Ed Kysar – Haydn/Westminster Record Cover

Here is a record put out by Westminster designed by Ed Kysar. Played by the London Baroque Ensemble and conducted by Karl Haas.

Love this design. Took me a split of a second to decide to take this with me. Enjoy!

77 Ideas – Douglas Fir Plywood Booklet

Here’s a wonderful booklet made by Douglas Fir Plywood Association titled 77 Ideas for Remodeling Your Home with Fir Plywood. I believe I’ve seen someone else feature this booklet but I couldn’t find it so I took my own photos of it. It is full of awesome illustrations of modern house projects. This is a real gem. It’s hard to fit the details on the spreads but I did a few closeups and a scan of one section. You can click on some of the images to enlarge. Enjoy!
