Benoit Paillé -> Light Experimentation

I find these ‘Light Experimentations’ taken in northern Quebec to be very well captured and inspirational. Coming from a photographer who states “I hate landscape”, Benoit Paillé tries to create his own by modifying the environment with light. More beyond the link.

Lauren Marsolier -> Photography

I think artist photographer Lauren Marsolier is a genius. His ability to detect healthy tension and strong composition in a seemingly sterile location is inspiring. It’s one thing to capture a beautiful photo from something that is interesting and captivating from the get go, it’s another to capture something beautiful and interesting from a location [...]

Icon Bronco -> Cool Hunting Vid

Yes, another 4×4 post… I’ve posted many times about the magical custom rehab 4×4 establishment that is Icon, based in L.A. The folks at Cool Huntind created a nice little spot on their amazing Bronco design. Did you know that the grill design on some of the Icon trucks was assisted by Nike? More detail [...]

Raster -> 3x4 grid typeface

I dig this typeface coming from Feldkirch, Austria based designer David Gobber. It feels fresh and also seems to capture the essence of the Art Deco design style of an earlier era. I think it’s the suspended mid-waist of the ‘E’ that’s making me go there… He’s got a bunch of very nice, inspirational work on his [...]

Where Things Come From -> Hardy Seiler

This animated short by Hannover, Germany based designer Hardy Seiler is beautifully done. Nice motion, illustration, clever transitions, interesting dialogue and overall message.  Have a look.

Photographer -> Felix Odell

I’ve rediscovered the work of Stockholm based photographer Felix Odell this evening. His Buenos Aires photos (2010) were the first that caught my eye, but I’m absolutely captivated by ‘The Mist’ series of photos from 2009 as well. His whole collection is amazing and worth checking out.

Elle Perez -> Photography

I came across the photography of Elle Perez recently. I enjoy the sense of honesty and humanity that he’s able to capture within each scenario or series. I also like that he’s embedded his portfolio into his Tumblr blog. Pretty clever and definitely worth checking out.

Sentosa || -> The story of the Merlion

This short story by illustrator and motion graphic designer Lydia Lee is pretty fresh. The lighting, motion design and rendering style really make it stand out. Definitely worth a view, be sure to have a look at her nice type design examples as well in her portfolio.

Instrument UX -> Innovation Reel

Instrument UX Innovation Reel from Instrument on Vimeo.

UX, IxD, interactive design, UI design, experience design, motion design, yadda yadda yadda, whatever the brand or flavor you should choose… it’s about producing something special that makes people want to engage and experience whatever it is that you have to offer them. Hopefully effortlessly, and with some kind [...]

Delaney Allen -> Photography

The photography of Portland, Oregon based Delaney Allen is brilliant. Fantastic cloudscapes, rogue waves, mundane objects in extraordinary environments and even still moments that pull at one’s emotional heartstrings. It’s all there.

The Derelicts (ICON) -> eGarage

The Derelicts a short film by eGarage from eGarage on Vimeo.

A friend at work passed this well captured and well told documentary vid along to me this morning. The man behind ICON, modern engineeering, classic purposeful design, discusses his love for the “derelict style”. Love the description “time burned, natural finish and patina”.

Argijale -> Flickr Photostream

One way to go about capturing a strong image is to be in an interesting place to begin with. I really enjoy Argijale’s Flickr photostream because he seems to constantly immerse himself in places and situations that make for interesting photography.
