Marion Bataille - "ABC3D"
If only learning the ABCs could have been this fun back-in-the-day :)
I'm always surprised by how few people use this neat little application on the Adobe website. Adobe Kuler is a very handy tool for designers who become stumped with colors schemes or those who need a little inspiration from other artists; I've sworn by it for a lot of my projects. This application allows users to create different colors schemes as well as interact with an entire community of color mixers. Each base color is assigned its corresponding rules (analogous, monochromatic, complementary etc.) which can also be modified to fit one's desired values. You can even upload your favorite image and build a scheme from it! Amazing. Now anyone can have a good color sense! Sort of..
This just goes to show how a simple act of crafting bubbles can result in something rather sublime and beautiful. Charlotte Sullivan is artist and designer based in Florence, MA. Her website showcases a lot of great design concepts as well as some very interesting reflections on her Massachusetts environment. Check out her website at www.hybridfloaters.com or to see more bubble drawings click here.
This music video came out in 2002 so it is a bit dated, but for all of you who have not had a chance to listen to some of Yoshinori Sunahara or even been able to catch some of director Junji Kojima's work then you should definitely start now. Yoshinori Sunahara is a Shibuya-kei DJ and music producer from Sapporo whose known for his interesting melodies and synth arrangements. A lot of his songs are filled with quirky sounds and airy rhythms. Some of you also might already know the director, Junji Kojima for his humorous "Japanese Culture Lesson" on sushi. Check that out too if you get the chance.
Love it, LOVE BEAT!
These are a few things my girlfriend Stella got me for Christmas. She really pays attention.
