The Beat That My Heart Skipped – A blog dedicated to daily design inspirations. By Rohini Wahi.

Rifle Paper Co. is one of my favourite stationery brands. I really love San Francisco illustrator Anna Bond’s vintage style and use of colours, but after buying and giving away every possible variation of greeting card of hers for the last few years, it feels like it’s about time I should have something a little more permanent.

Lucky for me the brand has recently begun producing art prints of their most popular designs, but the ones I think are especially beautiful and encapsulate the magic of Bond’s signature charming style are her new City prints. Depicting naive maps and landmarks of capitol cities around the world, each one has the idealised dreaminess of holiday memories.

From $40 I think they would all make perfect souvenirs from your travels.

I wanted to share some amazing graphics I snapped over Easter weekend when I visited the Harry Potter Studios… they were all kept behind a glass case and are all original posters, packaging and books which featured in all the iconic films. They made me feel so full of nostalgia and joy!
