Printing in Blood

Yeah. No joke. We’ve been pretty attached to our work. Me, personally, I feel a special connection to just about everything I design. I put my soul into my work, but never have I ever thought to put an actual piece of myself into it. Not like Ruud Linssen did when he printed his book in his own blood.

Biodegradable Dinnerware by Wasara

These aren’t only eco-friendly, but really well designed. The packaging and actual products are amazing. The website says, “Maru plates by WASARA are single-use, biodegradable and compostable pieces designed to accentuate whatever foods they contain.” Very awesome work.

Commissioned Social Graffiti – A Truly Interactive Brand

Interactivity is based in interaction. I think a lot of us forget what it means when we use it day to day to describe our services or our everyday life. Interactivity is meant to stimulate and engage. It’s meant to cause action. This action could be a purchase, showing up at an event, or it could be commissioning a graffitied message on the Palestinian wall. That is what SendAMessage.nl is doing.

Pay a little cash, type in a message, and a rebellious Palestinian will spray paint that message on the wall. That’s bringing interactivity to an all new level.

Some messages are trivial, a lot are socially charged. Checkout the site: http://sendamessage.nl/

Introducing OpenAire, a product that has us in awe. It’s a laptop carrying case that tranforms into a worksurface and a chair on the spot.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's super frickin' awesome!

Font Fight

I could waste some time talking about how funny this post is, or just let it speak for itself. Have fun.

PQ Sea Designs doesn’t know email marketing…

This morning brought forward a laughable situation I just had to write about. It involved an invitation to a mixer by a Harrisburg web design firm that was revoked when they discovered Vigor was a competitor. The outcome is hysterical. Read the rest of this entry »
