One Dead Tree (20 photos) - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon It's a familiar tale you hear all the time. What starts out as an accident turns into something amazing. So it was for Kevin Day, a graphic designer who's created a beautiful and moving story about one dead tree. For over five years now, Day has been photographing the same tree on different days, through different seasons and in different lighting conditions. His most popular shot was taken one very early morning on August 18, 2005. He reminisces, it was "when the sun rose directly behind the tree from my best viewpoint and the early morning mist lingered and the dissipated at just the right moment, I couldn't take shots quick enough, the light was changing by the second and I could feel myself actually getting emotional and excited by taking photos of a dead tree!" The unretouched photo, with the sun peeking through the tree's core, became his inspiration. Another one of his most popular photos he calls African Sunset. See the full set at Flickr. Kevin Day

How Cereal Boxes Have Changed Over Time It’s pretty crazy to see how graphic design shifts ever over time. From typography to the actual iconic images on our favorite cereals, there seems to be a pattern in advertising where they get bigger and bolder over time. All I know is cereal mascots will forever be engrained in my sugary sweet memory.

Rare and Precious Moments of Animal Life How interesting can animal life be is something which we can only guess. By looking these amazing photographs it seems that they have very funny and precious moments. Would you like to be monkey, or elephant, or maybe cat sometimes? Don’t worry if you do because this has happened all of us at least ones, for now enjoy these rare photos! Disney Princesses In Accurate Period Costume These are very beautiful drawings! Although I am sad to see Belle looking so unlike herself. On a different note: I’d love to know what the reference was for the period costuming for each Princess. Given what I know about the stories, a lot of these seem a little inaccurate time period wise (I have no idea about the costumes other than that they look gorgeous): - As far as I know, the German “Snow White” was published in 1812 with the rest of the Grimm’s collected works; even her supposed ‘real’ influence lived in the 18th century. - In reference to another comment: women of the Powhatan nation usually wore kneelength skirts, but oftentimes did not wear shirts at all (although higher status women did use deerskin to cover up, so Pocahontas may have done so too) . -Cinderella is a much much older story than the 1860′s; even the Perrault version, upon which the Disney movie was based, dates back to the late 17th century. Once again though, great illustrations!
