Tired of how boring lorem ipsum got? Chocolate bar caramels lemon drops jujubes apple pie chupa chups soufflé icing. Sweet!
Punkt. Cleverly put together international campaign by Rosie Lee – a hybrid creative agency.. dedicated to bringing to life the innovative ideas brands need in today’s cluttered marketing space. It’s kind of hard to imagine needing a ‘phone’ other than a mobile – buy hey – if so – this one’s for you.
A very minimalist object designed by Jasper Morrison – no frills – but packed with functionalities. Watch the campaign video when mobile flat design is teleported to an analog object. Clever.

Less and More: Dieter Rams exhibit project at the Design Museum by Bibliothèque.
A retrospective exhibition dedicated to Dieter Rams, one of the 20th century’s most influential industrial designers. As head of design at Braun, the German consumer electronics manufacturer, Rams defined an elegant and rigorous visual language for its products.
The exhibition featured 244 objects, spanning six decades of his life and work.
_______
Father of the ‘Less is more’ principle – this exhibit / installation project is one that I wish I could have seen. He was a master at beautiful in simplicity that is timeless.
When you look at these today – you can’t miss being impressed by this creative giant who is making quite a comeback in the design circles in the past couple of years.
Colour Mania by Viction:ary.
Where the world dances in a veritable kaleidoscope of colours, everything becomes one of its kinds in their unique colours even if they are flat and mute. Taking a glance at a rambling collection of works, extensively covering campaigns, illustrations, branding, packaging, products and more.
It manifests how unicolour designs draw on the essence of nine colours and a rainbow tone, and project powerful impacts in an era ablaze with all sorts of hues.
_______
If you like colors as I do – this one is for you.
Bring a little psychology to Web design. Cool Mental Notes deck cards by Stephen P. Anderson.
We feel the need to reciprocate when given something as a gift.
Recognition over Recall
Our brains seek out ways to organize and simplify complex information, even when there is no pattern.
We remember and respond favorably to small, unexpected and playful pleasures.
Peak-End Rule
_______
View the 7 cards sample.
I’m always on the lookout for inspiring interior spaces. Why? Because they rejuvenate and stimulate how I perceive – as a designer – laying out – the art of using space in a 2d environment. Of course I have a preference for large minimalist rooms w/ touches of memorable furniture and accessories and crammed w/ designy stuff working spaces.
What it teaches me is the relation between forms – shapes – colors and how their arrangement take advantage of challenging spaces.
Have you ever consider doing so?
