(CBS) - We hit on the subject of food/cooking in our last post with an expert butcher displaying how to take a pig apart. So let's stick with the theme, but switch gears a little, and focus on the tools of the trade: knives! Check out this video with an expert knife maker talking about his craft. Fascinating, right?

Tree of Life
Das ‘Tree of Life’ Poster sieht von weitem wie ein Querschnitt eines Baumstammes aus. Bei genauerem Hinsehen erkennt man jedoch, dass es sich bei den schwarzen Kreisen nicht um Holzringe, sondern um hunderte verschiedene Silhouetten von Tieren handelt.

The Secret Law of Page Harmony
“A method to produce the perfect book.” The perfect book. This is how designer-genius Jan Tschichold described this system. Not the ok book, nor the pretty good book, but the perfect book. This method existed long before the computer, the printing press and even a defined measuring unit.
What makes a design look coordinated, planned and professional? The answer is: ‘color’ . Not every project needs bland corporate blue to look professional. Planning color means creating a framework that describes which colors to use and how to use them. Color is the slipperiest design element.
