A Random Design Quote

A ran­dom quote on design, cul­ture and art.

There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.

- Pablo Picasso, from the book The Zen of Creativity by John Daido Loori

 

Fee Phi Foe Fum… The Golden Ratio Explained!

Vi Hart makes great math videos. These videos on phi and the fibonacci sequence are great. Designers (and science geeks) will get a kick out of them. All hail the golden ratio!

How They Did It – Infographic Edition

Who doesn’t love the data visualization revolution? If you want to know how to make your own info-graphics, check out these three killer videos on how to create great info-graphics.

Beware the ides of March!

Ides of March Poster

Caesar:
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue shriller than all the music
Cry “Caesar!” Speak, Caesar is turn’d to hear.

Soothsayer:
Beware the ides of March.

Caesar:
What man is that?

Brutus:
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

Julius Caesar Act 1, scene 2, 15–19

Amazing Video: Snow Globe LA

Winter is hopefully gone, but here is a beautiful video to remind us of the Holiday Season. Take a look at Los Angeles as seen as a snow globe from the creative folks at All Cut Up Films. It’s pretty amazing, plus I love the tune “Samskeyti” by Sigur Ros.

“Snow Globe Los Angeles” was created using over 4000 still images shot on a custom built camera rig. The effect was achieved using a Canon 5D MII, a homemade tilt-shift style lens, a light bulb filled with water, and paper cut outs to create shaped bokeh.
