Video Stuff - DIY Can Organizer

My mum was looking for a practical rack to design for her kitchen so I searched the net and I found a lot of pictures for storage ideas. The one my mum loved was the one below because it looks so neat.








I also stumbled upon this awesome pantry idea that works which is a can storage bin / can rotating rack / can organizer. You can purchase them here at CanOrganizer which is made out of cardboard and you are required to assemble them yourself since they come in flat packs. On the other hand, if you find them quite expensive you can make it yourself. The great idea of DIY is that you can customize it according to your own shelf and the cans that you buy. Below is an example of the pantry that uses the DIY can organizer; the origin of the DIY idea, The Pantry Panel. The best thing about this is that its based on the "first in first out" (FIFO) basis. So you will never have to worry about cans that are bought earlier but stocked at the back of the shelf making it hard to reach and before you know it, the food is expired.






The original idea came from the grandpa of the blogger The Pantry Panel but since there were some problems for them to post the idea on blogspot, the girls from Food Storage Made Easy was kind enough to post them on their website. You can get the so-called blueprint of the idea here and get the detailed instruction and step-by-step pictures here. So how does the outcome looks like? Enjoy the video below.

Looking for new fonts

I just love to look at adverts. Although I am not into designing, I find myself criticising on ads or packaging that does not appeal to my interest. One of the main factor wold have to be the fonts used.









Erk..where am I heading off to? Actually I wanted to tell you guys about this particular website that I love to go fishing for fonts. Yup, fonts. I started to like the different designs of fonts when I wanted to use them in my power point presentation. I hoped that by using different fonts it would've standed out a little better than all the rest and it did work...for those who have an eye for design though...






So, here's the link. Btw, as I'm blogging this, the webpage can't seem to load but I will let you guys now when their okay.






Below are some of the names of fonts that I like:
-Bleeding Cowboys
-ABite
-28 Days Later
-Riesling
-Top Secret
-Velocity
-Samarkan
-Capture It
-Champagne & Limousines






I haven't had the time yet to show you what it looks like because I don't have much time this morning to do so but I will update this post to let you guys see the sample of the fonts above and I will also post a tutorial on how to download and install the fonts to get it working for you. Just hope that the site will load so that I can show you how *fingers crossed* :)
