Optimo -> Fine Hats

The ‘Optimo Fine Hats’ site experience is a terrific example of online branding, story telling and product display. They obviously want customers to come away with the understanding that Optimo hats are the real deal. Quality stuff. It will be interesting to see how they design out the online store.

Novum 11/11 -> Making Of Cover by Paperlux

Novum 11/11 – Making Of Cover from Paperlux on Vimeo.

Just a fun A-Z documentary on the design process behind the Paperlux Novum 11/11 magazine cover. I really enjoy their work. Much more stellar design beyond the link below.

Picnic -> Innovation & Creativity festival

I love the branding and design work around Amsterdam based innovation and creativity festival PICNIC (September 14th – 16th). Everything from the poster to the site experience is buttoned-up and feels nice and fresh. I wish I were able to attend it this year, the lineup of speakers is pretty amazing. Be sure to have [...]

Tilt-Shift Camera -> Photojojo

I saw this affordable tilt-shift camera on a Facebook post today (by Photojojo) at lunch and thought it was pretty great. The images look solid, there are some nice embedded filters and tilt-shift always looks better when thrown by a real lens as opposed to a photoshop post effect, in my opinion… Have a look, [...]

Patagonia Time Lapse -> Adam Colton

This is very well captured… pretty mesmerizing stuff.

Notes from Vimeo:

“Adam Stokowski and I spent 2 weeks in Patagonia Country pursuing our new passion for time lapse video and rhino hunting. We visited Torre Del Paine Park, Chile. Glacier Park, Argentina & Fitz Roy, Argentina. Plus all the beauty in between. Many barbed wire fences were climbed…. this [...]

Telenoika -> Audiovisual Mapping

Yet another magically innovative example of archetectural video mapping, created by with 2D video composition software and 3D modeling software. The amazing motion graphics were projected with a 20k video beamer at 1920×1080 at the Kernel Festival in Northern Italy (Brianza to be exact). Very much worth the view. I’d love to check out this festival.

Foodies Paradise -> gojee.com

This post is specifically for folks out there who love to cook adventurously and eat well …and appreciate a nicely designed search experience to help assist in those efforts. Gojee.com is not only beautifully designed, it contains a great deal of interesting recipes that can be easily searched based on what it is that you’re [...]

2011 Showreel -> Gerbren Boere

Nice 2011 showreel coming from the fresh motion graphic mind of Amsterdam based Gerbren Boere. Well worth the view, especially for those who love solid motion design.

Intel -> Museum of Me

I know, this clever ‘Museum of Me’ Facebook content aggregate is spreading like wildfire right now via Facebook. To me it’s notable because it’s not only pulling through multiple types of content, but it’s pulling it in, in a way that’s not your typical grid based design. There’s dimension, layering and some nice parallax scrolling [...]

The 99% Conference -> NYC 2011

Last week I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the 99% conference in NYC, organized by the Behance network and sponsored by Pantone, Good, Coalesse, Blackberry and a few others. The 99% name comes from the classic Thomas Edison quote “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”, the diverse content that was presented [...]

Nalden -> iPad app

Being a long time fan of Amsterdam based influential music and lifestyle blogger Nalden, I’m pretty excited to try out his new super-slick iPad app. Just a few months ago he was soliciting for a talented experience designer to help him build out his dream app, now it seems that it’s come to fruition in a [...]

Bugaboo Donkey -> Campaign/Design

Not having kids myself, I sometimes forget that there are some really innovative companies out there like Bugaboo coming up with some very slick industrial design that changes the way we think and operate within our everyday lives. Bugaboo’s latest stroller design called the ‘Donkey’ is no exception. I’m also very impressed with the level [...]

Myspace Concept -> Face.

I came across this declined Myspace concept work by Mexican agency ‘Face.’ today on the Behance network, and I have to say it’s pretty solid. I’m feeling the aggregate content display similar to a ‘Pinterest‘ experience as well as the smart use of color and the clean bold graphics that involve little fuss or clutter. [...]

Meet Your Maker -> Asylum Artists

MEET YOUR MAKER from Asylum Artists on Vimeo.

This is an inspiring and well filmed documentary created by Ontario based agency ‘Asylum Artists’ on the creation of one of our all time favorite musical instruments, the guitar. The video features the beautifully hand crafted guitars produced by Joseph Yanuziello, located in Toronto.

B-Reel -> 'TRE' video based sales interface

This is a very interesting and futuristic eCommerce touch interface concept for use as a way to bridge the gap from an in-store experience to an online sales experience. The design was created by a Swedish mobile production company called B-Reel and the product is called ‘TRE’. I think the interface, as ‘minority report’ as it [...]
