Zara Picken’s ‘Modern Illustration’
Modern Illustration is a project by illustrator Zara Picken, featuring print artefacts from her extensive personal collection. Her aim is to preserve and document outstanding examples of mid-20th century commercial art, creating an accessible resource for understanding illustration history.
Glorious collection of mid-century illustrations and graphic design. Also a good follow on Instagram. (Via Dan Cederholm.)

[Sponsor] Finalist Daily Planner for iOS
Finalist is an iOS planner rooted in paper. Originally an index card system, it grew into a love letter to paper planners. You know the kind, leather folders with colored tabs and translucent dividers.
Unlike those old binders, Finalist fills itself with your calendars, reminders and weather forecast. Minimalist? Maybe not, but it’s become a UI playground designed to inspire, and looks great on iPad and Mac too.
Like the gorgeous new Year Planner for roughing in plans with the Highlighter (“intention paintbrush”).
iOS has tons of cool productivity apps. Finalist is a different take, and it might just end up in your dock.
