Panasonic Headphone Packaging
So perfectly simple that no one thought of it until now! [via Gizmodo]
This Makes Me Sad — Play to Gray
I just say this on my friend Sean’s blog: Now (top) and then (bottom) shot of the DeSalvio playground, showing the Play mural painted over after the city deemed it to be graffiti. [via Everything Deamplified]
Target Harlem
It’s nothing new that Target has great ads, but I thought it was worth mentioning how much I have been enjoying their New York themed ad campaign for their new store that just opened in Harlem. The campaign was done by Mother and the illustrations are by Bill Brown (who has only been to Harlem once or twice, interesting story here). Mother also fully wrapped subway cars — which look...
Cats During Emergencies
So true! Although, I do wish I was out on the beach anyway, it is sooo hot in NYC! Also if we don’t survive the heatwave, this is what you see when you die.
8th Continent Soy Milk
While perusing the milk selection at my grocery store last night, these wonderfully playful milk cartons popped out. It appears that 8th Continent re-branded and I love it (even if I am attempting to cut down on my soy consumption)!
PBR is Classy & Expensive in China

CV Dazzle

Adam has developed warpaint like make-up that resists face recognition technology. CV Dazzle (or computer vision camouflage) has recently gotten a fair amount a press. You can learn more on his blog and I think this Reuters video does a great job...
Robyn Is Killing Me
For some reason Robyn (the 90’s Swedish pop-star) keeps popping into my life lately. Her new single “Dancing On My Own” made it onto this week’s NY Mag Approval Matrix and as I was just searching around for some web design inspiration I came across this 3/D interactive video with Twitter integration for her song “Don’t F**ing Tell Me What To Do.” The first...
Catalog Living
My friend Danielle sent me a link to the blog Catalog Living the other day. It’s kinda amazing — it makes fun of over-styled catalog photos. Genius.
Oil Spill Themed New Yorker Cover
The current issue of The New Yorker has a powerful M.C. Escher inspired oil spill themed cover “After Escher: Gulf Sky and Water”, illustrated by Bob Staake.
