paper dreams.

Who said you need fancy gadgets to keep yourself entertained? Like I said earlier, go back to pen and paper. Well, in this case paper and something to cut the paper with.

“Paper Dreams” is a Junior Degree Project, by Kenneth Onulak, that he worked on over his Spring semester at RISD.

“I wanted the animation to have a dream like quality exploring the reality and space in which the dream exists and felt that the cutout technique fit this idea. Color was another consideration that I built into the design of the animation to help enhance the dreamlike qualities of the film. From here the idea grew and as I did studies involving birds, umbrellas, water, trees, and other things I was able to refine my idea and break it down to find the core essentials of the film.”

The final film took 12 weeks to complete, has beautiful music by John Nolan, he thanked his Grandma, and I think I will watch it again – just because.

PostCarten is a postable, pop-up box with seeds. The football edition has a retro cover illustration by Ross Tereperk and it also comes with your own miniature football pitch that has upright goalposts and a flickable ball.

Just in time for the World Cup and maybe you can send it to someone who won’t be able to make it to South Africa to experience the 2010 gees (spirit).

You already saw the photo of the day, now it is time for the message of the day.

Instead…

I love Recovering Lazyholic.

“Napkinds are so passe”, but wait – who needs a napkin when you can have an iPad? But wait… you did not book a flight to the US to buy one – or you just did not want to stand in that queue. Okay, now think iPad. “No plugs. No batteries. No charging. Always on. The perfect place to dump your brain.” No charging? Nope.

Introducing PixelPads.

Like Kermit the Frog says, “It’s not easy being green.” It’s even harder when your product is made of 99% paper. Fortunately, with a little research and a little more determination, we made it happen. Our products are created using vegetable inks, certified and recycled paper products, and lots of little recycle reminders to help keep PixelPads zero impact.

Oh! And each PixelPad comes with Sharpies! Super.

Quite unique little greeting cards by We Are Messengers. Mishy Lane did the styling and took the photos and I just love that they added coral to the mix. Favorite.

After my Fashionary post, I received a comment from Alan about UI Stencils. These are quite handy if you are into UI design for the web, iPhone and even the iPad.

I will admit that the Browser Sketch Pad caught my eye first. After that I noticed the column widths on the Stainless Steel Website Stencil Kit. Quite handy, but now I want these guys in Seattle to create more.

I heard about this little creation a while ago and then recently discovered the updated version.

Clever idea, because if you make a mistake you can erase it with an eraser aka “a rubber”. Only problem with that, what happens after a few weeks when the pencil starts fading due to smudges?

Either way, it looks pretty and it’s small. If you are interested to know how it works (in detail), they explain it perfect at Yanko Design and there is a video too.

There is something about a clean, crisp, black letter on a sheet of white paper.

Some of the best ideas start with pen and paper. Just look at how Gilles Belley brought his drawings and concepts to life.

Time to brush up on your German – or just your imagination.

green marker.

My plant died a slow death and I really need to add more green to Narry’s Hole. Maybe I can add some green with these Green Markers?
