Top of the line mid-range digital camera: Fujifilm X10 has now replaced other camera – which touchscreen is no longer operative. Shucks after barely 3 years quite a bummer.
Originally got the Olympus E-PM1 (no viewfinder – no macro – no zoom – all available separately adding $$$ to costs). Check the DPR comparative review.
The brilliance of this X10 is that it has a real view finder (glass not plastic) adjustable to your eyesight – true macro and super macro and zoom capabilities. Hyper sensitive sensor.
Nice retro-looking casing – w/ plenty of manual knobs for adjustments and Leica lenses makes this the perfect point and shoot.

Tunnelblick Music identity, packaging by HelloMe.
The visual identity for HipHop musician Exzem is based around the custom made display typeface HM Extra. The typeface is combined with metaphoric imagery that on one hand refers to backpack-HipHop clichés and the anonymity of coming from the countryside.
It is the story of a lone wolf from the countryside who collects sticks to make pencils of them so he can write rhymes.
