Light Projection Turns Plain Room into Geometric Maze - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon
If you ever wanted to turn one of your plain, all-white rooms into a crazy, awesome experience, just ask Bahar Yurukoglu. The artist has created an interesting installation where he puts simple, polygonal shapes made of acrylic glass tiles on walls and ceilings. He then hits those objects with projected rays of light.

Sky Garden House
I think one of the reasons that many are skeptical about environmental design is because they think its terribly complex and costly. It does take a bit more effort on the front end, but it's definitely not rocket science. This architecture by Guz Architects is a wonderfully developed minimalistic design with a curvilinear flare that really brings out the organic coverings. I'm most impressed with how design facilitates the needs of the plants and shrubs located throughout the house. See more at Guz Architects
A Media Manager Has Your Back
In the world of HDSLR technology, media management is a very important position. Every Elite Team member has held this position at some point during the untitled Navy Seal Movie to gain an understanding of HD image capture in a small footprint work-flow system and they all have jumped in head first! The unique skill set that my Elite Team brings is that they all have a film background and are comfortable with certain rituals that accompany being a motion picture film loader and 2nd assistant cameraman. These include: managing the truck; keeping track of the gear and specialty pieces of equipment; creating an inventory and log; assessing how many magazines you have to load and color coding it according to the stock; labeling the magazines with the date, job, film stock and amount loaded on the magazine itself; and writing a camera report with the same information.

Ten Anime Films You Should See Before You Die
One of the most surprising, and gratifying, things that has happened since I started my blog, Tim Maughan Books, a year or so ago is the positive feedback I’ve had for the anime reviews—especially from people I know are far from being massive fanboys like myself. It’s gratifying because its part of the reason I started writing them; to try and introduce the medium to people who had never really indulged in it all, at least not past perhaps watching Spirited Away with their kids. The problem is, once you’ve had your first taste, where do you go next? Type ‘anime’ into Google and the results are bewildering, and without a little bit of guidance and a quality filter finding something to watch can be a daunting task. Akira (1988) For many of us in the west, this is the one that started it all. Ghost in the Shell (1995) My Neighbor Totoro (1988) I’ve talked at length elsewhere about how personally important My Neighbour Totoro is to me, so here I’ll try not to gush too much. Porco Rosso (1992)

Temptation
Every so often an email lands in my inbox from perhaps the cruelest man I know. Chris from Welcome Beyond dangles dream designs in front of me and it is all I can do to stop myself from hocking everything I own, jumping a plane and escaping to the hand picked boutique vacation properties that litter the pages of their website. Chris has cruelly tempted me again with a Spanish beauty and oh the temptation! Alemanys 5 ...

How to Create a Photo Manipulation of a Flooded City Scene
In this tutorial, we will learn how to manipulate a simple photo into a flooding torrent of a scene. We'll use some relatively simple techniques to give this image a semi-realistic, stylized feel. Let's get started! Editor's note: This tutorial was originally published in July 2009. Video Tutorial Our video editor Gavin Steele has created this video tutorial to compliment this text + image tutorial. Step 1 With the main image opened, use the Clone Stamp tool to remove any unwanted entities, like the elderly couple walking. Step 2 Next you will want to cut around the edges of the roof tops so we can add in our stormy sky. Step 3 Open the Stormy Sky image and place it underneath your "backdrop" layer. Step 4 It doesn't look very nice does it? Then go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and use the settings shown below. Then go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and use these settings. Rename the layer to "Wave," and your image should now look like the one shown below. Step 5 Step 6
Rapping Paper
If you've never made some sort of joke about how the word 'wrapping' sounds exactly the same as the word 'rapping' then we're disappointed and/or convinced that you're lying. Just think of the endlessly hilarious possibilities. Okay, so we've gone blank at the moment but there are some we're sure. In fact, here's something we wished we'd have thought of first. Just in time for Christmas, Rapping Paper allows you to wrap your gifts in the lyrics of some iconic hip-hop songs, including tracks from Eminem, Run DMC and The Sugarhill Gang. You can impress your family, although perhaps not your gran, by picking some up here. Tags: Design
Amazing Architecture of Norway | Travel List Photo and Resorts
In 2005, Norway initiated a massive 15-year agenda to generate more tourism. The government turned to architects and designers to concept and build tourist routes and architectural rest stops and other property to enhance the experience of the stunning Norwegian landscape. The projects span from the southern town of Jaeren to the northern tip of Varenger. The ongoing project has been aptly named, The National Tourist Routes In Norway, and features an array of architects including Margrete Friis, Peter Zumthor, PUSHAK arkitekter, Code Arkitektur, Manthey Kula, Snøhetta AS, and Jensen and Skodvin to name a few. via
