We all want watches that are stylishly designed but we still need them to function properly. Let me introduce the
Mutewatch ($259), a simple and intuitive watch that comes in three different colors. Just by tapping the flat surface the touch screen becomes active and lights up, then from there swipe through the functions - clock, alarm and timer.
You can set the time for your alarm by tapping
directly on the digits — tap on the top of the digit for a higher number
or on the bottom of the digit for a lower one. When you want to erase an alarm, simply pinch the touch screen. It's that simple. The Mutewatch also features a built-in motion
sensor that registers your movement and automatically adjusts the
strength of the vibrations for your notifications. So whether you're sleeping, or on stage giving
a presentation the Mutewatch will keep you
up to date.
I couldn't resist in sharing what the cast of Zelda would look like if they were hipsters. As you can see no hipster can be complete without the PBR or in Zelda's world, "
Lon Lon Milk". The one of Ganon is by far one of my favorites cause gingers rock! Then you have Princess Zelda smoking up some American Spirits while rocking out with her stylish headband. Man, you've got to love Hipsters! The artist behind these illustrations is Dan Jones or on Deviant Art

Tim Wan is the creator of the
Predictions Calendar Series. He states, "It's a series that interprets the definition of fakery by tampering with true events; placing them outside their original context to mislead, trigger nostalgia, and remind people of past events". It was such a success that it was awarded membership to
International l Society of Typographic Designers. Not bad for someone who just graduated.
I personally find these calendars to be a great example of good design from the color palette choices to the layout and typography used in the design of these calendars. To bad these are not for sale. If they were they would be hanging in my house right now.

Texas photographer
Ignacio Torres has created some intriguing animated photography in his series called, Stellar. He began the project from a theory that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death. Below is an explanation from Ignacio on his project:
I created imagery that showcased this cosmic birth through the use of dust and reflective confetti to create galaxies. The models organic bodily expressions as they are frozen in time between the particles suggest their celestial creation. In addition, space and time is heightened by the use of three-dimensional animated gifs. Their movement serves as a visual metaphor to the spatial link we share with stars as well as their separateness through time.
I only put a small collection from this series on

Carbon Design Group has come up with a new way in which to tackle the multitude of TV functions in their concept
Carbon Toggle remote. The challenge was to take a complex array of devices and uses, and distill them down into one, flexible, multimode device. The core of the Toggle is a simple touchpad, much like you might find on a laptop. This capacitive surface is printed with images, characters, and icons. The different modes are revealed by the use of a simple, grid-patterned mask. When the base and mask are aligned, Toggle is off and its logo is visible. A simple shift up, down, left or right, exposes a new interface and activates the corresponding mode —Type, Move, Surf or Play. It's actually quite an innovative design and could have some serious functionality in today's market of remote controls. I will be keeping my eyes out for this product to hit the market.
I found a
black and white clock with a minimal design and I want one. It's currently is just a concept but I could see this product becoming a reality. One because of the design and two because of the simplicity and three because people love clocks. Each figure in this clock set has a self-contained power supply and independent control, it can be fixed to any surface autonomously. Their is also a light sensor that will switch the clock to an invert mode: the figures are white in the dark time of the day and black at the daytime.
