Arty porn magazines celebrates the human form in a modern, design-led way, artistically-intellectually inclined context, arguing with the culture of sameness, defying convention, sexualising the intellectuals and celebrating woman into triumph.

Another tale of woe with the iPhone 6
Yes, like any competitive sport, you can win a critique. Now maybe you’re thinking “finally, I get to make those designers cry”. Unfortunately, this isn’t for you. Instead you win a critique by gaining valuable insights that allow you to improve toward a goal. So I’m writing this…
Design teams can be equals — or leaders — in developing a vision and sketching a product roadmap. Like most Design Strategists, I don’t see Designers as pixel-pushers and I write from my experience of working on teams building consumer-facing and enterprise…
Coming from a soon-to-be Industrial Designer, I guess it must come across as weird question to ask, but BELIEVE ME when I tell you this is something I’ve asked myself more than once (and THAT is quite an understatement).

We live in fear of releasing something that isn’t perfect, or fully formed. This fear leads us to half finishing projects or even spending far too long deciding what to write next on Medium. Instead, just f*cking ship it.
Remember studying for the Driver’s Ed test? If you don’t, then you’re probably a native of a big coastal city who grew up with plentiful, reliable public transit; in which case, must be nice.

Reading the language of new media some time ago I love how it recalls a time when the video format hadn’t congealed yet. Video was something full of experimentation. The book draws focus to where new media work is now — all this experimentation with tech and art, and that that there…
As you might have gathered from my Twitter feed, I’m in London right now to attend MonkiGras, an annual conference about software, craft, and experiences, but some would call it a spiritual retreat for hackers.

Why, in the blue fuck, do we have 2 volume controls for EVERYTHING we listen to? Youtube has volume control, Spotify has volume control, Netflix, Hulu, SoundCloud, even native fucking apps have their own INDEPENDENT volume controls in addition to the volume controls that are already a part of…

There are many devices that kids may ‘program’ to be able to create and design what they imagine. I believe this allows them to start believing to think outside the box and to be creative and dream big. My father was a freelance programmer on his side job and I watched as his dream came true when I was very young. This made me who I am today……

Sometimes it is okay and probably preferable to design without a goal in mind. This is the point where I consider myself doing ‘creative’ work. Design is thinking, thinking about how it…
I had to do some shopping, so I’ve visited the italian Adidas website and selected these five new sneakers from Adidas.

All I’m saying is have you ever seen president Trump and the Penguin at the same party? I mean they’re both super rich, slightly eccentric, tiny slightly off hands, more than a little angry at times. I forgot to add impulse control seems to be lacking as well. I think it’s a close match. I mean the top hat is the only thing that is throwing me off…
