DesignScene application continues the idea to deliver creative content to the iPad readers aggregated from top sources (also check Plethora for iPhone and FLUD). But appart from Plethora and FLUD, DesignScene is paid but it worth of it.
Earlier this year we started to work on the first independent design magazine for iPad called "MAG" by Designcollector. We are happy to show you some work in progress and announce MAG release this spring!

Another fashion designer (after Gareth Pugh) that we considered to be out of classic fashion borders - Hussein Chalayan streches his innovation and creativity across the industry of a beauty.
"PARIS–For fall 2011, Hussein Chalayan again presented a film, picking up where he left off last season, exploring Japanese culture within the DNA he’s established over the past ten years. But it’s not the kind of literal Japanese influence you might envision–no obis or kimono sleeves here. This season’s film, Kaikoku, means “open country” in Japanese. “After the period of isolation Sakoku in Japan, the country experienced and openness to Western culture which over the years has influenced the food, fashion, art, architecture and technology while the country has still remained distinctly Japanese,” his line sheets explained." - read more on Fashionista

Apple did it again. 2 cameras, thin design, nice Smart cover (but recently and personally loved Behance DODO), faster and smarter new iPad 2.
We love it as much as our upcoming iPad Designcollector "MAG" project (est. in April for our 8th Anniversary) that is cooking by a team of Fiodor Sumkin (iPad magazine developer), Aziz Melibayev (Art director) and me as curator.
is a photographer living and working in San Fransisco. Her works are striking, balancing between real and surreal, sometimes mesmerizing or disgusting.
Awesome motion work produced by Dima Grubin (Vimeo) "Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to have properties that may not be found in nature."
Since we are developing Designcollector Magazine for iPad (expected in April for our 8th Anniversary) we are interested in creative applications floating around. Here is an awesome app for typography geeks "Type Specimen"
Type Specimen is the first font viewer for iPad, revolutionizing the way digital fonts are presented today. It's an ideal tool for people who need to select fonts for projects - be it magazine design, corporate identity design, web applications, or book typesetting. Type Specimen is a quick and easy way to navigate the type foundry, containing over two hundred original font styles. Type Specimen allows you to categorize individual fonts, make comparisons, or see details of specific glyphs. All of this for free of course.
came with nice set of minimalistic posters for Oscar nominated movies.
My 28th birthday I spent literally under the Pont Neuf in Paris ("New Bridge") hiding from a rain with my family and a good bottle of red. And this video from Emeric is a small reminder to revisit this place again :)

Okay guys, now you know what famous digital artist Joshua Davis will speak at OFFF 2011 festival. I think he will speak about IBM Super IQ machine "Watson" and the process he created a "face" for "it". That's hard to call Watson "it" because he behave like a human ... well a very well educated human to continously beat a real ones in a famous American quizz show "Jeopardy!". Watch the video below and find out the interesting digital design challenge that Joshua has faced during this project.

Okay and today Watson won the game "Jeopardy!" from two humans
Brit Insurance Designs of the Year is the Design Museum’s annual exploration of the most innovative, interesting and forward-looking new work in design of all kinds, from around the world.
The exhibition presents around 100 projects which are a selection from those nominated by a group of internationally respected design experts, curators, critics, practitioners and enthusiasts. The nominated designs fall into seven categories - architecture, fashion, furniture, graphics, interactive, product and transport. They can be designed by a practice, team or individual. A winner for each category will be selected by an international jury and one overall winner is awarded Brit Insurance Design of the Year 2011 at the awards dinner on March 15
Some examples from nominated designers:
