Several Kiss Me I’m Polish projects will be featured in a new graphic design textbook entitled “Graphic Design: Purpose to Practice.” Written by Scott and Emily Santoro and published by Pearson Prentice Hall, the book is set to hit stores later this year. We’ll keep you posted.

Written by Alison Lewis and Fang-Yu Lin, this is the F.I.T. meets M.I.T. of craft books featuring over 20 projects for battery-powered creations. Among the various craft recipes is one for an aromatherapy sachet that lights up when your undie or sock drawer is opened - a project designed by KMIP’s Agnieszka Gasparska.

Nowy Dziennik (the New York-based Polish Daily News) did a full page feature on Agnieszka Gasparska and Kiss Me I’m Polish entitled “Pocałuj Polkę” (or “Kiss the Polish Girl”). Published in the Memorial Day weekend edition of the newspaper, the article highlighted some of our recent projects as well as the renovation of the KMIP headquarters which was taking place at the time. If you are literate in Polish, you can download a PDF of the article below.

In its July 2007 issue, NYLON Magazine featured the Cute as Hell body wash in a product spotlight entitled “J-POP: Dressing like a Harajuku girl might seem a little far-fetched but these bright, animated accessories have just the right amount of Japanese Kawaii.“

Agnieszka Gasparska was honored to serve on this year’s panel of judges for PRINT’s Annual Business Graphics competition, which also included Stella Bugbee, Bill Darling and Ryan Vanderbilt. Entries spanned a wide range of categories from Retail , Self-Promotion, and Technology, to the Arts, Education, and Non-Profits.

Lesson learned: picking favorites from a vast array of great work is a really tough task.

Spare Magazine, a German lifestyle magazine, featured Candy from Strangers in their March 2007 issue with the following description:

“Finally an entirely neglected but well-funded target audience is being catered to by the industry: The male pedophile from next door. Now he can equip himself for his job at the playground and possibly deduct the tools for his trade from his taxes. All the more fitting is the fact that the product was designed by a New York-based firm called Kiss Me I’m Polish.”

Three custom t-shirts made by Kiss Me I’m Polish were featured in the Fall 2006 exhibition entitled “TO A T.”
