Film promoting use of Technicolor process to industrial film producers circa 1949. Everything must have been so grey before 1950.

If you never venture outside the box, you will probably not be creative. But if you never get inside the box, you will certainly be stupid.Christopher Peterson

If assembly instructions were this good, I’d have to hang onto them—hell, I’d even frame them.

Some really intriguing photography by Brian Parillo. His black & white photos capture great angles, shapes, and a mysterious glamour of Los Angeles architecture.

I knew I recognized Tatiana Plakhova’s work as I’ve posted it before. She continues to push exceptional work that seems inspired by data, networking and communication. Being drawn to geometric shapes, infographics, and technology, Tatiana’s work really appeals to me.
If you like her work from above, Tatiana’s portfolio should keep you clicking for more »

Such a solid identity system for Berg & Berg, created by Heydays. The color, stock, and printing technique all give this clothing accessory brand a warm, comfortable feel. The iconography looks to be different stitching techniques which represent Berg & Berg’s attention to detail and quality.

Rayguns remind me of childhood—always wanted one and still do. Wondering what I’d do with it? Maybe I’d just whip up some Pop Tarts.

If you’ve never tried your hand in Paper Marbling, images like the one above may seem difficult to produce. Although it looks like a microscopic image of something cellular, you can easily create these kinds of images—on your own.
Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other stone. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric. Through several centuries, people have applied marbled materials to a variety of surfaces. It is often employed as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationery. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique monotype.

Some interesting insights into the creative process—especially when being combined with collaboration, introducing incentives, and letting go of the “single right plan” mentality.

![I’ve posted work by Alex Varanese before, but also noted that he had made my favorite artists list, so this post is justified.
The above image is from an illustration series which explores how an identity can be reduced to a “finite set of properties”.
Alex states this series is:
A collection of [seemingly] random visual ideas produced over a period of a couple weeks in November of 2011. Much of the creative content seen here, however, was pieced together from half-remembered dreams, edgeless shards and overwritten fragments of a partial existence originally thought to be lost forever to the 1980’s; as such, it might be more accurate to say this work was simply recovered.

Even though I didn’t excel all that well at art history in college, I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you’re an art history buff, you’ll surely appreciate this.
