I can’t imagine a cooler thing in the whole grand history of things found on the intarwebz. Cunicode, a design agency based in Spain, began a 30 day design challenge open to anyone to design one coffee cup per day that would be available for sale in 24 hours.
The results are staggering – here are some of my favorites:

Laura Javier has visualized the data from 10 representative case studies in this fabulous book.
I’ve been in a boring-but-reliable relationship with Office Depot for a long time. They have what I need, but rarely what I want – often lacking design aesthetic, color, and flair.
