This fantastic and eerie looking orb is by Denis Smith. Have a look at some more of his great long exposure images balls here.
There is NO PHOTOSHOP manipulation of the images, I have only adjusted brightness and saturation.

Multiuser sketchpad

Mr Doob has created a new browser based drawing experiment. This time you can collaborate with other visitors and create a masterpiece. Images spontaneously appear before your eyes, and partnerships are formed as you help other users with their creations. I helped user XXXL draw a face, they did the eyes and the nose and I aided by drawing the hair. There was no discussion, no planning, no permission, it just happened. It’s fun and feels nice, but be ready for someone scribbling over your pictures.

This packaging for Babees honey has been beautifully designed packaging by Ah&Oh studio. The packaging has been very carefully considered from the three stripes around the bottom of the jars to the elegant and subtle shape of the jars and fluttering label.

The Art of Analog Computing

Ever wondered how a design agency does it’s work? This fantastic video by Meltmedia explains all.
“The premise of this short film is to represent the digital tools and interfaces we use daily in an analog way. In the analog office, your computer desktop becomes your actual desk, your inbox gets flooded with Spam cans, the server runs past you multiple times a day (and perhaps crashes every now and then), and Twitter users follow each other around the space. This concept is essentially just for fun but also reminds us just how digitally connected we all are.”
