Circuitbreaks -> 3 Year Anniversary

Circuitbreaks, my fun little ongoing side project, has reached a pretty significant milestone of three years this month. Three years of weekly posting, and trying to document all of the design/art/tech happenings from around the world that I’ve found to be interesting, inspiring and amazing. I’m pretty proud to have kept it going. I’m also [...]

Midnight Sun -> Iceland

Notes from Vimeo page:

“Midnight Sun: A natural phenomenon occurring in the summer months north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle where the sun never fully sets and remains visible 24 hours a day. This short time lapse film was shot during the Icelandic Midnight Sun in June of 2011. For 17 days I [...]

Paolo Novelli -> Kenya Photography: I'm a Star

Very inspiring portrait photography coming from filmmaker and a photographer Paolo Novelli. The stunning light and texture make them feel like old master oil paintings. More beautiful work beyond the link below (discovered on www.nalden.net).

Excerpt from his website:

“In 2009 I left for Kenya to work on a photographic project, I intended to portray the subtle balance [...]

Move, Learn, Eat -> Rick Mereki

 

 

Move, learn, eat. Some of the most rewarding things we can do in life. Nicely produced and captured. I like the simple caption work and the overall rhythm of these short films. Fun stuff, worth checking out.

Notes from Vimeo:

“3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Noisey -> Global New Music Discovery

Noisey is another fine option in the realm of online music discovery. Showcasing new music from all over the world you can filter and view content by country, popularity and newness as well as easily share your favorite discoveries on your social net of choice. Worth checking out.

Help Build The Rainbow Warrior -> Greenpeace

Greenpeace partnered with French agency DDB and the tech team from Les84 to design and develop this amazing site experience in an effort to gain awareness around the urgent need to replace their now iconic save-the-day ship named ‘the Rainbow Warrior’. A nice dramatic full-bleed video sets up the whole story and intent of the [...]

Greenpeace through the lens -> Photographer Pierre Gleizes

Many of the more iconic and memorable photos taken of Greenpeace in action were taken by photographer Pierre Gleizes. As brave as he is talented, his works document some of the most important and pivotal environmental protests in modern history.

Marko Junttila -> Photography on DeviantART

I love these photos by Finland based Marko Junttila. I saw them posted on twitter the other day, I don’t know much about this artist or his work. I do know that he’s taken some amazing photography. Very inspiring. More beyond the link.

Santa Monica Brand -> Graphic Design

I really love the graphic design coming from designer Mark Brooks and the Barcelona based clothing brand ‘Santa Monica’. They’ve opened up a few pop-up stores around Barcelona and have a bunch of their t-shirts available via the site link below. Nice + clean.

Flickr Set: Hong Kong and Macau in the 1950s -> Phil Roeder

I’m finding a ton of amazing things on Flickr lately. The above shots are vintage photos taken by Des Moines based Photographer Phil Roeder’s father (possibly with a Zeiss Ikon Contessa from what I’ve gathered from his Flickr page) while travelling Hong Kong and Macau in the 1950s. Wonderful retro coloring and contrast along with the fact [...]

Chemistry for life -> Dosdecadatres

Chemistry for life from Dosdecadatres on Vimeo.

Madrid, Spain based agency ‘Dosdecadatres’ is responsible for the beautifully crafted video above, which was created for the 7th ANQUE’s International Congress Opening credits. The soft blue coloring, smart typography, fluctuation of depth of field and complimentary musical score holds my interests well and makes this video a pleasure [...]
