Lucky Ugly

October 12, 2007

It saddens me to see the new redesign of Lucky.com. I was just starting to lose interest in the ever bombarding you with expensive shopping print publication, and thought maybe the online experience would be easier to navigate, so this is disappointing. The site lacks structure, hierarchy, elegance and screams at you from all directions, not that the previous version was that much better. www.luckymag.com

Design 21 has redesigned its site to include a smarter web 2.0 user experience. Users (designers, artists, etc.) can now upload a full profile and small portfolio, start a blog and engage with the design community. The network does great work promoting important social issues through responsible design, backed by UNESCO and sponsored by Felissimo New York. Check out the site here.

If there is one thing to do in Las Vegas, it’s seeing Cirque Du Soleil’s “O” water performance at the Bellagio. It is truly the most beautiful, emotive, and profound experience one can get. If you can’t see the show, experience the album.

Check out this popular site created by Josh Rubin—Coolhunting.com. Want to be on the up and up on all things cool (not trendy, that’s so mainstream!)? I also work with these guys at Bond Art and Science. Great content.

The collection of photos and photographers create impact on world view with powerful images and commentary. Some serious content and the In Motion podcasts are pretty cool. Link

Illustrations are simple, cool, linear, organic, pretty, modern, retro all at the same time. Great illustrations for children too.

Colors of Morac

Came across a site for 226 Design and was refreshingly inspired by Eugene’s work, photography especially.
