What if things weren't what they seemed or if natural was cool. These are some things that I like today.


Photo Printing on Leaves


















Company: Grand Illusions

What is it: Print lasting portraits on leaves in a process similar to printing real photos

Bona Fide: Imagine leaves reigning down on you with moving images on them of a football player throwing a touchdown or a liquor bottle swigging from side to side with a link to the URL. Effective, bio-degradable and unique

Converse Russia

Company: Converse

What is it: A fun and worthwhile journey of Converse Russia’s new website

Bona Fide: Great imagery and fun to explore

What If Google and Yahoo Switched Designers?

Company: GoogleWatch

What is it: What the ultra clean Google user interface might look like if they did things the Yahoo way

Bona Fide: Gives you an idea of how Google really is a "portal," and how well all its apps fit together into a more work-oriented Yahoo start page.

Self-Cleaning Sportswear

Company: Technovelgy

What is it: Self-cleaning fabric

Bona Fide: The same technology, created by scientists working for the U.S. Air Force, has already been used to create t-shirts and underwear that can be worn hygenically for weeks without washing

Music in the Rain - DAP Umbrella

Company: DAP umbrella

What is it: an umbrella with embedded speakers

Bona Fide: Another example of a trend towards presenting ways to listen to personal music that aren’t too intrusive, without having to plug in headphones

Romantize the Mundane

There is something to be said about brands that take the direct approach when describing their pruduct's function. I really like how Hind writes about how their product keep you cool under pressure.
