You gota love letterpress printing and the work of Priya Patel over @ Love Made Visible. Invites printed by Studio on Fire
I particularly like the clean typography, use of colour and the detailed digital illustrations printed on the vellum sheet of the second invites.
A ton of fashion loveliness over here as well > http://www.pomegranita.com/
Some concepts for the redesign of the usually confusing and badly laid out boarding pass.
Although these days most carriers let you print your own badly designed pass with all the details on an A4 sheet.

The International Network for Training, Education and Research in Burns is a non-profit, independent organisation with collaborating centres currently in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Wales.
Interburns was founded informally in 2006 by three Surgeons. Tom Potokar (Wales, UK), Shobha Chamania (Indore, India) and Shariq Ali (Karachi , Pakistan). In 2007, they decided to formalise their passion for the cause of burn injuries worldwide and in January 2008, Interburns was incorporated as a UK registered charity, which led to an active partnership between the Welsh Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery, UK, Choithram Surgical Research Burns Centre, Indore, India, and Dow University Medical College Burn Unit, Karachi, Pakistan. This core group quickly inspired other international health-care professionals to become involved in the vision.
I designed Interburns first annual report, a 27 page document with the aim to help Interburns raise awareness and funds through donations and as an internal guide to chart the charities progress.

Having decades long experience with Latin typography, Peter Bilak (Typotheque) partnered with Rajesh Kejriwal (Kyoorius Exchange) and Satya Rajpurohit to offer fine quality typefaces for Indian market.
The Indian Type Foundry (ITF) attempts to give as much attention to Non-Latin as to Latin fonts. Our first typeface project is Devanagari, but other scripts, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu will be also covered.
Next to building a library of retail typefaces, ITF will specialise also in creation of custom font
