Timelapse Hotness

April 20, 2011

From Terje Sorgjerd’s Vimeo page: This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide.

Last week we got to hang with our old friend Mike Dytri at the Fred Segal party for the introduction of the shoe he designed for Vans. This project is all over the internet but the best way to get the story is via this awesome video by TigerTiger. Party galleries one and two.

Letterheads

If you are like me, you’ll enjoy browsing through this tumblr full of old letterheads. I’ve seen a few on random sites, but it’s rad to see them all in one place… Check them out here and keep reading to see a few of my favorites.

Minimal Branding

Minimal Branding

March 28, 2011

Here’s a rad design exercise in keeping shit simple when it comes to packaging. I understand shoppers need to be stimulated somehow, but I feel like most of these examples end up looking better than the original. A lot of OG logos are timeless, and some of these do end up looking a bit generic [...]

A Day Made of Glass – Corning

A Day Made of Glass – Corning

March 2, 2011

Here’s Corning’s look at the future. On one hand our lives look so much easier and more efficient because of the technology; on the other hand these people don’t go five seconds without touching a screen and the wife can’t even leave the driveway before swiping the navi ten or twenty times. I like that [...]

Banksy – Livin The Dream

February 17, 2011

I almost feel obligated to write about this since I’ve seen it a bunch on other sites, through my Tumblr and Flickr. I guess by doing so, I’m just adding to the hype, but whatever. I like Banksy’s stuff and make no bones about it. I also love when the haters come out on him. [...]

Cody Haltom / Gourdough’s

February 15, 2011

Seeing as Austin, TX is a big BMX town, chances are that some of you have been to Gourdough’s and experienced their over the top donuts. I myself have gone there each time I’ve been to to Austin, and highly recommend it if you have a sweet tooth and feel the need to pig out [...]

Revok

Revok

January 30, 2011

Revok is one of LA’s finest graffiti artists, definitely one of my favorites. The above photo was just posted on his site and it combines a new billboard, a sunset, traffic, the ocean and palm trees. Doesn’t get more LA. I also just watched a new video of Revok speaking on a bunch of various [...]

Desk

Desk

December 28, 2010

I’ve always been a huge advocate in having a good desk setup. I need a nice wide open space to work and I tend to work so much more efficiently when I am at my own desk. This video (that has been online for almost two years, that I just came across here) focuses on [...]

Aaron Ross House Check

Aaron Ross House Check

December 23, 2010

Ever wanted to see how a pro BMXer lives? Now you can, thanks to ESPN… They have a dope gallery online with a bunch of photos of Aaron Ross’s new house. After buying his first place and getting all settled in, Sandy Carson went through and documented Aaron’s spot. I’m really feeling the cement floors [...]

Lagerfeld on Luxury

Lagerfeld on Luxury

December 16, 2010

Even though the interviewer looks like Dimitri Martin playing a joke, this interview with Karl Lagerfeld is awesome. And even though he ironically admits to personally avoiding technology during an interview about how great the present (and the future, and technology) is, I think his point about the subjectivity of opinions on time periods in [...]

OK Go GPS Parade

December 14, 2010

Check out this video of OK Go, where they march through the streets of LA playing music with a bunch of people. They teamed up with Range Rover for this project and I guess they were linked up to some sort of GPS that tracked their paths on a map, forming a big OK GO… [...]
