I originally created this blog to showcase my visual and technical work, provide personal updates, and to include other inspiring examples of good visual design and code. The blog has evolved into much more than that, although I have been posting quite a bit of work that perhaps does not inspire me but could inspire others as design and particularly art are individual.
All of those years ago at university while I was studying to get my Bachelor's degree in Visual Communications, I was told to find a keep examples of design inspiration. These could include posters, brochures, business cards, or anything else that I was inspired by. I started to add these to a box, which I still have today. As the nature of my profession is more along the lines of the virtual (online) and interactive media, I started to include screenshots of web designs or areas of a website that inspired me. I combined some of these into blog posts to refer to later and for others to gather inspiration from.
That leads me to this post. While wandering around Southbank Market in London a few weeks ago, I came upon these cute one-glass bottles of champagne for sale for nine pounds. The small round bottles hold a 125ml glasss of champagne and contain a different charm each, with a "Drink me" label. (At the time of writing and publishing this, I have yet to sample the goods.)
The company behind these cute bottles is Grays and Feather. The product is known as "The Bubble". Each bottle has its own unique silver or gold/bronze charm. I saw stars, keys, hearts, feathers, roses, heart locks, and so much more. I settled on the silver solid heart charm, pictured above.
