When ever the boys over at Hoefler & Frere-Jones create a new typeface I want nothing more than to go and drop a few bones to add the beautiful little characters to my font library. But alas I realize I just don’t have that kind of cash. Dang it.
I’ve been very absent from my blog the past couple of months, and yet I have much news I need to post and update everyone (like leaving my freelance life and working for a large design firm machine).
Japanese photographer Shinichi Maruyama, now living in New York, has created some stunning images. It’s almost like he’s created traditional Japanese/ Chinese calligraphy only instead of on paper they’re in mid air. The photo of how he creates some of the images is just as amazing as the works themselves. I wouldn’t mind owning one of his prints. Really amazing.
I think just about every guy has a thing for a mustang once in his life. Mine happened after that show with Nicolas Cage and Angie Pit (Gone in 60 Secs), but it lasted only for a fleeting moment. Well the team over at FirstBorn Multimedia have come up with a pretty amazing site to help sell the 2010 Ford Mustang.
One of the nice things about the site is the size. As people’s computer screens get bigger and wider it’s a tough call as a web designer—how do you create a website that looks good on a laptop and also on a 24 inch screen? Most websites today are built at 960 pixels wide, and even though the Mustang site is the same width it feels much bigger than that thanks to it’s large graphics and the great use of background images.
Did I also mention the site’s a 100% Flash? You can checkout the site yourself by clicking here.
I’ve never been a fan of Rockband (I prefer to play the real guitar), and when it comes to video games I’m more of a “shoot ‘em up” save the world from aliens type of gamer. Nonetheless I thought this promo video for the new Beatles edition of Rockband was pretty great (and who doesn’t love the Beatles). I really liked the mixture of 2D animation with the 3D layered depth. It’s very anime meets the Gorillaz.
We have a pretty small home. Built in 1936 it has 3 bedrooms and for the most part is plenty big for us. The biggest space concern we have with our house though is both Susan and I work from home. She quilts, crafts, and designs in the second family room space (sharing with all the kids toys and our treadmill), and I use the third bedroom as the world-wide-head-quarters of Marcfolio.
Long story short a while back I was outside in our yard and started to dream up a plan to build a backyard office space, and since then have been searching for a perfect solution. When I saw this one I thought it was pretty close. I love the sunken space and with the glass bulb top it’s pretty futuristic. I could totally see myself walking out back to work every morning, and in winter it’d be pretty sweet covered in snow (snow cave).
