Sculptures Made from Stainless Steel Ribbons by Gil Bruvel

May 30th, 2013




Gil Bruvel a Texas based artist, is the creator of these remarkable stainless steel sculptures. Though I’m not sure exactly how these are made, it appears that he molds the shape initially using clay or a plaster and then casts the form in stainless steel.

…with each ribbon, the eye bends, curves, assembles, deforms, and traces the edges of each subject. The ribbons direct my emotions and creative flow with a force like I have never felt before. The smaller ones are subtle-the larger ones are essential, but they all flow together to create one being. The multiple patterns of the lines effectively illustrate the multifaceted parts of what makes us human.

Designspiration Job Board

April 29th, 2013

I’ve been working non-stop over the last few months to get new features live for Designspiration. One of these features is the Job Board. The goal of the job board is to help creatives find career opportunities, check it out.

There were a number of challenging aspects of building this addition, but the main one was how to handle mobile. It’s not something I’ve done a whole lot of and just to complicate things, a new grid needed to be developed for the updates following this one. The restructuring of the grid took just about as much time to figure out as it did to build the job board itself.

If you know an agency or company looking to hire, please let them know about the job board. Also, follow the Designspiration jobs twitter @Dspnjobs for job updates.

Comedown Machine Cover Art

April 8th, 2013





This cover art for The Strokes is great. Very simple and nicely set type. The distressing on the packaging is done so well that I instantly thought it was vintage. It was designed by Brett Kilroe & Tina Ibañez and art directed by Brett Kilroe & Fab Moretti.

These pieces of art created by Andrew Myers are very intriguing. Each piece uses screws at different depths to give the piece it’s own depth. After placing the screws, he uses oils to paint the image on the heads of the screws which also help bring the piece alive.

Check out more of Andrew’s work here.

When it comes to Leica I can’t hide the fact that I love their design. This project by Tonic was about fleshing out the design of the Leica M9 body using 3d graphics, photorealistic lighting and materials to make it the camera look all the more real.

The E-inkey Keyboard Concept

February 20th, 2013





Remembering shortcuts for all of your applications is fairly tough. This keyboard concept designed by Maxim Mezentsev & Aleksander Suhih solves that issue. The keyboard keys would show custom buttons for each program that you use (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, etc). Potentially you could even set the keys in the font of your choice. Though, you can bet on your design friends pulling a switch to comic sans prank on your every time you leave your desk.
