L.A. based photographer Andrew Hall has a pretty amazing long exposure photo collection, which he’s dubbed “Liquid in Motion.”  They’re technically simple but beautiful in execution. You can check out the whole series by clicking here.

I love this poster called “Untranslatable Words” by Irish illustrator Fuchsia Macaree. Untranslatable words are pretty much self-explanatory: they are the type of words that don’t necessarily translate directly into English or perhaps require a degree of cultural understanding to truly get their meaning. Fuchsia did a fantastic job bringing all of these great words to life - each one rendered with beautiful colors and fun and playful imagery. My favorite in the one I included here for the Scottish word “Tartle.”

Photographer Billy Kidd took these amazing still life images of dying flowers. There’s something mysterious and beautiful about these. I love how the bold colors of the flower are framed by decaying blackness.

Artist Ismael Sanchez created a vinyl cover painted by speakers moving ink. He used an old amplifier, ink, a piece of foam core and ghinzu’s album ‘blow’ to create the visualization.

Artist Kiel Johnson created a tiny paper city he calls “Paper Metropolis” from chipboards and various other paper pieces. These cities are fully realized with stadiums, power lines and real-life places like Time Square. Paper, to Kiel, is more than just something you can write on or recycle to make more paper. Paper is the building block of creativity. You can check out more photos and hear Kiel’s story here. 

I just downloaded this new weather app called Solar, a hyper-sensorial, interaction display of the day’s weather. The design is simple and all of the information you need is laid out in white over a beautiful gradient that does different things based on the weather conditions. For rain the app responds appropriately, rain drops and lightning flashes on the screen. Also, when you drag your finger up towards the top fo your screen you’ll get a 24 hour forecast, minute by minute and hour by hour. 

I’m totally digging this set of photos by photographer Simon Davidson.

This collection is called “Over on Nowness” which showcases muscle cars burning out. The images are stunningly beautiful despite the macho description; the light on the cars makes these photos feel pretty incredible. Davidson started in fashion photography and switched to document the culture surrounding the V8 Supercar, and shot all over Australia during competitions featuring the customized vehicle. Says Davidson:

“With any extreme sport there is a moment of visual harmony when all the ingredients align in equilibrium. Photography has the power to reveal the beautiful frozen in fractions of a second.”

I couldn’t agree with him more. 

The NASA logo of today—the “meatball”— served as the casual face of NASA since 1959. At the beginning, the logo was linked to the army. It was about competition and power. But now space discovery is not about competition anymore or ‘being the first out there - it’s about the future of mankind.

This reimagined logo sends an entirely different message from both NASA and America. Rather than conveying authority or eliciting idolization, it’s actually after the complete opposite. By obscuring part of the logo itself, we’re reminded that NASA is about exploring the unknown at the most intrinsic level. It’s a tacit acknowledgement of a lack of knowledge, with the slightest inspirational peek at things to come.

Sadly, NASA passed on the logo. Regardless the design and concept is beautiful. It’s a perfect riff on itself, and even on the greater nature of how logos are meant to be seen.

This little black pug is taking the internet by storm. It was submitted to Reddit by user All8Inches on June 6, and within 24 hours, the crazy-faced pup had blown up as a fully-accredited Internet meme: “Berks Dog.” It was subsequently highlighted on the Tumblr radar, and the post has accumulated more than 38,000 notes within the last day.

What’s your take on Berks Dog? Hilarious? Lame?
