Decode by ze amazing Karsten Schmidt.
Second that! Just built a small tabletop studio environment at home and which leads me to build all graphic and coding stuff in my office 20min. away since my desk now operates as photo studio prop. I’d never thought I’d feel that naked without a desk…
jarredbishop: My idea of a holiday would be taking some time off to build a desk like this.

The portfolio of Nora Rose Travis sure is beautiful but there is one work in there she rather shouldn’t have done. As you can clearly see the bing logotype has a lot that should have been worked on before launching. There are a lot of nasty path joints left uncleaned, the whole logo was left optically uncorrected. You can clearly see how this was constructed by simple distorted shapes, finally merged to be sent off to some marketing guys not knowing what they’re actually doing.
(Judging by her portfolio, she doesn’t seem to be experienced in type design either. There are some things that should be left to pros. But maybe there wasn’t any money/sophisticated understanding of typography left for pros either… Oh, I wouldn’t believe that this should have anything to do with forcing paths into good screen rendering…)
Anthony Thomas, fashion designer with a great portfolio layout. But why in Flash?!
…but I’m just listening to NIN’s the slip and I can’t believe the insane quality. Watching the videos I always assumed that a lot of sound engineering would get left behind. But the MP3s (the lowest quality files made available) do carry a lot of what NIN really sounds like.

While I’d never use this designwise (from a designers point of view jagging your body text on the left side will always produce bad reading experience - at least in western cultures) I think it’s a very interesting idea.
I’ve been working on a new project over the past four nights after mulling the idea around in my head for a while.
Have you ever needed or wanted to wrap text around an image in HTML but were disappointed that your text was forced to wrap to the rectangular shape of the image’s bounding box - as opposed to the actual contents of the image?
Have you heard of the method of Sliced and Diced Sandbags, but were reluctant to use a server-side script to accomplish something that really belongs on the browser?
Yes? Awesome! No? That’s ok too… I’d like to introduce my new project: jQSlickWrap. It’s a plugin to the jQuery framework, which allows you to easily wrap text around irregularly-shaped images on the browser.
Check it out at its home page, here. If you feel like contributing to the project, you can find it on Google Code
