Apparently, unbeknownst to me Japanese towns have logos. Really nice logos, for that matter. One of my long time favorite blogs pinktentacle.com has recently posted 50 amazing Japanese town logos that incorporate stylized kanji characters into their design. I enjoy their super clean quality and find them to be very refreshing. I posted my favorites [...]

Malaventura’s Audiovisual sampler (in action) from malaventura on Vimeo.
This piece was recorded live and made with Quartz Composer for Video & Ableton Live for the audio. I’ve had an interest in monome, tonematrix and tenori-on music tech devices for some time now and was pretty blown away when I saw this video. I think the [...]

This past week a friend of mine turned me on to the work of Portland based photographer and Alaskan commercial fisherman and skateboarder Corey Arnold. With so many of us out there ‘life documenting’ and ‘life tracking’ these days it’s really refreshing to come across someone who not only has a great talent and passion [...]

London based ‘Farrow Design’ is producing some very strong logotype design, iconography, print and package design. I think what I’m drawn to most is their overall simplistic graphic style and hard hitting use of color. For more excellent work check out their site.

If you find it difficult to take your eyes away from the clock normally, then you may not want to view this memorizing animation by designer Maarten Baas. Each digital number graphic is updated “manually” by a very small figure who seemingly exists within the clock itself. Very fun, worth a view.

ENVISION : Step into the sensory box from SUPERBIEN on Vimeo.
The above masterpiece was created by ‘SuperBien’ (Alex Mestrot and Tom Chosson) based in Paris, France. The mapping itself is beautifully accurate and creative, the colors are fresh… but the animation FX are to me, what is most mind-blowing. Great particle animation and sound design [...]

It’s been almost 6 months since I moved to Seattle, I’ve taken a lot of pictures of this amazing city so far. Two weeks ago I realized that I had almost 100 Seattle photos up on Flickr already, so I decided to test print an 84 page photo book to see how it would come [...]

I came across this excellent flash based photography portfolio site of Jean Malek’s on theFWA.com yesterday. I must have missed it because it was posted a while ago and I frequent the FWA as a source for interactive design trends. Regardless, I love the motion design and full bleed/full screen experience on this site, not [...]

Jeremy Geddesart effortlessly spans the boundaries of reality with his works. His ability to render figures, light and color, is extraordinarily accurate, an then, he administers his own fantasies into the mix. Odd combination’s of lost astronauts and suicidal businessmen with fates unknown and unexplained tend to appear in many of his surreal images, leaving [...]

Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg (founders of: http://flowingmedia.com/) used a clever algorithm that they developed for the WIRED Anniversary visualization and a collection of photographs from the Boston Common Flickr stream to create the stunning graphic visualization above. In the short description, their software calculated the relative proportions of different colors from various photos taken [...]
