Processing
I’ve been tinkering with Processing recently, well trying to tinker with it. The coding skills are not quite up to scratch (I am working on it though (trying to anyway), would love to program my own DV) It’s Open Source language for specifically creating and prototyping data visualisations, the visualisations do not render in Safari [...]

Collaborative filtering
How do you look for books, new music and information? We increasingly seem to discover things via recommendation features on websites and web applications. It’s nothing new, and I suppose most of us now see recommendation engines as standard features on websites. Ever thought about how much they shorten the buying cycle/purchase funnel? I think [...]

Data Visualisation Deconstructed
Well it’s no secret that I have small obsession with web applications and really damn cool data visualisation concepts. Recently I digged a bit deeper into the anatomy of web applications and now I’m digging a bit deeper into anatomy of DV concepts. There are so many cool DV concepts about, some of them are [...]

3 Pretty cool examples of product design
What a hatchback! This Alpha Brera hands-down beats any of it’s equivalents in the market. Whilst people are oogling over the Audi A5, this older (2006) Alpha still beats it in the aesthetics dept. Arcoroc Pint Glasses, found these in the office. French made, such attention to detail and even the typeface used for the [...]
Zazzling Zoom
I was surfing the web for t-shirts today, just looking and not buying. I want to print my own, there are so many Banksy tee’s available but no Binoy Varghese tee’s or any of the artists that I like. Anyway I stumbled upon Zazzle.Com, which at first looked like any other t-shirt website, however, after [...]

Geometry, circles and things
Kapitza have just released a book of geometric art, I’m a big fan geometric/linear art and geometry because It takes me back to my childhood. When we were kids my Mum use to teach us how to draw all kinds of shapes and patterns using compasses, I know, I know most kids just used to [...]

Cool Soap
I’m really liking the Malin+Goetz product packaging. It’s been around for quite some time, however, I like the way the type descends, gets smaller (in size and weight) and fades in colour. I’ve been a bit cheeky and copied this style for a few powerpoint presentations. It’s quite a cool way of showing how drawn [...]

Where to find inspiration
If you’re ever looking for creative inspiration or just “cool stuff” on the web, take a look at the explore page on tumblr. Honestly it’s brilliant, tumblr seems to be the blogging platform of choice for so many photobloggers (phloggers, I just made that up), designers and creative types, you’re sure to find some gems [...]
