Not too long ago, I came across this Display/iMac stand, called the LowKey Stand, and have been very tempted to make the purchase. Quite simply, it’s a stand where your tiny apple keyboard can slide under. Though this may not appeal to many, I think it may for a handful of designers. Too often I find myself pushing things around on my desk only to give my Wacom tablet enough room to breathe. Not only that, but it looks nice and sharp too. I am not a fan of the USB ports on the front, however, simply turning it around may do the trick? $59.99 and this could be yours.
There is a decent write up by Christopher Hibbert over at Abduzeedo on learning light painting. Now this is something that has interested me long before those fancy sprint light commercials. I may have to try this sometime.
Scott Hansen of ISO50 happens to be one of my favorite designers. His work has always caught my interest and inspired tons (easy to pick out other designers work inspired by his ideas). It’s was of no surprise to discover he was contacted to design a poster for Barack Obama. With all political views aside, the poster looks fantastic.
Heres a new idea I discovered at my friendly food market! If a product isn’t selling to well, simply say the regular unit price was thousands of dollars more than what it is now. Take for instance the product above. It used to be $9,999.00 dollars people! Now it’s just $99.00! I bought all of them. (yes, that was sarcasm.)
I love wood grain. I love how no two wood products will be exactly the same, and I especially love it when seen in smaller spaces because the texture just makes a space feel right.
This Ebony sink is a really sleek way of bringing a wood texture into the home, though it makes me wonder how quick it will age or ware.
One page portfolio sites are my favorite approach designers use for their portfolio. This portfolio site by Sezuki Kenichi has some pretty interesting ideas for browsing his work and information about him. I believe it may be confusing for some people visiting the site for the first time, but the ideas there have potential for a cool viewing experience. Also, I can’t forget to mention that I love big, high in contrast, type and this has it in all the right places.
New from Frito Lay comes the a fun and interactive experience of the “National Organization for Legislations Against Fun“. Allow NOLAF to educate you on why fun isn’t good through it’s orientation, R&D room, and conference room. Fair warning, I spent a good amount of time on here.
