I, like many, are saddened at the loss of a modern magician today. Steve Jobs, thank you for my countless late nights lost in wonder, staring at bits behind glass.
Thank you, Steve Jobs

“Bad assery,” it’s in the dictionary under digital artist Dan LuVisi. He’s melted eyeballs out of their sockets on iconic properties including Batman and Superman. Check out his showcase.

Jill Sylvia’s paper artwork is inspires awe in its sheer time-consuming precision and detail. In a time where beautiful artwork seem to be everywhere online, what inspires awe is the humanity behind the pieces.
The iPad inspires new UI design
Monday, April 5th, 2010
Love it or hate it, the iPad is here. What’s Agogo worthy here is the intriguing new ways to think about the tablet interface, especially when it comes to electronic magazines. The new UI behind Bonnier’s Mag+ application for Popular Science sets the bar incredible high for future magazine iterations. Read more.
Bad ass mutha-posters
Friday, March 19th, 2010
Notice a trend in designers creating movie poster remakes? It may be a sign of jobless designers creating money-making side projects or an emergent theme of inspiration wafting through the ethers. Whatever the case, here’s Ibraheem Youssef’s take on some Quentin Tarantino films. We’ve been following this guy on Flickr, but have failed to feature him yet. Well, it’s about time!
Kids these days

Vectortuts interviewed illustrator Christian San Jose and featured some of his vibrant artwork. He may be only 20 years old, but this young artist already has a lot of work under his belt. He’s worked for Nike Philippines, Coca-Cola Company Philippines, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, and Paramore. (Yes, that’s right, those last three are names of bands you’re too uncool to know.) Check San Jose out.
Thanks to @valdezign for the story.
The Infomancer Michael Paukner raises facts from the dead
Friday, March 5th, 2010
Designer Michael Paukner is an infographic wizard level 25. We’ve seen his work before, but thanks to to a Fubiz feature on him, our interests have been rekindled to a height bordering fanboy love. Not only is Paukner a splendid designer, but he strums all the strings of our nerd love by illustrating cool concepts of astronomy, cosmology, geometry, epistemology and many other cool topics. He’s even kind enough to provide a free zipped download of iPhone compatible wallpapers of his artwork. If he were to sell his character (Infographic Wizard 25lv.) on Ebay, we would put up my house for it. Be sure to check out his online shop.
Credit where credits are due
Sunday, February 21st, 2010Some of the most amazing motion graphics out there are being viewed by millions of people worldwide through Hollywood movies. We’re talking about title sequences and end credits. As you can see from some of our favorites below, creative motion graphics don’t always come from animated movies.
Thanks to The Art of the Title Sequence for having the best quality legal versions of the clips anywhere online. For quick viewing, I’ve also embedded lower quality video from other sites. UPDATE (2/22/2010): It didn’t take long for the videos to be taken down from Vimeo. I’ll leave the remaining survivors.
For best quality viewing, I recommend clicking on the “480p” or “720p” links next to each title. Clicking on the title itself will take you to The Art of the Title Sequence which may also have credits and extras available.
