'Wow' was definitely the first word that came to mind after spotting these beautiful editorials by UK-based photographer Corrie Bond. She's able to bring this feminine quality to her work which makes her beauty and fashion editorials go the extra mile. The lighting, imagery, and colors are absolutely perfect! She has worked with the likes of Marie Claire, InStyle, and the New York Times among others.

The Perfect Office #72

Posted: 17 Jan 2011 10:47 AM PST

We've seen some great gadgets and equipment for designers. So many cool stuff, that we could actually assemble infinite perfect office spaces! Every week we'll assemble a perfect office, and we'd like you to help us. What equipment would the perfect office have?

Not only gadgets and equipment, but also furniture, sound system, gaming stuff (for lunch time!). A designer is totally allowed to dream with the perfect office, and that's what we're gonna do here! Also, tell us your suggestions, or even better, you may tell us via twitter (mine and fabio's), using #abdz_ofc so we can check it. Alright? I hope you guys enjoy this brief selection. Cheers! ;)

MUCHroom Wall Hook

Simple in design, and easily mountable. The MUCHroom wall hook looks great even when it's not holding your things. Inspired by mushrooms growing from a forest floor. Each box comes with 3 hooks that are pre-screwed as well as 3 self-drilling wall anchors. (at Workerman)

Blok pendant light

Made from a solid piece of olive wood, this light is stunningly simple in form and function. Featuring a vintage style Edison carbon filament bulb that gives off a warm orange-ish glow and allows you to see its beautiful glowing filament. This light will plug into any standard wall outlet, and comes with a 13ft black or white cord attached for easy hanging anywhere in your home. (at Workerman)

Motz Tiny Wooden Speaker

This speaker supports Micro SD and SD memory cards as well as USB flash drives, so in addition to being a portable speaker that connects to your phone or MP3 player, it can also play music directly from memory cards. The handcrafted speaker features a rechargeable lithium battery that works up to 5 hours, and up to 10 hours if used with earphones. (at Holy Cool)

Polaroid iPhone Decal

Now you can dress your iPhone in its true identity with the Polaroid iPhone Decal. It transforms your iPhone's plain old back into the Rainbow OneStep Polaroid Land camera (voted the sweetest looking camera for 20 consecutive years). (at Photojojo!)

ZAGGmate iPad companion

ZAGGmate is made from aircraft aluminum with a bead-blasted, anodized finish matching the design, look and feel of your iPad. The ZAGGmate is the thinnest hard cover protector for the front of the iPad. Its simple yet innovative hinge provides viewing and typing angles in both portrait and landscape mode. The option of a built-in physical Bluetooth keyboard allows for fast, responsive typing. (at ZAGG)

Fingerprint Project by Kevin Van Aelst

Posted: 17 Jan 2011 03:55 AM PST

Kevin Van Aelst's portfolio consists of some of the most creative work I have seen in a long time. While there is so much work of his worthy to be featured I chose to focus in particular on his fingerprint project where he recreates fingerprints out of common day-to-day objects. Probably tedious and time consuming but very cool indeed.

My color photographs consist of common artifacts and scenes from everyday life, which have been rearranged, assembled, and constructed into various forms, patterns, and illustrations. The images aim to examine the distance between the 'big picture' and the 'little things' in life—the banalities of our daily lives, and the sublime notions of identity and existence. While the depictions of information--such as an EKG, fingerprint, map or anatomical model--are unconventional, the truth and accuracy to the illustrations are just as valid as more traditional depictions. This work is about creating order where we expect to find randomness, and also hints that the minutiae all around us is capable of communicating much larger ideas.

Definitely make sure to swing by his portfolio for more and let me know what you think via twitter!
