The videos speak for themselves, That’s Gay on Current TV’s infoMania talk Sex and the City 2 (which I have yet to see). Check out their other video’s, kind of gay and kind of amazing.

Saw another one of these videos posted on a friends wall (really cool and not just the animation), great way of delivering and expressing interesting ideas. Check out the rest on the RSA Animate Youtube channel.

I remember seeing Leslie Hall in Vice a few years back showing off her sweat gem sweater collection. Turns out she’s does a bit more than collect sweaters, she busts out some pretty rad beats too. Check her out online at lesliehall.com.
Thanks for passing this along ginge xo

Now I just got my iphone a little over a week ago and I have to say I’m impressed. The number of apps available is overwhelming to say the least. A few of my favorites though have to be; What the font, the Huffington post, Ted, Wordpress, Skype, Dropbox, Facebook, ffffound and last but not least the ultimate in time eating Rolando.

Rolando isn’t really useful, educational or even terribly original (basically an app version of LocoRoco from Playstation) but I still kinda love it. It’s about $2.99 and I’ve definitely gotten my moneys worth. Not to say I’ve been playing it allot or anything, I’ve been working… I’m just that annoying guy on the bus titling his phone back and forth and bumping your elbow’s.

A Zoetrope is a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures. The term zoetrope is from the Greek words- zoe, “life” and – tropos, “turn”. It may be taken to mean “wheel of life”.

I’d never seen a Zeotrope like this before until someone posted an image of a similar one online. Very cool (photos by GarySe7en). Oh and if you haven’t seen the trailer to Toy Story 3 check it out, it actually looks pretty good.

A short film inspired by numbers, geometry and nature.

So not only does i love dust have a great name but they have great work as well. A multi-disciplinary design boutique that specializes in illustration, animation and trend prediction. Located in the heart of East London they definitely know what they’re doing.

I love their illustration and typography work, the 2 images above are some prime examples (i just got back from palm springs and they also pretty much sum up my trip, minus the jogging biscut).

Feist, no not like the band, it’s a stylish new soon to be released game.

“A journey over mountains and through deep forests lies ahead. The trail isn’t told to be an easy one. Mad foes and unsafe dirt tracks are on its way. Only with cunningness and by risking to eat dodgy food one might find the power to reach the end of the journey.”

How do you put into words the talent of someone like Alison Munn? Not only a brilliant designer but a wonderful person I racked my brain trying to put together the right words to accomplish this task, but, to no avail. I did however find a quote from Royce Reed on Alison that I think expresses the sentiment I could not. If you are unfamiliar Royce Reed she is a true legend. Hailing from Manhattan NY she currently resides in Los Angeles California where she survives on champagne and fabulousness alone:

“I know all the great designers, Paul Rand, Milton Glazier, Wim Crouwel. God, all of them! They know nothing! Compared to Alison Munn they’re all shiiiit! Garbage! Why do I have to be a victim of all this garbage, all this garbage that I don’t want, when you have someone like Alison designing such beautiful work. She is an international genius, she can design anything! She’s like a classical composer, she can play everything perfectly note by note by note. Oh God on a wheel! Milton you know nothing! NOTHING!”

From the mouth of a true genius…

To get the full interactive human/responsive eye experience check the poster out online. The viewer is directed to first stare at the top section then project their response/stare at the middle section then continue to the bottom (all white) section. The objective is that the human eye projects the complimentary colors to which it has been staring at for a long period of time (top section -), mixed with the apparent visual vibrations of high contrast black and white lines (middle section), all projected onto a white canvas at the bottom, result in a visually vibrating and colorful experience.
