When I hear people tell me:
“What camera should I get to take better pictures?”
Or:
“How do people find the time to write?”
Or my personal favorite:
“If I only had the time…”
It drives me crazy. These are all just essentially excuses for the same problem. Just do it already.
I love reading about the design process, but this video showing the evolution of Convert for the iPhone is even better.
A great resource of photos of gorgeous hand painted signs from around the world.
“How can you make today better? Do it again the next day. Put it on your calendar. Spend two minutes thinking about this each morning.” I’ve heard things similar to this before, but this is a great reminder.
Can’t. Stop. Drooling. Great iconography work here.
I’m addicted to reading and finding as much as I can about this mission with this anniversary. I didn’t live through it, and yet I feel connected and mesmerized by the events. It makes me a bit sad when I think about NASA and my perception of it now. I really do hope great things will come from NASA and space exploration in my lifetime, but I’m skeptical.
“I think creativity can solve anything, ANYTHING!”
Gorgeous stuff from Paul Tebbott. I really want to try my hand at some posters in this style. He and Scott Hansen are just so damn good.
Some previously unreleased photos of Audrey Hepburn. Damn, she was attractive.
“Too many entrepreneurs stop after they build the product. They think that building products is what makes them an entrepreneur. But entrepreneurship is about building businesses, and the product is just one part of that.”
Friend and kickass designer/developer Shaun Inman has launched his new feed reading application Fever. It looks great and is something I’ve been hoping someone would develop for a long time. I don’t see mass adoption for something like this, but for those of you willing to dangle your feet in a little web geekery it looks fantastic. Both beautifully and smartly designed it definitely looks “hot”.
I’m way to late to this, but it’s still awesome.
Incredible stuff from Tomas Nilsson.
Damn, those are some badass blocks. Really love the lack of explanation that’s needed. For a lot of stuff demoed you can really just start playing with them.
Beautiful.
Some great motion graphics using almost exclusively text. Love the treatment they do with “It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day”.
Love the way this is put together and the responses, but would have loved a bit less trying get them in focus.
Can’t. Wait.
Very clever. I can’t decide on a favorite, but the waterfall and surfer ones are great.
Absolutely gorgeous work. I’d like to see more stuff in this vein, especially in the cereal aisle at the grocery store. The first company who goes ahead and makes there box simple and straight forward is going to have a big advantage. There’s way too much product packaging shouting going on there.
Love this. Hopefully it’ll be kept up and added to.
Love this post from Rands In Repose and it couldn’t come at a better time. I’m working on finishing up a lot of little details on a web application and it’s great to remember how important these little things are.
Can’t wait for parts 2 and 3. These are just incredible
Love these. I really wish the soda industry would do some limited release retro cans.
Just. Keep. Trying. Great inspirational piece from Merlin Mann.
I got sucked into this for about an hour tonight. Some truly amazing sequences (Six Feet Under, Carnivale, Soylent Green) and it’s great to see something that usually just book ends a show or film get archived and promoted this way.
An enthralling infographic music video.
“Reinterpretation” graphics of the Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl nuclear explosion epicenters.
Malcolm Gladwell on why you don’t need to be young to have some truly great creative moments in your life.
