Design we Love :: Turntable Clocks
I’ve always been a big fan of simple design that can transform an object by reformatting its original function.
Films We Love :: Cl!ck – A Lego Short Film
For many who have been following our blog, you may have noticed we’ve been on a bit of a stop-motion kick. I can’t tell you how amazed we’ve been lately with the level of stop-motion films popping up all over the net.
Commercials We Love :: Top Digital – What Sound Can Do
Our sense of sound is one of our strongest in terms of discerning situations that can be either life threatening or as soothing a gentle tide. After a while, it’s also one we can easily take for granted. That is until a wickedly funny commercial for Top Digital (Italy) reminds us of the fact that every sound tells a story.
