Those of you who follow me on Twitter or Facebook know about the twice-weekly feature I run. It's called "Visual Candy" and is meant to provide steady stream of design inspiration to keep the gears turning.

Now it's time to take a look back at design candy from March, and catch up if you missed any of them.

March's candy is all about the details and craftsmanship. Let's delve in.

Book art is very popular at the moment. Maybe books are being viewed more as materials than those things you read and put on a shelf, what with Kindle and other digital versions being readily available. The sheer amount of work and planning that went into this piece is astonishing.

I'm such a fan of this particular "retro" style's come back. It's structured and heavily based on small details - things that are music to my ears.

Again, details, detail, and more details with a touch of that retro style. Simply glorious!

Magical film by Katherine Macnaughton and Aude Leroux Levesque. I've worked with Katherine and her partner Many over at BisFilms and would highly recommend them to anyone. This video certainly ought to give you a good idea of Katherine's talent.
