inspiration: typewritter sculptures

Tam Cao — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 23:57:51 +0000

I love it when someone find the creativity to take antique objects that are not around much anymore and turn them into a great work of art. Thats exactly what Jeremy Mayer did with typewriters. He disassemble them and then reassemble them back into different sculptures. I happened to stumble upon this through wired.com and thought that it was amazing.

He has a lot more pictures at his website.

Fanta Before and After

I use to hate Fanta.. maybe its because of those horrible fanta commercials on tv.. you know the one that goes something like “Want a Fanta dont you want a wanta fanta“.. then it repeats it like a gazillion times.

but right now Im diggin the new fanta look that was designed by Office, a design studio in San Francisco. The new design is not too much different from the old one, however it gives it a much “fresh” feel to the brand. It makes me want to go drink some orange soda.

From what I’ve read, it seems like the new identity hasn’t been implement in the U.S. yet. Hopefully I’ll see them around the grocery shelf soon.
