The Struggle to Right Oneself [Kerry Skarbakka]

Fern — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 09:44:03 +0000

The name of this series, The Struggle to Right Oneself, hits me deep in my chest.

“Beyond the basic laws that govern and maintain our equilibrium, we live in a world that constantly tests our stability in various other forms.”
- Kerry Skarbakka

This particular image has more of a feeling of intentionality than the others, which to me, indicates more of the choice that we have in how we respond to the tests we encounter.

I do have a soft spot for light, contrast and texture. Gorgeous.

Ostrich – Hide and Seek by Lplusl from Belgium

Ostrich head probability map? Fun sculpture at the Jing’an Sculpture Park. Made me laugh!

I want to hold you book cover [Carlo Giovani]

This book cover is actually entirely digital, which bums me out a little because I would love to track down the nonexistent original and run my fingers over it. Texture and layers, how I love thee!

The colors are fantastic, the textures of the papers are fantastic, the edges and patterns created within each layer are fantastic, and yes, the typography… mmmm! faantastic!

Day Without Shoes [John Mark Herskind]

Fern — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:04:04 +0000

This is mouthwateringly gorgeous.

I love how it melds an organic hand-drawn feel with a crisp digital finish, and how the muscles weave in multiple tones below the skin. (I could do without the 2 circles, but I didn’t even notice this quibble until I was already drawn in and drooling!)

Created by John Mark Herskind to raise awareness for TOMS’s A Day Without Shoes.

Look at this gorgeousness!

Oh how that S nestles and curls within the B!

Look at the delicious negative space within! *Happy sigh*

Thought Bubble -> Cloud -> Puddle

Fern — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 02:54:01 +0000

This is thoroughly charming. My thought bubbles frequently do strange things, but never quite like this. But the next time they envelop my head, I’m making them melt into a puddle at my feet that I can jump and splash in!

Terri Movie Poster [Mojo]

Fern — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 05:23:52 +0000

This movie poster literally made me squeak “ooh ooh ooh!” Look at the movie title and how it’s integrated into the scene as a table! I love how the poster feels layered but flat at the same time.

A story. [Jeannette Woitzik]

Fern — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:14:58 +0000

It’s a strange combination of nostalgia, earthiness, and whimsy. Time stands still. I am very much drawn in.

I am future man! [Little Big Details]

Fern — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:31:50 +0000

I’m a fan of the blog Little Big Details, a collection of the wonderful little considerate details in user interface design that make a big difference.

Here’s one humorous detail on a Yahoo sign up form…

Instead of an ugly DENIED! statement, you get a little jocular question… they might have to change this when time travel is invented. (Which, recent research has shown is impossible. Sadness.)

But Yahoo! has a sense of humor! Who knew?
