Hailing from The People’s Republic of China, photographer Chen Jiagang’s work is visually beautiful. Juxtaposing the many different urban landscapes that span across China (from the cold and harsh backdrops of China’s industrious economic backbone to breathtaking mountains and rivers that could’ve inspired Confucius himself) with his attractive models dressed like characters who stepped out of Wong Kar Wai’s beautiful film 2046, Jiagang’s examines many of China’s ever-changing landscapes, both natural and man-made, through a mix of documentary, conceptual, and staged photography.

I saw this a few days ago on Ste Cav, and I have been obsessed ever since. I have a soft spot in my design heart for anything beard related, so of course I love this branding.

8-Bit Pop-Up Cards
Two ways to create your own: firstly, a tutorial from Mini Eco to create your own Space Invader and pixel skull:
Hello! Remember that pixel heart card I made a while back? Well it has been one of my most popular tutorials to date so I thought I would add another few designs to the collection. Meet ‘space-invader popup’ and ‘skull popup’
… You definitely need a craft knife (and a steady hand) to make these cards this project is only really suitable for adults or teenagers.
Full tutorial here
If, on the other hand, you would like to design your own, there is a piece of software that has been around for years called Pop-Up Card Designer from Japan:

The latest version is Ver.2.1.1
Pop-up Card Designer is a Windows application, which generates unfolded patterns of Pop Up Cards.
With simple interface, you can get unfolded pattern of your original Pop Up Cards.
There is a limitation on the number of grids until you enter a password. Please purchase a password if you want to design more detailed work and to continue the use of this software.

This piece of software comes in both free and Pro versions, which you can check out here
