Designs On The Blogosphere
Today's Blogosphere theme revolves around unique and interesting graphic design, including an kitchen knife block, a playful window display and a new hard drive that summons visions of a luau and beating drums.
The knife block: one of the most popular links among bloggers this week is to an intruguing device for storing kitchen knives. (For voodoo purposes, I suppose it would be possible to glue a photo of someone on the red guy's face?). A complete list of similarly designed products is available from Vice Versa's online catalog, which appeared among Wednesday's top links.
The window treatment: In California, engineering students paid homage to National Engineering Week by creating a Post-It note collage of Super Mario video game scenes on the windows of the engineering building at the University of California/Santa Cruz.
If you were a fan of the movie "Office Space" more than a fan of Mario Brothers, Idiot Works animators have given super heroes the dialogue parts of some of their favorite scenes from the flick. TPS cover sheets, the jammed copier...they're all there.
The hard drive: And for a new take on computer peripherals, check out the TikiMac unit hard drive that looks like it belongs atop a flaming torch around a Hawaiian beach bonfire/luau.
At Talon News, design (and everything, for that matter) is on hold while the "news agency" figures out what it wants to be.
BLOGPULSE TREND GRAPH OF THE DAY: For some graphics of our own, we present the curious spikes surrounding women of power and fame.
