A bountiful drink with a befitting name in a beautiful glass.

Adobe's disingenuous media blitz has been answered, not by Apple, but by the unimpressed users themselves.

Unless Adobe has already spent vast resources porting their remaining suite of popular applications to run on Flash I don't understand why they are wasting so much cash and public goodwill on what seems a secondary, if all-pervasive, product.

Adobe's "ad":

 

And the response.

This beautiful book, made by the Studio 3 folks from Oslo, Norway, teaches you typography in the style of a vintage children's activity book.

The idea behind it is that you can learn about typography in a fun and colourful way.

You can look at the full contents, if you temporarily disable your flash blocker, from the book site here.

 

As a half-italian the love of pasta is already in my blood, so finding a book that dishes up recipes in a bold typo/graphical style is too much to resist.
The video below shows it off beautifully and should really be made into an iPad version of the book.

Sometimes all it takes is getting up and looking at things from a different angle.

I meant to post this last week when I saw it, but didn't get any further than tweeting about it.

The beautiful colours in the Apollo 11 clip reminded me of the few sixties films I know and love (Bullitt, The Graduate) and of all the ones I have yet to see.

On the list is: The Towering Inferno, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke and The Dirty Dozen.

Another beautiful Tilt-shift video.

I never really believed New York existed anyway, and this just proves it.

I had no idea LEGO were working on an architectural range when I last posted about it. Thankfully it looks like they are using the standard pieces, with the only concession being the more architecturally useable brick colours. On the downside it looks a bit short on something very dear to architects; detail.

Though I have yet to splash out on a tilt-shift lens I have toyed around with the effect in Photoshop. These are a couple of photos I took on a summer holiday in Cornwall a few years ago.
