Anime-style photosession for FHM’s China distribution by Chen Zhun, very entertaining and innovative photography although some rather iffy photoshopping here and there.

good engineering, reliable performance, robust construction. They are icons of design that have not only shaped global conflicts but also our collective aesthetic sensibilities through countless films, TV shows and news images.
The Death Machines paper kits bring the contradictory experience of weapons into the home; admirably designed and aesthetically fascinating and simultaneously terrifyingly in their lethality. Each handmade part becomes a medium for the maker’s reaction to the subject.

Some amazing illustration by Alex Trochut, who also owns possible the most usable 100% flash site I have seen (ever!).
A pretty simple premise: designers, photographers, generally creative types can all email an image and have it posted on the site. The constraint: the image must be taken at exactly 10:15am.
Amazing to see what people see at the same time of day, everyday.

Inspirational poster design from Change The Thought.
This is quite fun, although the video is rather poorly angled, lit and shot. It is a kinetic sculpture entitled ‘Rotapult’ by Brad Litwin which rotates a cup and thrower and throws a little ball on one side of the rotation to catch it on the other. Basic yet strangely compelling.
