Taken By Storm

A new documentary is in the works about the most influential album artist in history. Trust me, probably 80% of the albums you own were designed by Storm Thorgerson (if you have good taste in music of course). This guy is truly a genius.

I have linked the Kickstarter project so that you can donate to make sure this film gets completed. Love it!

"Storm Thorgerson designed 80% of your record collection and has been called the sixth member of Pink Floyd. This film about his life is guided by the lovely notion that beauty and poetic discovery can send us back in time. Soundtracks, signed posters, and original artwork await you."

We Are Not Time Travelers
Posted 06/22/10
Image Courtesy of behance.net "What would you do if you could travel back in time? Assassinate Marilyn Monroe? Go on a date with Hitler? Obviously. But here's what I'd do after that: grab all the modern technology I could find, take it to the late 70's, superficially redesign it all to blend in, start a consumer electronics company to unleash it upon the world, then sit back as I rake in billions, trillions, or even millions of dollars." I have posted some work by this artist before and and continually impressed by his work. If you like retro art & design, this link is for you.

CSS3 Page Flip Effect
Posted 06/18/10
For all those designers and developers out there that are looking at ways to implement CSS3 in cool new ways, here is a great example that I found on http://www.romancortes.com. I'm so used to seeing these kinds of implementations only realized in Flash, but to see it in regular markup gives me hope. Yaay CSS3!

Sony E3 Presentation

Fun fun! Can't wait for some of these games. Most notably, so far, has to be Twisted Metal. Man, those have always been fun to play. You can watch the entire presentation here. I would have embedded the video here, but Gamespot's player has embed issues. Stupid Gamespot.

The Genius of Design - Ep1
Posted 06/15/10
Kai sent me a link to a very nice video from the BBC that discusses the true "art" of design and it's applications. Tremendous. Especially love the tid-bits about pottery. I need a kiln and a wheel! If you like what you see, you can follow it up with Episode 2. I will continue to add additional episodes as they become available. Check back often to follow along.
