Wario Land destroys YouTube!

Although it looks like just a normal YouTube video page, this new Wario Land Experience Wii ad on YouTube is a whole page takeover. I usually hate whole page takeovers and persistent overlay’s, but this Wario Land ad is one of the cooler ones I’ve seen. After checking it out for the first time, be [...]

Shooting the Highline Design Book Release Party

Last week I took photos and volunteered at the Friends of the Highline Design Book Release Party. The party was actually underneath the Highline, and featured a great band, food and drinks. The new book, “Designing the Highline” showcases the Highlines’s design from Gansevoort to 30th street. I haven’t been up on that section of [...]

Visual Magnetic Fields - Magnetic Movie

Coolest video/cg I’ve seen this week. With a combination of science and 3d Animation, Scientists from NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory made this nifty movie which brings to life complex magnetic fields. Take a look and read the back story.

Design Situation - Apt in Box & Bungies Shelves

Apartment in a Box
A whole (small) apartment’s worth of furniture - crammed into a box transportable by two people. Sounds perfect for NYC. The box includes desk, bookshelves, chairs, even a full sized bed, all packed in there. I think the designers, Marcel Krings and Sebastian Mühlhäuser from Casulo have definitely one-upped and destroyed [...]

Designing a blog: What’s it take?

The Jeffzilla blog is new. Yes, I’ve had this domain for a number of years, and yes, its been used for other projects, etc (and it still is), but this is the first real time there’s been a blog on it. Designing and implementing a new blog can either be quick and simple, or a [...]
