The video within it is wildly entertaining as well, which I’ve linked here below for the sake of convenience – the explanation Read more…
https://alexanderklopping.medium.com/an-updated-daily-front-page-of-the-new-york-times-as-artwork-on-your-wall-3b28c3261478 A super interesting project that I found while browsing through my morning newsletters, and I thought it was a super interesting idea I’d love to try in the future. It also challenges what we think of as “art” that we can hang in our living spaces; why not a Read more…
https://www.fastcompany.com/90573026/inside-the-wild-design-of-the-playstation-5?ref=sidebar Was an interesting piece that gave readers a peek into the inspiration behind the design of the PS5 as well as the reasons for why it was designed the way it was; I personally find it way more aesthetic than the Xbox as well, so I think that it’s Read more…
https://kottke.org/20/11/norways-beautiful-new-passports?ref=sidebar Just a random article I stumbled upon, but I thought it was worth noting how aesthetic the passports really are, haha.
