Talent is Hard Work

Creative Scan-and-Draw Color-Changing Pen Design



A color sensor on the top of the pen registers the color of the object you select, which in turn is displayed digitally on the back of the device for verification. Red, green and blue inks are then mixed - much like in a traditional printer - to create your desired color...

how to work better

Mar 31, 2009

the dolphins are online

after the release of the new digit site and the closer to our home town last year release of of the now multi-awarded beetroor website, adding to the ever growing list of the minimalistic full screen portfolio site comes the new dolphins website with the added twist of the other big trend of papaervision 3d. To many it might look like a rip-off, of not one but many sites, but to be honest if the brief is to maximize the exposure of your work and minimize all the rest there is not much room left. Personally I think it is a minimalistic approach that I understand and to certain extend I agree with but in many cases, this one not being an exception, I find a inconsistency of the design approach of the site with the design approach of their work. Having said that I have to say that their work is quite stunning and I wish all the best for the future.

new scents packaging by Korres

the always well designed family of products has a new member. Korres made a name for natural health and beauty care products that was mainly distribute to the limited market of pharmacies. For quite a while now Korres is expanding, opening own stores all over the world, form NY to Glasgow and China. But to my knowledge this is the first mass market product and these is some very nice packaging

new site for digit london

the new site for human interaction design studio Digit London is online. Its minimal and with the current trend of full screen video (although the stop motion, short of, animation is a good touch). I like the use of the back background pattern and the clear and unsubmenued menu. The project section is a bit poor (come on people 12 projects is all you got) to the point that someone will think it's a bit elitist. Make sure you check out the contact map, the satellite version (a dream of green all around).
Enjoy

This is a sad day. As far as i know this is the first victim of the global financial crisis and unfortunately is a (personally) very influential firm. So as from January 23, 2009 the Designers Republic call it quits.

When enough is enough...

Inevitably in every designer’s career there comes a point where you no longer feel that a client is a fit with your business. If you have never had to fire a client, there is sure to be a time when you will. This is unfortunately just a part of doing business that is pretty much...

design walk 2008




The 2008 design walk (the second year in the installment) has come and gone. This year the focus (in my eyes at least) was more on projects for the events rather than presenting the offices (and in some cases last year the work) of the teams. I am not sure if it should be just the one or the other. I think a blend of both would be ideal especially if the studio projects were supported by some work in progress. The you would be a useful thing for everyone. Students and young creatives would learn, clients would get accustomed with the process and professional would be able to discuss and collaborate.
Overall a good event bringing attention to the Greek design scenes that needs it. Kudos to the organizers

create your web pallete



this is wicked! I don't know how long has this been out there but it's really good. Create a color pallete in multiple ways and in an array of combinations and then use it for your web design project (or even export it for a variety of programs including photoshop an illustrator)
Nice!
