Crazy use of compression artefacts. Has you wondering why the compression is fucked up before you realise it’s meant to be that way.

Thursday, February 19th, 2009more augmented reality
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009Came across this one recently but forgot to post it.
General Electrics new campaign about their new “Smartgrid” which is an overhaul/update of americas power grid and aims to get better at distributing alternative energy and anticipate power outages. Sounds fine to me.
Either way, it’s a beautifully produced site, which features some augmented reality (so you need a printer).
A different take on news design
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009NYTimes seems to be doing a lot of interesting things lately. One being opening up a search API for all the articles, another being this different layout for skimming the articles.
Their reference function is also pretty neat. Mark a word or a phrase…
Click the question mark and you’ll get a popup with a search for the word.

What the font? iPhone stylee

One more via Swissmiss … 
I have big news! What heFont, the ingenious font recognition app that I use on a regular basis is now available for the iPhone.
With the iPhone version of WhatTheFont you can use the phone’s built-in camera to photograph the text in question (or choose an existing image from your photo albums). The app allows you to crop the image, focusing on only the important parts before uploading. After confirming which characters are used in the image, the app provides a list of possible matching fonts. You can then either e-mail a link to a MyFonts page with more info on that font, or open it up in the iPhone’s built-in Safari web browser.

Nice take on making tea (but the sorapot is my favourite I think, should add a post with that one as well).
