If you’re like me, and have a MacBook (Pro), you probably didn’t pick the MacBook just because it’s stylish but I bet it helped. In general, I think graphic designers are fairly stylish people. After all, visuals and appearance are our job—so why is it then that there aren’t a lot of nice laptop bags for us to put our MacBooks in? In the last year, I’ve been on and off looking for cases and have found a ton of options. I’ve narrowed them down to some of my favourites (in no particular order).

• 1. be.ez LEvertigo
• 2. Chrome Bags Sleeve
• 3. Rainer Spehl Wooden Laptop Case
• 4. Hard Graft 2UNFOLD
• 5. Incase Canvas Vertical Sling
• 6. iSkin SOHO

Another addition of Weekly Faves coming to you with some magazines, posters and, of course, clothes.

• 1. Fantastic Man magazine
• 2. The Hound of Baskervilles book cover t-shirt
• 3. Dieter Rams “10 Principles” poster
• 4. Tanya Johnston’s Transcendence 16″x20″ print
• 5. Noah and the Whale’s “The First Days of Spring” film

Looks like Weekly Faves is more like Bi-Weekly Faves. School is hectic but here goes.

• 1. It’s Nice That “If Drawing’s Were Photographs” booklet
• 2. Levi’s Japan Vintage Elk suspenders

I have redesigned the TJR website to separate the portfolio from the blog. I am still in the process of transitioning over so bear with me here.
