Facebook “Like” Stamp

Anibe — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 18:13:05 +0000

As if it wasn’t enough that everything online these days is integrated with Facebook, some clever designers at Nation studios have created stamps with the now ubiquitous “Like” symbol. Pictures below:

More pictures and how to buy can be found here. I may just get one myself, however I might start compulsively stamping on anything I find! Just like we do on Facebook.

Facebook Experiment: Hiding Behind the Wall

In between working yesterday on one my my projects, an idea came into my mind to be creative with my Facebook profile picture. I really just wanted to change it to something else but instead of just the same boring photo of me, I thought ‘why don’t I create an illusion of being behind the wall?’ After about 10mins in Photoshop, the results can be seen below:

I will post a Photoshop tutorial of how I did it in the near future.

An Innovative Redesign of the Plug

It’s amazing that it has taken about 63 years for the design of the UK electric plug to be so radically improved but that is just what a student of the Royal College of Arts has done. Min-Kyu Choi showcased his design at the college’s graduate show and seems to have been a deserved “show-stopper”. The main attraction to this design I believe is how it manages to compress the plug into a very sleek and compact component without losing any functionality. When folded, the plug measures as just 10mm in width. To unfold it, the two live pins swivel 90 degrees, and the plastic surround folds back around the pins so the face of the plug looks the same as a standard UK plug. Perhaps even more brilliant is Choi’s expansion of the idea into another pleasant looking and very practically multi-plug adaptor. More pictures follow. You can also read more about this from Icon Eye magazine where I first saw it.
