I.D. Magazine R.I.P.

I was going through the daily blogs I review and came across that I.D. Magazine is over.  This was one of my favorite magazines to read again and again on the train to Manhattan.  Very sad to see this great magazine only on the web.  I will always have a very strong connection to printed tangible books and magazines instead of on the web.  R.I.P. International Design Magazine.

The Biomega Bike Company based out of Denmark designs great looking bikes!
Biomega’s Aesthetic Philosophy:  ”Our history of style & value is of Scandinavian heritage. However Scandinavian Design has in many cases become its own pastiche: Exaggerated, lifeless minimalism.

Ryan Schude Photography

I have been following Ryan Schude’s photography ever since I worked at a skate magazine in San Diego.  It is amazing to see his progression and creative mind expand in just a couple of years.  In a recent Digital Photo Pro Magazine Issue he said ““Photography saved me from the cubicle,” he says. “I realized I must have been nuts to keep suppressing what I really wanted to do.”  I … Read more

“Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. … Read more
