After our last post, it was great to see that we’re not the only ones with an obsession for micro-graphics. What feels like a very niche interest clearly resonates across the design world.
These details sit quietly on packaging, labels, stickers, and tags. Easily overlooked, until you start paying attention. Suddenly, you see them everywhere.
Look closer and patterns begin to appear. Grids, condensed type, warning icons, compliance copy. Information compressed into a neat visual system.
Functional, yes… but also beautiful. What began as pure utility has become something unintentionally artistic.
You don’t need to look far. Micro-graphics live in the everyday: the back of a charger, the fine print on an invoice, the inside of a jacket.
Spot them. Collect them, physically or digitally. Try making your own. The details we overlook today might just be the design inspiration of tomorrow.
Shot of the good stuff
