Back to Basics, a collection from Zim and Zou, is where paper sculptures meet bright colors and retro meets traditional. The design duo has put nearly a year’s work into crafting these paper electronics using sustainable paper—including all the scraps.
See more of the handmade process here, along with more of their work on Behance.

Last week, J.K. Rowling had big news for Harry Potter fans—and the publishing world—with the launch of Pottermore. My favorite part of the announcement was this lovely paper animation put together by adam&eve and Andersen M Studios.
Harry Potter, paper cuts, and owls? Magic.

This short film from the New Zealand Book Council combines the art of paper cutting with stop-motion animation to promote books and reading.
Drawing inspiration from Maurice Gee’s classic New Zealand novel, Going West, the intricate video took eight months to complete. More about the inspiration behind the project from Book Council chief executive Noel Murphy:
The idea that lies at the centre of this project is that reading is an activity that surprises, delights, challenges and ignites the imagination.
We wanted to grab people’s attention for just one moment in the hurly burly world of modern media and direct them to the adventure that can be had in one’s own head at the flick of a page.
I am loving this typography set from Etsy’s afavorite that combines typographical wordplay with letterpress loveliness.
Typography Set from afavorite
From the description:
The series is based off some of my favorite & maybe even one not so favorite fonts. Playing on words & meaning while creating visual interest with typography. Perfect for any font savant, designer or typoholic.
The set is currently sold out, but the cards are still available individually in afavorite’s Etsy shop.
