Urban Nature -> Alex Horner

Urban Nature from Alex Horner on Vimeo.

This is a nice short shot in Duluth MN by videographer/sound designer Alex Horner, called “Urban Nature”. Duluth is probably one of the best cities to try to capture an Urban/Nature theme, being that the city is located in a pretty “wild” area of the country to begin with. [...]

Dan Vojtech -> Photographer Czech Republic

The young photographer Dan Vojtech is known best for his extreme sports, lifestyle and fashion photography. What I like best about his work is that he’s not afraid to shake it up by adding unexpected elements, effects or an odd perspective on odd subject matter (like the bathroom shot above). That combined with his keen [...]

NYC Rooftop -> 360 Cities

Roof3 in New York City

This is exactly why I’m such a fan of 360cities.net. You’ll never be at risk of viewing typical half baked panoramic photos. Above is a great example of how amazing the quality of work can be on this site. This was shot by Sebastian Wegerbauer on a NYC rooftop (looks like [...]

For The Typography Heads -> FlickerMood

Flickermood 2.0 from Sebastian Lange on Vimeo.

The above video by by Sebastian Lange showcases some nicely designed type animation that perfectly plays along to a an upbeat soundtrack. Constantly switching up the motion, nice breaks and some interesting spatial moments make this video a keeper for me. Not much else to say beyond that.  This [...]

Remembering to use Shazam -> Music Recommendations

As a result of my constant efforts to keep my music collection fresh (see my older related post “Dust’s Selects”…) I was recently re-introduced to the simple genius and ease of use of the iphone app “Shazam”. I know, it’s very popular, if you have an iPhone it’s probably one of the first apps [...]

John Maeda -> La Fondation Cartier, Paris 2005 and beyond
