Sir! The Piranhas are eating all the guests!

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

This link is courtesy of Andy H but it’s so good I had to share. A fantastic collection of horror movie posters of the illustrated variety. Maybe I’m getting old but I’m convinced these create a far greater sense of foreboding than your Saw IV’s and Hostels of this world.

I’m particularily pleased that one of my favourite (due to it’s utterly rubbish nature) horror films is included, the mildly terrifying Piranha!

I want one

Sigma DP-1

I don’t NEED one, just want…

This little beauty has the same sensor as the Sigma DSLR, the same high resolution, yet is instantly pocketable.

oh… and it looks cool, hadn’t… umm… noticed that…

The site is quite nice too, although you may want to skip the intro…

Unfortunately engraveyourbook.com is no longer available dam you harmful gasses! On the up side their creators are now turning their hand to other products like these rather lovely iWood cases for anyone lucky enough to have an iPhone:

Engraved iWood rear

Engraved iWood front

Nice, but still not as nice as the Moleskines, I would say that I don’t have an iPhone

Ico consistently produce lovely work, but their interactive is obviously of particular interest to me.

Russian Fruit Doll thingies

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Some lovely work from Julie West here - kind of like what would happen if you accidentally left some Russian Dolls and a big bag of fruit in one of those dysfunctional teleporters in The Fly. All be it with a far cuter result… assuming they don’t vomit acid that is.

I’m a designer. Use me better.

An engaging and thought provoking article written by Ben Terrett over on Noisy Decent Graphics discussing sustainability and responsibility in design. It was written at the end of last year so apologies if I’m off the pace but never the less worth a look.

And that ‘dovetails’ nicely…

Vers 2X

I thought this made a pleasing alternative to the million and one Bose-a-like iPod docks out there. I’ve opted for the Walnut finish below but there several other touchy, feely alternatives. I like the cut of their jib re. natural finishes and natural sounds so props to the guys at Vers.
