When a designer working on a tech company landing page sees a great design made by someone who actually knows what they are doing, tries to copy it, and makes it ten times worse. Classic.
I can guarantee that whoever did https://air.inc/ saw http://malaproject.com/ by Jingqi Fan ( last year), tried to copy the vibe without understanding it, and ended up with the backwards result.

http://rovers.land/ is a website by Laurent Del Rey that lets you follow NASA’s Curiosity rover across Gale Crater, using every image it has taken since landing in 2012.
The whole experience is built on NASA’s public Curiosity imagery published on their website. As I have said before, I love projects where someone takes publicly available information and builds a new (and better) wrapper around it.

U. S. patent drawing for a toilet paper roll, issued to Seth Wheeler of Albany, New York, as Patent No. 465,588 on December 22, 1891.
It’s funny how this image resurfaced online in recent years as “proof” to the over vs. under debate, meaning which side of the toilet paper should face the wall.

https://studiodrift.com/work/materialism-2/ by DRIFT is an ongoing research project that takes everyday “made objects” and deconstructs them back into their raw materials. Those materials are then reshaped into clean geometric blocks of color and arranged into a single composition. The point is to make material consumption visible again.

I was going through some old hard drives the other day and came across a time capsule: a folder full of videos.
They’re from April 2020, exactly six years ago! The world had just come to a halt due to COVID. I was cycling through a completely deserted New York City every other day, in awe of how empty it was. One day I took my DJI Pocket camera and filmed one of those rides.
The city was nearly empty, with only occasional people passing by. Quiet in a way I had never experienced before. Storefronts closed. It all felt surreal, especially considering how busy, loud, and overcrowded the city normally is. The most striking part is seeing Times Square in Midtown Manhattan completely deserted.
I put the footage together into this short video, though I’m not sure it can fully communicate what April 2020 actually felt like. Video is also on https://youtu.be/LGizvDEUQ1A.

An interview is out today on https://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/anton-repponen-people-look-at-art-or-art-looks-at-people-photography-project-180326 about People Look at Art or Art Looks at People. It gets into a part of my process that matters a lot to me: looking back through the archive, recognizing patterns, and realizing a project was there, I just didn't see it.

Obsessed with the work by https://guyyanai.tumblr.com/.
I love the colors, they are so nuanced and specific. I love how the thick strokes still carry so much emotion and detail. And that signature pink strip at the bottom of each painting is perfect.
I saw his show at a gallery in New York back in 2019. Recently I came across my own photos from the exhibit, Googled him, and spent an hour scrolling through his Tumblr.

Another example of bridging physical with digital.
Apple did not invent the sleep indicator with the iBook G3 in 1999, earlier PowerBooks already had one. But the iBook gave it a different quality. Instead of a hard mechanical blink, the light slowly pulsed, letting you know that even though the laptop looked off, it was still alive, just asleep.
Over the years the position, color and design of the indicator changed, but one thing stayed the same: the rhythm. Since the laptop was “sleeping,” the animation was designed to feel like breathing, close to the tempo of a resting human body 😮💨. That is probably why it came across as so human, comforting, and strangely easy to relate to. Apple even https://patents.google.com/patent/US6658577B2/en it.
This light has been gone for a long time now, and I still kind of miss it.

Website of the week. Don’t even ask me how I found it.
http://arngren.net/ is a real Norwegian online shop that sells a chaotic mix of products: electronics, RC stuff, scooters and e-bikes, small “gadgets,” lighting, and more.
Everything about it is amazing! Whoever designed it never got the memo on how the web is supposed to look and behave, and somehow got it right. It feels honest. I spent ten times more time on this site clicking on random stuff than on anything else I visited this week, and I don’t even speak Norwegian.
If you think it is crazy, try doing something like this. This shit is so hard that 99% of you won’t be able to get even close.

I have seen A LOT of different interaction models on the web and conceptual ways of navigating through content. But I have never seen this.
Designer Jacob Hoving has a page titled https://jacobhoving.com/collection.html on his website dedicated to his concepts and sketches. Each image has a specific size in pixels, and the way you navigate to it is by resizing your browser window until you match the highlighted screen dimensions that correspond to that image 🤯
Love it!

Speaking of my fascination with faces and “digital anthropomorphizing” (I just made that term up).
Back in 2019 a friend of mine, French developer https://aristidebenoist.com/, reached out to several designers, including me, to design his portfolio. Many of the designers he contacted I know personally, like Claudio Guglieri and Brijan Powell, who I have worked with in the past.
Ari’s idea was that every time a user visited his website, the portfolio would look totally different, designed by different people he knows, while the content would obviously stay the same.
That never worked out. But I know other designers did create versions, and we even shared what we all made. I never shared mine because I totally forgot about it. I designed this version for Ari in two evenings, and I obviously wanted to give it a “face” even back then. Looking at it now, almost nine years later, I still think it looks cool.
