The Amazing Bibimbap.
Great little webcomic-slash-recipe from Kochen für Schlampen, documenting a dish of bibimbap’s metamorphosis from raw ingredients to finished product. Uggggggh, so delicious… Makes me miss the little Korean joint down the street from ...
Design Police.
Hate Comic Sans? Horrible stock photos? Bad writing? Download Design Police’s Visual Enforcement Kit and plaster everything with these little stickies. (Kind of like the ones that come in my issues of Domino, but more righteous.) (Thanks J...
Rain or shine!
…Or snow or fog. Pick your city and this weather service, a project by Kurt Riedi and Steffi Gloor, serves up your charmingly illustrated forecast. (I love the hands popping into the frame to hold up clouds - so cute.) Via swissmiss....
Plugged in.
Personalization-happy iPhone users will like this collection of 100 (really) beautiful iPhone wallpapers. I’ve had about a month now to become completely dependent on my own iPhone, and of course went through the designs and culled out my favo...
Noodle soup.
Not to go off topic or anything, but I must share with you the Noodle Soup Oracle. Somehow, all the combinations come out sounding delicious. Julie and I cannot decide - were the noodle soups all entered as is? Or does the algorithm make them up o...
A graphic a day.
Maine graphic artist Christopher David Ryan (of keyboard shortcut fame) posts one of his pieces each day on his website, making for a very cool web gallery. His work exhibits a range of styles, but my personal favorites are ones like these, which us...
Like reading my secret soul.
I’ve always liked tag clouds (must be the unholy mashup of word nerd and computer scientist), but Wordle’s are the prettiest I’ve seen. Here are some of mine. (Who knew “wine” would be such a big one? Seriously?) Sha...
Color Chart.
Color aficionados everywhere will appreciate MoMA’s first-ever online exhibition, Color Chart (on view through May 12). The “show” features the works of 44 artists from 1918 to 2008, including this one by Swiss artist Niele Toroni ...
Random Creative.
So I was Googling myself today (yes I do it from time to time; I’ll admit it) and discovered that I’ve been added to Random Creative’s list! What is Random Creative, you ask? This is a no-frills list of exceptional creative websit...
What?
Well, hello, what have we here? Four downloadable, printable, do-it-yourself paper bird toys from illustrator Josh McKible. I wouldn’t mind perching one of these on my desk, and McKible’s approach to putting these out there resonates wi...
A typographic fantasyland.
This takes Bembo’s Zoo to an entirely new level… This is Olivier Beaudoin’s “Typolution”, set to “Nostrand” by Ratatat. Via Black Eiffel. Share This...
Find your design style.
Jessica Jones at How About Orange posted a link to this HGTV “What’s Your Design Style?” quiz. It pegs me as “eccentric with a touch of hip, sweet and classy”: “For you, it’s all about the mix. Any style is...
A typographic menagerie.
For a fun five-minute diversion, check out the web version of Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich’s children’s book, Bembo’s Zoo. A whole lineup of animals are cleverly formed out of the characters of serif font Bembo, complete with sound...
