His Sella chair is a bit out of reach for most of us — especially at £336. Designer, Aldo Parise, created this chair using Everyday bikes retro cruiser saddle and pieces from Home Depot. The base is lemon oil stained poplar. In all it adds up to $40 of material.

It’s sometimes difficult to find good templates you can adapt for clients. The Magazine Basic at Bavotasan.com is a tight WordPress template.

We’ve been able to donate over $800 in graphic design, photography and typography books to various community libraries in Montreal, Edmonton and Chicago. We’d like to thank Azure, CMYK Design, Windham Partners, Insound, Playboy and Stark Photography for their help and generous donations.
