Coffee + Design + Kickstarter = Awesome.
That’s what this Kickstarter project is–it’s awesome!
POTHRA™ combines passion for recycling with design – coffee grounds are transformed into a unique material with these beautiful pots.
So cool:
I think the evolution of logos is quite fascinating.
It’s almost like seeing the design process, but over the course of years and years.
The infographic after the break, displays a number of different corporate logos as they’ve evolved over the years, and it’s interesting to compare design style in different time periods as well as seeing what outstanding features have survived the many re-boots.
Take a look and learn:
London based Chinese illustrator Jing Zhang has put together an amazing set of illustrations.
In 1999, the Web was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world by Timothy Berners-Lee, a physicist working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
Over twenty years later, the first ever website is currently being restored to its Web 1.0 (or maybe Web 0.9 Beta?) glory! Super cool!
I wrote a while back about “cyber space fossils” and the need to clean up the web, but as our society shifts and becomes more and more reliant upon the Internet, maybe it would be good for us to keep some pieces of the past alive. For nostalgia? Yes. But also for educational purposes.
Finding just the right shade of color when you’re formulating your web design can be a pain sometimes. You might need a color just a little darker or lighter for your link values or whatever CSS element it might be.
Instead of opening Photoshop or other favorite design app, just jump over to this cool online color tool!
This is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen in a long time.
It really hit home for me, as my littlest girl–age four–loves Superman. She was glued to the screen while we watched the old Superman movie I watched as a kid. But what’s more fun than that, is she happens to have an alter ego. She is, “Super Girl.” The funny thing is, she would sometimes become Super Girl before she ever watched Superman!
Well, my little girl isn’t the only little girl turned super hero:
This 4-year old boy has some really cool parents.
Stephanie Kaloi’s 4-year old son had surgery on both his legs and set him home with a walker and knee immobilizer. Having a 4-year old myself, I can imagine this was not a very delightful thing to experience.
Then things got awesome:
Here’s a fun look at the history of color according to the “global authority on color” Pantone.
Do you notice any trends over the years?
Seems like a lot of greens to me, what do you think?
Take a looks:
Have you noticed some of the hidden messages that are hiding your app icons?
You can see the “Neverland” reference in this app My Travel Bag.
Here’s a few more:
Are you a Sketch user?
If you are, I’m sure you’ve found a lack of resources as it’s a relatively new and popular app. There has been some talk as it being a Photoshop and Fireworks killer, but that remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, you can hardly talk about anything being a killer of any sort until it has some decent online resources.
For those Sketch lovers out there, here are some hawt little Sketch templates:
