Geometry Daily
Tumblr blog by designer @tilman who creates a geometric composition everyday:
Why are you doing this?
I love it. I get a serious flow when I draw simple shapes, combine them and experiment until they start to “sing”. I’m a designer with all my heart. It’s an experiment. A journey into a world of possibilities.
Also I am currently taking a year off of “normal” agency design work. Until September 2012 I stay at home and look after my two little kids while my wife returned to her full-time job. Doing this graphics project besides my dad duties will keep me on my designer’s toes.Why geometry?
I love geometry. Lines, curves, rectangles, circles, triangles are a simplification of our real world but also their building blocks. Geometry, like physics or mathematics, defines how our world is constructed. I find endless beauty in this construction. I see god in there.You can see more and follow the blog here

ioNoi
A blog that looks at various pieces of visual communication works from various times, and places items together with a resounding connection without commentary:
With this new layout of the blog, by focusing on the immediacy of images my goal is to convey the relationship between me and us, between things and their universe of reference. People and things are born from other people and other things.
Seeking connections - often unplanned and undeclared - helps pave the way to an approach to inclusive and cross-cutting knowledge. History does not unfold in separate compartments but is at once cause and effect.
New interpretative horizons are played out in the free comparison of references.You can check out this blog here

Richard Banks: Assailed on all sides by digital/physical bits
The images above are cartoons that were used in this blog post, highlighting some articles about the shift from physical to digital tech:
Three things crossed my screen in rapid succession, all ruminating on the issue of the shift on our lives from physical to digital, and the changing nature of our sense of artefacts.
First up is this article in the NYT by Carina Chocano on “The Dilemma of Being a Cyborg”, in which she says:
This is the dilemma of being a cyborg: It’s not just that everything we once committed to memory we now store externally on devices that crash or become obsolete or are rendered temporarily inaccessible due to lack of coverage. And it’s not that we spend a lot of time storing, organizing, pruning and maintaining our access to it all. It’s that we’re collectively engaged in a mass conversion of what we used to call, variously, records, accounts, entries, archives, registers, collections, keepsakes, catalogs, testimonies and memories into, simply, data.
