inventions with a smile

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Everyone! Go check atelier v.!
These lovely inventions will definitely make you smile, and some of them might actually come in very handy around the house! (i think i will give these a go!)

They may not all be very safe, but that they are original can’t be denied!

logo annex

Friday, February 16th, 2007

I’ve created an annex to my T. logo. I’m planning on using this from now on for my ‘fun’ projects. Projects which i’m doing for my own state of mind and should contain a smile … I’m not completely sure about it though. Please let me know what you think! Is it any good or shall i start over? Or is the T. logo by itself good enough for projects with a smile too?

space invader | urban invasion detected

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

In the previous post Kristel told me she had already seen the readymechs in her office. That reminded me of a ‘graffiti’ artist who is invading the world with his space invader graphics. I saw this in my street logos book.

For some time these mosaics representing the aliens from the old video game Space Invaders have been appearing in big cities. London, Paris, Tokyo, New York and others have already been attacked. On the website’s map you can see the conquered cities and the numerous invasions in that particular city. I think these invaders are all very well placed and fit the architectural history, but i can imagine some cities are not very happy with this kind of ‘graffiti’. I love it though! These invaders are a lovely exercise for the mind and without a doubt, everybody with some imagination and a sense of humour will come up with some funny stories which will make them laugh. I’m very curious about where this big invasion plan is heading towards …

For all you design nuts, get crafty and knock your favourite readymech together to decorate your desk, livingroom, … or start a puppet show.

Also check these nutcase designers’ website. They’re very good!

colour profiles

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

I read something over at Pietel’s and eyecandy’s blog this morning which got me confused. I also work with mac and noticed colours aren’t always what they’re supposed to be. The results are different in every application i use, though colour profiles are the same. This ColorSync sounds promising indeed, but doesn’t seem to fulfill expectations. Or am i not using this correctly? I should get into this more thoroughly because colours are too important in my line of work to not get them right. Anyway, not now, later on today … this is too complicated on an early saturday morning … haven’t had my coffee yet.

Suggestions anyone?
