Do Nothing For 2 Minutes

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

2 minutes doesn’t seem like a lot of time. But, if you take the time to savor each second it feels surprisingly long. In the world of faster, more, and now…I found the site Do Nothing For Two Minutes quite enjoyable. The site simply asks that you do nothing other than listen to crashing ocean waves for 2 minutes.  I’ll admit I did not pass the test the first time. But, that was only because I was trying to turn up the volume on my computer.

How will you use your two minutes?  Perhaps you’ll use the two minutes to think of about your next project to make. Or perhaps you’ll listen to the waves and transport yourself to another life.

The newest work from EveryGuyed, in collaboration with Suitored and Moxy Creative House, is a collection of movies moments explained by their signature drinks.

Gorgeous Packaging for Society 27

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

I suppose the sneakers from Society 27 should be the story here, but for me it’s all about this gorgeous packaging, since the shoes is something normally see in places like ShoeAdviser site online. I’m a sucker for wood. What can I say. No doubt this isn’t the cheapest nor the most environmentally form of packaging I’ve ever seen produced. But, man….it sure is beautiful to look at.

So You Need A Typeface poster

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

Unlike my colleague here at Fancy Seeing You Here…fonts are not my specialty. Truth is, I’m always looking for a little guidance when it comes to them, so when I saw this poster on Scribbleoneverything.com for $22….I jumped on it.

lighting lovelies

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

Here are a few unique lighting options that caught my eye recently:

Michelle James’ globe chandeliers. I want this…just saying. I love the modern look combined with the vintage glass light fixtures. (via Remodelista)

Modern lighting by Mischer’Traxler. These would be great in a studio space. (via dezeen)

Original BTC lighting. It’s all beautiful but I thought these were especially unique. (via elements of style)

the wizarding world of harry potter

Monday, January 10th, 2011

Santa brought my family a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is where I was last week. We had such blast at Universal Studios and I was blown away with all the details of the Harry Potter section of the park; everything from the rides, the buildings, the costumes, the food/drinks—it all gave the feeling that you were in Harry Potter’s world. Even my dad, who is not a fan, was impressed. From a designer’s perspective the signage and packaging was gorgeous and seemed very authentic. Some of my favorite things were drinking Butterbeer, going inside shops like Zonko’s, Honeyduke’s and Ollivanders and riding the Dragon Challenge rollercoaster. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

P.S. If you are headed to the park anytime soon, message me and I’ll give you some tips on what to do first, etc. because boy is it crowded!
