Seeeaaaaatuuuuurrrrrrtles

This shelled reptile can’t retract its head or its extremities into its body like some of its more landed counterparts, but the critter’s sleek lines and tapered body shape allow it to glide through the water with ease. Certain types of this animal can get really big (up to 1,500 pounds, or 680 kilograms), but when you consider the vastness of their habitat, that large size makes a bit more sense. Today, enjoy some facts about sea turtles (super family Chelonioidea).

Scientists can trace sea turtle origins back about 150 million years. Today, there are several species of the sea turtle including: the green turtle, hawksbill turtle, Kemp’s ridley turtle, leatherback turtle, loggerhead turtle, olive ridley turtle, and the flatback sea turtle.

As air-breathing reptiles, sea turtles spend most of their lives in the ocean, but brave females will return to beaches on land to lay their eggs. According to the Sea Turtle Conservancy, turtles will dig out their nesting spots with their four flippers, burrow a space for their body – and their soon-to-drop eggs – and deposit what’s called a “clutch” of eggs before burying it and heading back to sea.

The sex of sea turtles is dependenat on temperature. Warmer temperatures make female hatchlings, and cooler temperatures males. After hatching, baby sea turtles will break free of the sand (usually at night) and rush to the beach. The moon can help them spot the water and orient themselves. Not surprisingly, bigger hatchlings are able to move quicker, which means they’re less likely to fall victim to predators.

Sea turtles don’t have teeth – their jaws are serrated. They eat lots of stuff: everything from jellyfish to sea grasses.

“A Streetcar Named Desire” by Tennessee Williams premiered on Broadway 69 years ago today, December 3, 1947. This photo was taken during rehearsals for the production and ran in the December 15, 1947 review of the play with the following caption: “Her sister and her sister’s Polish husband Stanley (Marlon Brando), after a fierce quarrel brought about by Blanche’s endless meddling, are reconciled in a touching love scene on stairway of their ramshackle little flat.” (Eliot Elisofon—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #1940s #LIFElegends #MarlonBrando

Love this

The world remains cruel, and the sound of falsetto singing hangs heavy in the breeze. Floating near the top of this week’s charts you’ll hear Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Adam Levine and the Weeknd each chasing different highs with mixed results. But let’s assume their hearts are golden. In a society that teaches men to smother their feelings, a burst of falsetto allows a singer to speak a higher, hotter emotional truth. All the young dudes learned this from Green, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and Michael Jackson — a lineage of legends who routinely sounded as if they were vocalizing in a space beyond their physical being. Soul music for real.

Love this packaging

Branding & Packaging for 27 87 Perfumes by Ingrid Picanyol

“Inspired by the Millenial generation, we created a bottle with the shape of the characteristic blunted rectangle from all technological devices. A generation that lives, constantly growing and changing needs a naive design that doesn’t condition them. That’s why the graphic design of the entire collection become a blank canvas for anyone to project their unrestricted imagination. Furthermore, the bottle’s decoration escapes the typical and classical clear glass bottle, inviting us to experience the scent with our most important sense: smell.”

Ingrid Picanyol is a Barcelona-based graphic designer and art director specializing in branding, print and web design. After three years working as a graphic designer at Suki Design Studio, she is now working as a freelance designer. Some people say her work has a delicious simplicity, others find an amazing use of the typography and a careful attention in all the details. Ingrid likes the nature, traveling and of course, what she does for a living. She believes in the sensations, the power of the materials and the discourse.
