Four Fifths Design

Designer: Psychic Factory

We’re all well aware by now of the possibilities the Apple iPad presents. But has anyone considered turning into a DJ with one? Well actually yes. When it was released, I already saw this eventually coming. This is the iDJ Music Mixing Station concept. It’s supposed to be a power-packed performance device in a dual deck layout. A DJ myself, I can understand the liking for something like this. Yet at the same time, I can guarantee this wouldn’t catch in the industry outside of start up DJs and house parties. Nevertheless, this design is nicely done, and is at least more appealing than the ion iPod decks we saw come and go.

Designer: Antonio Carusone

Just because I’m a longboarder myself, I needed to showcase this new piece. Buddy Carr Skateboards just released L’Esigenza Della Velocita, designed by Antonio Carusone. The name translates to “The Need for Speed” in Italian and that is exactly where Carusone drew most inspiration. The beautiful graphic design as well as the color palettes used are reminiscent of race cars from the 1960s and 70s. Its simplicity also pays tribute to the past time. The design itself is based off the Golden Ratio. Furthermore the typeface is self designed as well!

While we’re at it, check out some of the other designs at Buddy Carr Skateboards…

Just to update everyone on a few things…

1. I’m no longer using Digg. I now use Reddit. Why? Traffic, that’s why!

Designer: Andrew Kim

This guy has talent. Eighteen year old student Andrew Kim continues to amaze me. Design Fabulous, Andrew’s ongoing blog, has been a favorite of mine for some time due to its intimacy and quality. Andrew now has released images of his HTC 1 concept. From sketches to rendering, the product is not only quite imaginable but just as, if not more appealing then many mobile devices on the market currently. Have a look…

Designer: Nate Whitson

This motion graphic piece produced by Nate Whitson is an expansive voyage through the skyscape of enterprise cloud computing with the almighty Google! It’s fun, easy to understand and well rendered.
