Free download: The Internaut poster.
Very very very pretty triangular gradient shape (wish I had designed that) as well as splash landing page design dressed in a deep purple textured background for the Kaleidoscope application.
Not really sure what it does though. Enlight me.
Part of a branding course assignment, Pintzeta, is a jaw-dropping exercise that Moshik Nadav completed. He created a logo, business card, stationary, branding book, website, iPad & iPhone applications and a Special Hebrew Typeface for it. Whew!!!
Check it out! Don’t miss the USB key packaging.
Stunning field of rice art! See how planting crops for food is also turned into meta illustrations in Japan. Awesomeness! Must see.
The purity of Michael
Wandelmaier lines are not flat but have a subdued perspective likening his work to those of Japanese master illustrations we have grown familiar with.
His palette is vivid and saturated, always warm and rich in contrast. His grids filled with exquisitely dramatic details. Conceptually? Pretty out there.
If Apple wants to be a major player it needs to start behaving like one by John Naughton
“This has implications for all of us who follow these things.
The mainstream media, for example, need to discard the rose-tinted spectacles through which they have viewed Apple ever since Steve Jobs returned to the helm in 1997.
Apple is no longer the Lucky Little Company That Could but a looming, secretive, manipulative corporate giant.”

Apple’s brewing shitstorm by Dave Winer
“I don’t think the problem is with the iPhone 4.
I think what we’re seeing is Apple’s charm wearing off. The Reality Distortion Field bubble is about to burst.
Their run as the Exceptional Company is about to end. And they’re going to be the last ones to figure it out.”
_______
Before moving on, just one more thing about that press conference by Rex Hammock
“The Friday fiasco displayed also that when the management of “the message” doesn’t go according to the way “they” want it to go, they stop being insanely great and just start being insane.
It’s really hard to blame them. Apple fanboys (and despite my denials, I clearly am one) have done all we can to prevent Apple from developing the skills necessary to respond to the type of skepticism and negativity every other company or cause must face on a daily basis.”
________
In the rise of all the tidal media wave surrounding product launch of iPhone 4, iPad and now, Antennagate, I’ve said and say it again, my fear is that we’re entering the age of Apple vs Whatever Company that opposes them.
We’ve seen what M$ vs Netscape (and all others led to). Just think of IE6, if you are amnesic.
What about the no Flash policy for the Safari browser on Apple mobile devices, which is clearly violating the Postel’s Law (which says you should be liberal in what you accept. Another reason Postel was wise. It helps keep the web from breaking).
The Safari browser working on computers does NOT use the mobile one elective code. So, what gives? It is a deliberate decision. Shame.
Luv my iPhone, hate the iPad current version and market stunt.
Screwing up with the core community is not a very bright strategy. What keeps a company going is not $$$ but developers endorsement.
Apple, walk the talk of your slogan: Think Different.
Check out the Avantgarde Acoustic communication collaterals developed by FG Branddesign. Nice color palette too.

I Do (and Don’ts). Wedding etiquette dictates many do’s and don’ts for the happy couple. But no prenuptial protocol is more important than the look of the wedding dress. The Summer/Fall issue of Washingtonian Bride & Groom takes a look at the latest wedding fashions and planning faux pas – a creative project that inspired designers to declare "I do."

Have a look at their Behind the Scenes video of the project! Jake and Pum et al, did it again!
Inspiring. Who wouldn’t want to work with such a great team (and project)?
Now this is kind of exciting application that will make me jump right back on a iPad (read why I don’t own one right now). Flipboard attempts to be the world’s first social magazine and if they succeed at delivering what they have enterprised (watch the video), oh my, it will be splendido!
