IPad, Kindle, Ebooks, tablets and the future of the magazine?

With the recent hype surrounding Apples latest must have gadg, I was interested in how magazines and in particular how graphic design may evolve onto such devices. With the faux page curls, slightly textured paper of the iBook app on the iPad I think Apple have gone for a bit of a cheesy design UI. Bonnier and their prototype Mag+ system of design have got it pretty much nailed in my opinion.

The first thing about Robot club is you do not talk about robot club

Japnanese + fighting + robots = awesome. Challenge the CAD!

Tenori-On

Finally someone's created a Flash Tenori-On. If you've not seen this instument from Yamaha in action before I've posted Little Boots using one before which is well worth a watch if you want to see it used properly. Great fun! Below is my quick but lame attempt but if you want a go visit Nudge.

John Hughes Tribute


The legendary Director / Producer / Screenwrite John Hughes has sadly died. His films are still among my favourites and I dread to think how many times I watched Weird Science or Ferris Bueller. This video features a mash-up of the 'brat pack films' and French band Phoenix and is a fitting tribute to the great man. I have to watch the Breackfast Club now and I'm seeing Phoenix on the 28th October at Brixton Academy.

Augmented Reality Business Card


Ever since I first saw Seb Lee-Delisle create a worm hole in your webcam I've been fasinated by augmented reality. I love the idea of blending analogue printed media and digital on-screen graphics together. Here it's the turn of Jonas Jager's Augmented Businesscard. It's a bit gimmicky sure, but it's a great use mediums.

Robot Cake

I turned 30 yesterday and my lovely girlfriend spoilt me with various robot related treats (and a trip to China! thanks Stace x). Today I did a quick google search for "30th cake" and look who popped up. Guess I'm not the only 30-year-old robot geek with an understanding and talented girlfriend.
