That is all.

Amazing!

Hello World The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog!

Awesome work by Dess.
They're Japanese. figures.
Their site is pretty great too. It wins my award for the best site loader ever, even though I think it's just an animation.

Love this photographer...

I swear its not only because of gemma ward.

Gilles-Marie Zimmermann photography

look at this...

so called"2007 graphic design inspirations.".
Try not to get a migrane from all the maximalist design and overuse of photoshop/illustrator to the extreme.
Sure these designers/artists/graphic artists are all very talented, but ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
Does this now explain my a love/hate relationship with design and recent craving of minimalism?!!!
The only thing I like on that page is this...

Sans the cobrasnake sticker...

I love this so much!




This is kinda cool too... that is as long as it was hand-painted?

imo...

it would be pretty great if everyone dressed like this:

I especially love this girl's pants!
I found this photo on beckermans myspace page, so I am assuming the clothes are of their design?
But even if they aren't I am still completely in love with their Spring 2008 "passport to coney island" collection.
Go to their site and check it out!

This is so fun!

Pocky's website has a "Pocky Board" where you can create pictures and words out of different flavoured pocky sticks!
It is interactive with other users that are on the site at the same time so you can all fight over the yummy pocky hehe.

Just a warning...but most likely any attempt to make an english letter
will be turned into a Japanese character .2 seconds after making it.

Yay I can't wait to go!


The New Museum of Contemporary Art opens next week (Dec 1st!). It was designed by Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA. I love most of the architecture by SANAA, & from the photos this building looks pretty cool, I don't know how I feel about the aluminum mesh though, could make or break it...I guess I'll decide when I see it for real.

Yet another mind-blowing Japanese designer...

His name is Masahiko Sato.
He did this amazing intro to Issey Miyake's site...


Made this sweet video...



And his website is really sick too!

Sooo...a long time ago I said I wanted to have all these crazy balloons for my next birthday.
But now my friend showed me this idea so now it can be ever better!!! Put LEDs inside
some of the balloons! Seriously, how amazing would that be?!!!
