Objectified: A Documentary Film
While browsing my usual feeds today I found this post by Jason Santa Maria about the website he did for Gary Hustwit's new film Objectified. Hustwit is the man behind last year's documentary Helvetica, a film dedicated to the life and influence of the famous typeface. I found Helvetica to be a fascinating film and the synopsis behind Objectified looks like it will be just as interesting. Objectified takes a look at the world of industrial design and explores the creativity behind the everyday objects we use in our lives. The film will feature interviews with some very famous industrial designers ... -
A Question of Photographic Styles
Recently I've been browsing through my favorites on Flickr and thinking about all of the various photographic styles my collection contains. I've found that most of them have been post processed like having their colors tweaked or altered and in some cases textures added (note the 3rd photo above).

With these different examples of post processing, I've been asking myself the ... -

This morning I came across the work of photographer Daniel Everett and I was reminded of these feelings as I browsed his portfolio. He has some great shots on his site and I especially like the compositions he creates from multiple photos of the same scene. Definitely worth heading over to his portfolio ... -
Silverback Logo Creation
John Hicks, the designer behind the logo for Silverback wrote a short post showing his progress through the logo's creation. Always nice to see these steps from concept to final artwork. Hicks does amazing work, one logo in particular with which you are all no doubt familiar. -
Dropbox
Recently I received my beta invite to try out Dropbox, an online storage solution that has received a lot of positive praise since it first arrived on the scene. Up until now I have tried various methods in sharing data across multiple computers such as USB flash drives, uploading/downloading files via ftp on my server and (shudder) emailing files to myself which usually ends up feeling more like a desperate cry for attention than a solution because my inbox is then full of emails that say from "me" to "me". What I really wanted was a free, painfree solution that ...
