Although I’m not completely sold on Leonardo Dicaprio as Gatsby, (I’ve always pictured him as a Jude Law or Christian Bale type) I can’t wait for this movie. Not only does the cinematography look fantastic, but the sound track has just been released and it’s amazeballs. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Here’s the latest trailer along with some snippets of the sound track, listed in full below.

Vine is the six second video app owned by Twitter. It is quickly becoming an internet craze, with users posting all kinds of quirky shorts. This is by far the best one I’ve seen. By Jackson Holland.

The Mobile Meme Machine

Here’s a little app I just ran across, put together by the good people over at House Industries. It’s called Photolettering. Not only have they made it easy to add text to an image, they’ve also made it look good. I’m so excited to start using this.

Winter is Coming

I have to admit, I’m a little bit of a nerd. Last summer I started reading the Game of Thrones books, and as a result, am a huge fan of the HBO series. This morning I ran across this poster series created by HBO for the upcoming season. Such beautiful art direction. March 31st can’t get here soon enough.

Portrait of Domestic Violence

shanziepants — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:43:32 +0000

Today the Times published a photographic view of domestic violence. It’s poignent and real. Some images may be hard to look at but it’s something that none of us should turn a blind eye to.

The good people over at B-Reel have done it again. They’ve created an exquisitely beautiful site, introducing the world to Google Glass. Check it out. If you want the chance to be a Google Glass beta texter, use hashtag #ifihadglass and tweet what you’d do with it.

Hand Drawn Type With a Twist

I guess this is a theme today – daily illustration projects.

Daily Dishonesty is a blog by New York designer Lauren Hom. She puts her own spin on hand drawn type by illustrating little white lies. Enjoy.

Windows of New York

Windows of New York is a project by graphic designer José Guizar. Such a simple idea and so beautifully executed. Check out José’s other work as well. I’m especially a fan of his Lucha Libre beer.
