In praise of enterprising self-initiated projects that push and expand our conceptual / design / drawing skills. Curious what these are? Hit it.
Sneakercube personal design project by Pawel Nolbert.



Vinyl cover with analog light animation by Michael Hansen.

It’s wonderful to fall off one’s chair on Monday and that’s exactly what happened when Mark shared the link to Krystalrae — who creates clothing w/ daring pattern combinations designed for that rare woman who has the confidence to stand out, pioneer trends, and is never one to follow — website.
Finally something fresh – punchy – audacious – beautiful.. and last but not least – usable. The mobile version is as gorgeous.
Watch what happens when you scroll over the model. Oh! I’m impressed.
