Aaand I just licked the screen. Flickr user insect54 has set up Autografik, a pool dedicated to graphic design applied to motor vehicles. With a focus on modernist corporate identities of the 60’s and 70’s. It’s all so gorgeous.

Icebergs Series by Vancouver photographer David Burdeny.
During 2007 and into the spring of 2008, I made several long journeys to the upper and lower extremes of our planet to photograph the shorelines, monolithic ice forms and landscapes of Greenland, Iceland and Antarctica. Most of these places are arduous to reach, beyond the borders of domestic transportation routes, accessible only by small aircraft or boat. All are endangered to some extent – threatened by tourism, climate change, industry and the hunt for oil.
The photo pictured at top, Iceberg 01, Greenland, 2007, helped win Burdeny the title of IPA Nature Photographer of the Year, 2008. Scroll to the second half of the Young Gallery page to see his equally surreal Shorelines Series, made along the shorelines of Japan, Northern France, and the Pacific Northwest.

Fantastic retro International Year of Astronomy 2009 Posters by Simon Page.
Apparently, what started as Page’s personal project got the attention of the IYA2009 and ended up becoming official promotional work for the organization. Well played!

TimeTuner is the sharp and savvy alarm clock radio iPhone app by Ammunition Group and DreamSurface. Wake up to classy alarm tones, iPod tracks, or one of 14,000 international streaming radio stations; all within an elegant Dieter Ramsesque interface.
Certainly, the most fleshed out and beautiful app I’ve seen in this category. Love it.
Digging this photo by Octavian Dogariu.
Frozen In Time, Switzerland is an absolutely gorgeous project by roving photographer Nathalie Daoust. These surreal, dreamlike images began as black and white photographs, taken with a pinhole camera, then hand-colored.
In this altered state of reality, stillness and silence permeate each image, each is a moment frozen in time. Here memory and introspection create a labyrinth of illusion, mystery and fantasy. Although the images are part of a series, each is unique and non-sequential. The narrative that evolves throughout the works is a personal one, a journey, steeped in self-scrutiny, towards coming to terms with one’s identity through life experiences, loss and sorrow as well as pleasure.
The series won grand prize in the 2009 Banff Mountain Photography Competition. Serko photographer Matthieu Paley was another participant.
