I don’t normally talk about Information Architecture or User Experience design (it’s what I do for a living for those of you who don’t know) on this website. Separation of church and state I guess, but I’ll probably be posting more stuff like this in the coming days/weeks, so be warned.
This long article is […]

Here’s a nice bit of Indistrial Design for you to consider. The Bronze winner in the Consumer Products segment of the IDEA awards this year was this clever product from Rubbermaid. Designed by Beyond Design, Inc. and Rubbermaid’s internal design team, the Paint Buddy is a touchup paint storage and application unit that changes the […]

Pig Magazine is running a great interview with Nigo, the 32 year old founder/designer/promoter/DJ of ultra-exclusive, ultra-expensive A Bathing Ape street-wear clothing line from Japan. NYC now has a SoHo store, where sneakers run about $500. Bape is a phenomenon in Japan, mostly because Nigo is a marketing and promotions genius. He’s now also a […]

Am I the only person who is thoroughly UNIMPRESSED with the newly redesigned Target prescription drug bottle. New York magazine ran the article a few weeks ago, and a bunch of designy blogs picket up the story. The article is good, the writeup is thorough. The pill bottle looks revolutionary on the surface, and even […]

I stumbled upon this great compilation of links for developers and designers - CSS, PHP, HTML, code snippets, color wheels, tutorials, cheat sheets, the works. If you are developing anything, this list is probably going to help you out in some way. For me, I am starting down the path of redesign/reprogramming this site, so […]

Storyboard and concept artist, Dan Milligan, is phenomenally talented. He has a sketchbook online at conceptart.org in this thread, but his personal portfolio site is even better. I wish I could draw like this. Goddammit.
There are other great sketchbook threads at conceptart.org that are pretty great too. It’s definitely worth it to hunt around. Like […]

Josh Rubin has some great stuff on his blog, Cool Hunting, every day. Recently I followed his link to the site of a Japanese artist/designer in San Fransisco, Ogi. His work is fantastic. Clearly Japanese: clean, delicate, urban, beautiful, futuristic. Great stuff. Some of it is not too expensive and you’d be cool if you […]

Ingreme is a French Portuguese post-production company. I don’t know anything about them accept that their portfolio website is fantastic.

[thanks jay.]

Jason emailed around an optical illusion today that was pretty cool. I told him I found a website one time with a whole bunch. Here they are.

[enjoy jason.]

I posted about preshrunk and cool t-shirts the other night. I thought I should also show you this awesome site that Gil shared with me earlier this week. In case you don’t know him, Gil has the best t-shirts. Threadless.com is a site where designers submit their t-shirt designs, and readers vote on the best […]

Man, I love a cool t-shirt, but I have never been obsessed with sneakers. I know a guy who has really cool sneakers. You could say he collects them. He has many pairs but I guess I never asked him how many. He buys “special editions” and “limited editions” and suede ones, and camoflage ones, […]

File this under “why didn’t I think of that” yet again. Clever little blogger makes a website dedicated to cool-ass t-shirts. I love cool-ass t-shirts, so preshrunk.info and I are new best friends. I’ll be ordering many, many of these, and unless you do too, guess which one of us will be cooler. Yeah, the […]
