Bands under the influence… of cassettes

By admin | Published: June 1, 2010
Whoa. Ok, I know bands like to put images of cassette tapes on their covers but, they really, really like naming themselves after them. So yet again the lowly cassette is honoured in a weird and wonderful way. Maybe these bands will despise me for putting together this list potentially bringing attention to their, um, unoriginality. Maybe [...]

Business cards on cassette

By admin | Published: September 29, 2009
Sweet idea. I really like the fact that the cassette case is used to carry the cards and the case’s spool ‘bits’ keep the cards nice and neat. Unfortunately, like all good ideas, this is bound to generate many imitations! There seems to be more and more cassette-influenced design and fashion pieces popping up here and [...]
