Party bear

If you’re ever in a pickle about where to put your party snacks…


Xmas

23/12/11

Last Friday, we had our annual Christmas dinner.
Before the restaurant, we decided to have a drink or two (or three) at the studio, to take advantage of our new beautiful giant dining table, which we have come to call The Resolution Table.
We went to a little restaurant in Raval called Lo de Flor, that opened a little while back (in place of Lempika). Cozy decoration and delicious food and wine. What else could we ask for to celebrate Christmas?! Below you can see the only usable picture we took… unfortunately the rest of the boys aren’t on it, because amongst all the fun we forgot to take a whole group photo…

We hope all you also had so much fun at your xmas dinners/parties as we did and our wish is that all your dirtiest wished come true this Holiday season! ;)


Paper rainbows

Jen Stark definitely has incredible patience. I can’t even begin to imagine all the time it takes to cut out all those intricate layers… If you feel like you need to look at something beautifully colorful, go check out her site!

 


Back to the Future

5/12/11

 

Oldschool vintage childhood (or otherwise) photos reenacted by the same subjects many years later, with every little detail in place including location, props and lighting (imagine all the work that went into finding everything!). This is Irina Werning‘s photography series titled “Back to the Future”.

 

Then there is the less professional version of this project on zefrank.com where people just send in their old photos together with the reenaction. Not so perfect down to every little detail, but just as fun!


Snowmen

28/11/11

 

Wouldn’t you just love to have a snowman on your keychain? Especially if it was unique, a snowman that nobody else had?

FRSTEE makes digitally printed snowmen from your (or anyone else’s) Twitter account. The more followers you have the bigger your snowman’s head will be. He will also get cool buttons on his belly, one for each year you’ve been using Twitter.

 

By the way, you can make one for all your friends, you don’t need to log in to any account, just give the username you want to make a snowman for and presto! The perfect Xmas gift for those social media-crazy friends you have.

 

I want the one with the big head please!


Swiffy

21/11/11

 

Good news for those who still haven’t mastered the world of HTML5. A Google tool called Swiffy that converts Flash into just that, HTML5.

 

Works good for simpler stuff like banners, but according to the comments in this article, be careful when converting more complicated projects.


The spying game

As you might know we are looking for a couple of people to join our team. But what you might not know is to what lengths we go to to get to know you before the interview. So delete all those embarrassing photos and comments from your facebook ;)

A game for designers

31/10/11

Oh Kerning!

The world would be magical if letters could guess, by themselves, how distant (or how close) from their “mates” they should be. Of course the world is what it is, letters don’t have brains and designers have to control these relationships.

 

At least now we can have some fun while practicing it!

Here’s a kerning game:
