Graphic Design Likes

Lately I've run across some neat graphic design items, but they don't seem to really fit into a category or theme. So today I'm going to lump them all together and share them. I have three things and two people to feature today.

[three things]
The first thing I want to show you is actually for a specific person who will know who she is when she sees it. :) It's an invitation to a celebratory party for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. It's very fancy and sophisticated in style, but it's printed on wood and has metallic foil, which I think is so unusual and cool. The typography and the layout are also really well done.

Next up are some neat graphic book cover images, via Present&Correct. I love how retro the patterns are, especially the gray one (my favorite color!).

I found the materials for a conference called Catalyst recently and I like them a lot. It has a pretty simple color scheme which is good, and I like how all the different elements work together.

The first person I want to mention is Mary Kate McDevitt. I like her type work on Etsy. Here are two of her products. I love how joyful and whimsical her style is!

I like some of the work Scott Campbell does, too. (Found via Grain Edit.) His style is cool - it has a bit of a collage feel to it. Here are two pieces I like:

I hope you enjoyed this little collection! Which items do you like best?

I LOVE the NASCAR invitations!! (I actually never knew that all the Chase drivers went to a party, haha. :D) That's so cool that the invitations are printed on wood! They look amazing!!
