now who's on wheels?

The Archive Series
agak-agaknye la kan.. tak jatuh ke buku tu kalau ade benda langgar rack tu?

quoted from David Garcia Studio:

The Archive Series are investigations on space and books. Its departure point is density and micro spaces, and a series of traditional relationships that humans have to books.

Archive I is a weight balance library,the readers chair is elevated in proportion to the amount of books in the shelves.

Archive II is a circular library for the nomad book collector, allowing the user to step inside, and walk away with half a ton of books.

Archive III is a censored book stand, the books close suddenly if anyone approaches the reading stand.

it ran away..

it's fun seeing how all those boys running and dancing on a muddy track.. their expresions are priceless..

quoted from Creative Review Blog:

Director Dougal Wilson draws inspiration from the dreaded cross country runs that have afflicted many a British schoolchild in this charming vid for Love Lost by The Temper Trap.

congrats, Uniform Project!

it's been a year since Sheena started this project. i'm really proud of what she's done. the project finally ended 2 days ago. this video summarizes everything she did during this 1 year project. there's a special notification everytime the number of kids going to school adds up.

quoted from The Uniform Project's Vimeo:

Remember May 1st 2009? And the days since? Sheena's yearlong journey is now coming to a close. Through the high times and low, holidays, birthdays, and trips abroad, there's been one constant… or actually two. This is the story of a girl and her little black dress.

here's her last dress up for the year:

zomba-zomba!

everytime i watch an apocalypse movie, it's either the story's about the world's gna end because of nature disaster / alien or robots taking over the world / too much war going on / suddenly everyone's becoming a zombie because they eat or drink or exposed to something biochemically bad. did i miss anything? do tell!

Noupe posted a Zombie Inspiration post and these are the ones that caught my eyes:


Zombies Ahead


50+ Brain-Sucking, Walking the Earth Dead, Vector Zombies


Zombie Tweeter Bird


Badass Zombie Combat Boots


Zombie Lunch Bag


Zombie Girl


AnatoWii


Brain Bowl


Zombie Spock


How to Survive a Zombie Attack Infographic (a good read!)
btw, my favourite zombie flick so far is Zombieland :p~ it cracks me up! Zombi Kampung Pisang pun best jugak.. hehe.. not to mention my favourite game, Left 4 Dead which i haven't got to play for some months now.. tunggula cuti..

take a look outside

so i was watching Percy Jackson after subuh and suddenly got distracted by this yellow light gleaming outside my window.. i've never seen anything like it before.. i got excited and grabbed my camera, went outside and shoot! then i realize how much i've been occupied within this globe that i'm in, with internet and assignments, that i haven't really looked outside and breathe it in deeply. the real world is out there and i've been trapped in here for so long.

i'm not much of a photographer, but these pictures means a lot to me..

fingers act

Cheap Pop Song from Rhett Dashwood on Vimeo.

Mr. Dashwood said there's a puzzle hidden within the video. i guess it's about guessing the right characters of the fingers. hmmm.. let's see.. the ones i think i saw in there were Robbin Hood, Elmo (definitely), Frankenstein, Princess Leia (or Cleopatra..), Ernie, Hellboy, Rudolph with its red nose, Yoda, Charlie Chaplin, Indiana Jones, Gandalf, Dark Vader, Ultraman, TMNT, that annoying Teletubbies dude and Ironman.

saw the video on uFunk.

Grieves & Budo "Cloud Man" Music Video from Jesse Brown on Vimeo.

i love those clouds.. they looked like bitten chocs :) and those colourful stripes make me happy.. the video might be a bit draggy, but it suits the lyrics "Goes On" kan.. saw this on Changethethought.

sticky disk

it's ironic, isn't it, when a diskette that used to be this nifty storage device turned into an old-fashion sticky notes.. if i'm a diskette, i certainly wouldn't want myself to be replaced by some cheap paper notes.. it would be like a diva out-shadowed by some sexier younger pop singer.. found these on Designers Couch.

PS: i used to download thousands of The Sims objects, skins, walls, floors, clothes and store them in bucket-full of diskette. happy times.. :)

it used to be shadows on the wall

these cute animal and monster paint on Lily Cobiella's hands are temporary tattoo that you can get on NPW. just rinse some water with it and voila! Hector Serrano made them :) found at Cool Hunting.

hazy spinning

NotJones came up with these highly simplified identity for Boomerang+PLC. i can feel them spinning around~ i love the colours he used for the cards and letterheads.. found at Design Work Life.

pixelated PSA

My Green Box from mirrorshade on Vimeo.

way to turn over sad issues into a lively solution! this PSA is about teenage suicide prevention. the use of cheery 8 bit music and visual suits the target audience. found at Changethethought.

inspirational: live now!

Eric Smith is such an inspirational dude.

quoted from Booooooom:

Designer Eric Smith was diagnosed with cancer and it motivated him to start an art project called Live Now. He has collaborated with many talented people, if you’re interested let him know!

loopy tower

London Olympic Tower By Anish Kapoor
quoted from Designyearbook:

A spiraling red tower, dubbed "Orbit," designed by Turner prize-winning artist Anish Kapoor was named the winner of the competition to design the new “Olympic Tower” for the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games in London. As Britain biggest piece of public art, the 394-foot snaking steel tower will allow people to climb, giving a spectacular view of London.
