Ork City Posters

#Tagged: 

These city posters by Ork Design seem to be a pretty hot commodity right now. Each print displays the various neighborhoods that make up the city, in a rather interesting typographic layout I might add, and all are hand screened and individually numbered. The entire series includes Brooklyn, Chicago, Manhattan, San Francisco, and Boston. [...]

 

Fab 5 Freddy, Futura 2000 & Basquiat. 1 Wall.

#Tagged: 

A piece of New York art history popped up in a mid-conversion loft apt in SoHo a few months ago. A wall in one of its rooms features work from three legends of Hip Hop and Graffiti culture from the 80’s: Fab 5 Freddy, Futura 2000 & Jean-Michel Basquiat. Everyday, construction efforts in NY are [...]

 

Quiet Time

#Tagged: 

This six-sided anechoic chamber, located at Orfield Labs in Minnesota, holds a spot in the Guinness World Records as the quietest place in the world. In fact, it’s so quiet that overall the silence of the room, coupled with the sounds of your inner organs, is enough to send the toughest characters running towards [...]

Jay Smooth, of Ill Doctrine.com, gives us the rundown on “little haters”-those subconscious voices from within that talk us out of accomplishing our goals, and ultimately lead us into a sad state of procrastination. I think we all have our bouts with them from time to time, I know I do. My “little [...]

 

Japanese Package Design: PET Bottles

#Tagged: 

PingMag takes a look at some of the more interesting beverage bottles that can be found across Japan. Lots of interesting, unconventional designs to be seen. It’d be great to see more companies here in the U.S. make bold statements like this with their package design (across all industries, that is). I’ve [...]

 

Google Android Prototype

#Tagged: 

Last month, Google officially introduced the world to Android, their soon-to-be-released mobile phone operating system that promises to revolutionize the wireless industry. Since then we haven’t had much to go on; a few demo/developer videos, loads of speculation, and now what appears to be a photo of Android installed on an actual mobile device. [...]

 

Top 50 Music Videos of ‘07

#Tagged: 

Everywhere I look these days I come across yet another magazine or blog that’s compiled some sort of year-end list highlighting their best and worst picks of 2007 (i.e. music, gadgets, ideas, etc). While many of them do have a tendency to become a little redundant after while, it’s always cool to see whether [...]
