today and tomorrow

I actually like this KaleidoLight designed by Dodo Arslan, better than that Numen Light.

This is actually one grid rotating and not several. David OReilly has some other variations on his website. He also has this interesting concept for an iPhone application: iHologram.

Yosuke Abe is an Art Director at tha ltd., a Japanese web design agency. He is one of the creators of FFFFOUND!, one of my favorite websites. I’ve featured almost every project by tha ltd., I guess I’m a true fan of their work. They did the Design and the Elastic Mind website, they made that lush screensaver called Dropclock, that funny Softbank website and the multi user UNIQLO Grid.
Back to Yosuke, he did some nice projects himself too. Here are 2 which I really like.

‘JOCATORE / ALLENATORE‘, you can switch the focus of the video between the ball and the window.

The second project is called ‘Family Affair‘, a very funny video about the Jackson family.

‘Tubo Collection’ by Joel Escalona, these objects remind me of radiators. I’m not sure if they are comfortable at all.

When I went to grade school, I always envied the cool kids with their 4 color pens. This CMYK Pen by Roman Lubimov is for those kids who became designers.

Some of the Mad Men cast members did a shoot for Playboy. No it’s not Joan or any of the other girls, it is a fashion spread with the guys in their vintage-inspired suits. Not even Don is in it.

The adidas Y-3 is one of the few websites who relaunch twice a year. It’s a fashion thing I guess, adidas Y-3 is a cooperation between adidas and Yohji Yamamoto. Over the years, the website was always on the forefront of Flash based web design. But it is nice to see that they are cutting down on the effects and go for a more straight forward approach. I’ve noticed this on many websites lately, simplicity is making a big comeback. So maybe the spring/summer 2009 website will be mix between Flash and HTML.

This womens shoe called ‘Molnet’ is definitely one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen with 3 stripes on. It is so hideous that is cool again, just never ever put those red things on.

Henrietta Swift designed the inside of envelopes, each one contains an alphabetical letter.

Looking at simplicity of form with in a busy image and relating this back to technology by using the relationship of the RGB colours from a jpeg icon.
