SPÖKA – the cutest night light ever.

SPÖKA – night light

We own two of these cute little night lights (the green and the blue ones). They are sold at IKEA, in the children section, for $14,99 and come with a charger so there’s no need for them to stay plugged in and no need to ever replace the battery (yeah!).

Paper bags

Paper bags

Paper bags are becoming more and more fashionable, and we like that.

What do graphic designers do when they’re bored?

Yonge Street Bikers

Coors Light – Bus Shelter on King Street

Here at yellow car design, we’re not the biggest Coors Light fans but we appreciate good advertising when we see it. So when we saw that bus shelter on King Street, we thought that it was very cool (haha). We also think that it’s a shame that this . . . → Read More: Coors Light – Bus Shelter on King Street

I really like the simplicity and look of Japanese design in general, so when today at work we received a very nice box of authentic Japanese rice crackers I had to take a picture (well I didn’t have my camera with me so got someone to take it) and share it with . . . → Read More: Nice Packaging – Akasaka Kakiyama
