Ways to read Designcollector after Google Reader shuts down

If you’re reading this post in Google Reader, you won’t be doing so tomorrow. After July 1st Google Reader is shutting down. There is a lot of opportunities to stay with us reading our RSS channel on mobile or web applications. NOW please run fast to your Google Reader Settings press "Import/Export" tab and follow the instructions to save all your favourite channels as an OPML source file that you can import later to other reading applications.

I am personally out from G-Reader since its first appointment on closure few month ago, and being a curious mind I ran my personal reading sever running on Fever by Shaun Inmann. But at least you need to have a server to run this beautiful app.

News reading apps:

1. For my Fever News reading server I use the mobile app called Reeder but following their latest news they are not ready to solve the issues after Google Reader is out. But they are still good and can run your Fever, Feedly, Feedbin

2. Google Currents for Mobile (add Designcollector Channel) The long-waited app from Google met a cool wave of critics last year but still a good opportunity to read your favourite RSS channels. Prepare to meet a "Newspaper" like user interface with no opportunity to glide through the news.

3. FLUD. I have been following Flud news aggregator since their first appearance as a startup. For now guys has been grown up as a huge News experience environment with Mobile and Desktop solutions both corporate and user oriented. You must try them, find Designcollector on Creative tab in application.

4. Netvibes - the oldest News reading web and mobile applications that uses pretty nice grid user interface.

5. FEEDLY. You can use Feedly on your desktop or you can download the app for your iPhone/iPad or from Google Play. Use these instructions to import your Google Reader feeds into Feedly with one click

6. Flipboard. You can follow us on Flipboard – just download the app for Apple or from Google Play. Use these instructions to migrate your Google Reader feeds into Flipboard.

7. Pulse. Another great news application that can easily migrate your Google Reader settings by this link

I bet there are many other ways to read Designcollector news in case you don't like to check our website every morning (Digg Reader, My Yahoo) but here is the easiest way:

Handvas

Ever noticed how artists and designers hold up their work in front of them when having it photographed? Primarily as a way to show it displayed, but also to show scale. Well, now there’s a more permanent hanging solution that mimics that and it’s called Handvas. Handvas are 3D printed hands that attach to the wall to hold up your prints and posters in a more creative way than tape or thumbtacks.

The Great Gatsby VFX

Chris Godfrey - the VFX supervisor on the film Great Gatsby, released this awesome before/after showreel unveiling the core visual code of the movie.

"Baz has graciously agreed to let us release this 'before and afters' reel to show our peer group the VFX work completed on his film 'The Great Gatsby'. While this specific reel was the work of Animal Logic (as my primary vendor), in total I worked with 7 vendors including Animal Logic, Rising Sun and Iloura in Australia, ILM in San Francisco and also Prime Focus and Method Vancouver. We also ran an amazing internal SWAT team that completed over 400 shots. Congratulations to all who did such fabulous work on almost 1500 shots."

Andrew Young

Vancouver based Andrew Young represents the young generation of contemporary artists working in cross-section of hyper-realism and abstraction.

His work currently focuses on lost and found adolescence. We are lost in our self-indulgent primal behavior, forgoing the morals and values our parents have instilled in us. In these images we reflect on our own experiences of these dark visceral moments and places. Our juvenility is found when we disregard our age and act on impulses, often finding ourselves demonstrating irreverent, self-gratifying exploits.

But that just a rip of an iceberg, and as he was born with adventure bone, his talent covers so many topics from safari adventures to shark playgrounds, from beauty portraiture to movie posters. Beside his awesome portfolio I also advise to take a look at MullerPhoto app that is a pretty nice camera application packed with some Muller's technical features.

Vadim Zakharov: Danaë installation at the Russian Pavilion

"Drawing from the perpetually revisited myth of Zeus and Danae, an installation by Vadim Zakharov in the Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2013 uses consumable objects and the sequence of architectural spaces to make manifest underlying ideas about 'rudeness, lust, narcissism, demagoguery, falsehood, banality, and greed, cynicism, robbery, speculation, wastefulness, gluttony, seduction, envy, and stupidity.' the impregation of danae occurs when zeus appears to her as a golden shower after she is locked in a tower to prevent the professed death of her father. gender dynamics and the poetic cycle of gestation are reconstructed spatially with a total use of the pavilion-- a first in the history of the building. aside from providing two viewing points, the division of lower and upper chambers implicates the viewer directly in the materialization of the myth. through a large aperture in the floor a women-only space is laden with golden coins and fitted with umbrellas to shield the mechanical fall of the symbolic objects." via
