Turn your junk into useful pieces of art
Jun 22, 2010 | Category: Environmental

I know I personally like making sculptures out of random objects, but these guys take this to another level by utilizing found/used objects to make fantastic, usable and functional things. Not only are these great looking creations, but they’re a great way to recycle and make something beautiful all at once.

For example, a light made entirely of soda tabs:

From light bulbs to toilet paper rolls, there’s surely a project in here that will catch your interest. Check it out!

A Day In The Life

specialblend-april24

Congratulations to the coordinators of Baltimore’s first “A Day In The Life” event being held at MICA’s Brown Center this Saturday, April 24, 2010. The goal is to bring professionals and students together for discussion on the layers of our industry. Those lucky enough to have pre-registered will have the choice of attending small sessions throughout the day–11 options in total–that range from the business of design, branding, typography and the green movement. Our very own Aaron Moore is a panelist in the afternoon session The Value of Great Design. We are proud to be a small part of the larger, growing design community of the greater-Baltimore area. If you can not attend, AIGA is hosting a Blend after party at Red Maple. If you are an attendee, please share with us next week your ideas from the conference.

Hot Jumbalaya!
Apr 16, 2010 | Category: Digitial

Our friends over at Fastspot have created an iPad app that is sure to please Scrabble-lovers and those suffering from ADHD alike. The multi-touch game is appropriately titled Jumbalaya. It is a fun word game where you can push, pull, play and reset kind of like an Etch-A-Sketch. There are two game modes, Survival and Quick Play and three themes, Wood, Earth and Ice. Not to mention it is beautiful and better priced than any board game I’ve seen in a while. Check out the full article in today’s business section of The Baltimore Sun. Congrats Fastspot!
