Above are a few of my favorite pics from this past week that I took with my iPhone 3Gs. I used the ‘Plastic Bullet’ app from software company ‘Red Giant’ to add the interesting border effects and vignette treatment. ‘Plastic Bullet’ has quickly become my favorite filtering tool over ‘hipstamatic’ because I think the overall look [...]

iPad + Velcro from Jesse Rosten on Vimeo. This clever video has been spreading through cyberspace at lightning speed the last couple days, and rightly so. There’s no doubt that the iPad really does make itself useful in so many endless ways, so, having a super flexible mounting system that can apply to a billion different [...] I was just speaking to someone yesterday of the apparent fluidity and unlimited potential for the iPad/iPhone/eReader/mobile anything case sub-markets and then coincidentally, later in the evening stumbled upon this interesting company called ‘Grove Made’ who makes these nifty laser engraved bamboo iPhone cases. Pretty slick. I found this on one of my favorite posterous [...] Metronomy – On The Motorway – by JUL & MAT from JUL & MAT on Vimeo. This is an unofficial video for ‘On The Motorway’ ‘Metronomy’ (an 80s-ish pop group from the U.K.). This aspirational/upbeat instrumental track combined with the bright rhythmic splatters of fluorescent paint should help place some energy behind your clicks… If not, [...] London based artist and designer Dan McPharlin has created a nice collection of beautifully rendered paperkraft analogue miniatures and posted them for us to enjoy on his Flickr stream. The detail is pretty astonishing and his use of color for small accents on buttons and wires just makes them a lot of fun to look [...] I ♥ the work of Brooklyn based Kevin Cyr and have posted about his amazing paintings and drawings in the past. It’s good to see that he’s continued to hold steady on his subject matter and has updated his site with more great work. This time he’s added some interesting tones and textures to his [...] eBoy FixPix [iPhone] – Preview from CreativeApplications.Net on Vimeo. I’ve been a fan of eBoy since they emerged from a different planet in 1997. I remember how unique their style of stacking pixels seemed to me at the time. Now, unless you’ve been living in a pixel-less cave somewhere their work has become fairly common and [...] Strukt Interactive Showreel Spring 2010 from Gregor Hofbauer on Vimeo. The video and imagery above are from Strukt Design Studio’s latest interactive show reel, and it makes me feel very excited for what the future holds for us all. Personally, if I could surround myself with HD projectors, touchscreens and mapping software and maybe a couple [...] French based Art Director Julien Rivoire’s online portfolio for BastardGraphics is super clean, fresh and vivid. I especially enjoy the above geometric and iconic poster designs. The website itself is also really well designed and compliments + showcases his graphic style perfectly. Great source of inspiration. Visit -> http://www.bastardgraphics.com SNASK from Mike Crozier on Vimeo. This is a promotional stop motion video created for Stockholm, Sweden based design group SNASK by designer Mike Crozier. It’s a fun watch as the animation literally unfolds, tears and transitions from sheets of paper to colorful boxes and then to a paper model of a pop style t.v. only to reduce back down [...] Ever wonder which metro line you travel when it comes to your taste in Rock n’ Roll? I haven’t either… However, it seems, the whole subway/metro line infographic trend works as a visual analogy for an endless amount of categories and genres. This time applied to Rock n’ Roll. Why not? You can click through [...] I’m digging the above ‘record release show’ poster designed by Will Etling, lead singer of the fantastic California based band ‘The Deadly Syndrome’. Yesterday they released their new album called ‘Nolens Volens’. All wordy setup aside… it’s a super solid, thoughtful, nicely textured album and I have been listening to it almost daily for [...] I came across the above rendering by illustrator Cesc Grané this morning on Yayeveryday.com, it made me realize that I hadn’t seen or been very inspired by any recent toy designs lately. This ‘Raiki’ doll seems pretty interesting to me though. I really like the 3D rendering style and the colors chosen to create the world [...] Ariel Di Lisio is a talented designer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. His portfolio contains numerous logo lockups and logo type designs that are definitely worth checking out if you love great use of color and inventive typography. You’ll also find some examples of his print and font design as well. Have a look. Visit -> http://www.negronouveau.com Visit [...] Amazing things are coming from designer, artist and musician Will Etling + his band ‘The Deadly Syndrome’ (Chris Richard, William Etling, Mike Hughes, and Jesse Hoy). I really dig the above album cover yarn installation that was built near the band’s practice space and shot during the day (for the front cover) and again at night [...] |
In addition to showing my most recent Flickr photos here (left set of 6), I have decided to rotate my favorite Flickr contacts as well. This time showing photo thumbs from Kevin Saint Grey's most interesting Flickriver (right set).
