no? http://teapartydesign.com/blog/2009/07/photo-documenting/ Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see us! Super hot day. Jane tried her best to get us a table under a tree, yet it proved worthless as we both went home with tans the shape of our shirts. :( The "Profound Thoughts" travel book was quite popular, which I am ... http://teapartydesign.com/blog/2009/07/blim-community-market/ A second update! How special! This is perhaps my favourite book to date. The travel companion for many of us who bump into epiphanies and moments that make us rethink the world once in a while. Especially for those of us with the opportunity to travel and extend our horizons, you ... http://teapartydesign.com/blog/2009/07/profound-thoughts/ Some nice people have been over at our studio to say hello (and steal internet)!
