Putty in your hands
If you’ve thought so hard you just don’t think you can think anymore, take a break and whip out a container of Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty. Available in 1/5-lb tins—or for the serious ponderer, 1-lb bags—this malleable putty will sooth your head and your hands. Visit www.puttyworld.com and choose from a selection of metallic colors and glow-in-the-dark varieties. Stretch, squeeze, and sculpt to your heart’s content, then think about getting back to work.

Head of the class

But only those who take time to study letterhead layout basics will understand how to effectively brand a business using the simplest form of written communication: the letter. Design Rules for Letterhead discusses practical issues such as paper size, typography, text organization, printing, and electronic letterheads. Over 75 examples illustrate attractive embossed, die-cut, and colored stationary and complimentary envelopes, business cards, and more.
