Bulldog is 20

You turned 20. What do you do to underline this special moment? Check out what Bulldog did:

“Over the years, our company has been very comfortable with presenting a witty face to the world – from our choice of name to the imagery that people associate with us. We developed this visual pun to commemorate our 20th anniversary on February 10th, 2010. The piece fuses a crossword puzzle with our logo to create a playful visual short-hand for what Bulldog has done over the last 20 years.”

Way cool concept!

Live Now

Live Now a community of happiness is a growing collection of friends, powerfully pursuing the notion of living now. Communicating through artwork, literature, relationships, exhibitions and more. Engaging their participants (and looking for more) to live conscious and happy lives!

This initiative came about as founder Eric Smith is fighting cancer. As you know, having shared the last leg of my lil’ bro life who had cancer – I can totally related to this.

Morse? Barcode?

Aestheticode is a machine readable and human readable aesthetic encoding system. It is similar in function to a barcode, except it looks like anything but. Its complexity is similar to that of morse code and is open-source for dissemination. Its core purpose?

Go see the movie. Aaaaamazing!

ArchNow!

ArchNow!, currently under development, was founded by a group of graduate architecture students in San Francisco, after realizing that numerous hours put into reading online architecture and publications could be more efficient if combined with writing and publishing of their own magazine.

This is a really slick blog and the content promising if you want daily news about contemporary architecture, design and lifestyle.

Making ideas happen

Scott Belsky and I were introduced by a mutual friend, and right off, I was taken by his passion and pragmatic approach to a project then in infancy: Behance (Network).

After a long conversation, I was thinking that he had launched the project I wish I had thought of – since such a void in the creative community was begging to be filled. Since then, everytime we exchanged – he pried my mind for honest positive or negative feedback in order to finetune and exercise critical assessment of where he was at, in making his ideas happen.

Now after 5 years in the making, he is just about to release a book that encompasses the core problem of all walk creatives: taking their ideas from inspiration to execution. My review copy is starting to look like a barriolage of highlighted-not-to-be-forgotten-tips-and-insights, it is just that relevant. Just the table of contents is enough to salivate in anticipation.

Please support someone who will make a true difference in how you approach both career and projects. Pre-order the book now.
