Just thought i’d share something ive been enjoying the past 2 weeks;

the sight of a witches hat atop a stop sign  on Perth’s high end retail strip King Street. It has sat there seemingly unnoticed amongst the the chic shoppers for 2 weeks.

Made me stop and think, who’s job is it to remove traffic cones from street signs?

In the world of projected animation and augmented reality, some people are still doing it the old school way with some success.  This 3 dimensional model / painting is call “Paradoxymoron” by Patrick Hughes.  See link:

This caught my eye on the weekend….

Designed by Lim Hyuntaik from Design Academy Eindhoven Netherlands, won the Bronze Award in Student Designs Category of 2009 International Design Excellent Award. The Sound Carpet is a home sound system as well as a designated space for relaxation and entertainment that encourages face-to-face interaction. The speakers and cords are hidden inside the four raised corners, so users are not distracted by visual clutter. The corners also provide a place for users to lounge while listening to music, reading or conversing.
