What if displaying your favorite photos were more like playing your favorite vinyl records? A couple of Swedish designers want to introduce a similar ecosystem of “discs,” sleeves, and “players” to the world of photo frames. The idea is called the Frameworks One, a backlit frame for printed photos that can quickly be physically swapped in and out. Preorder it on Kickstarter

It's been a while since I spoke about Russian-born Glitche App at Digitized Festival this September in Athens. Started as a fun in 2013 the Glitche app reached the top of App Store in a few months, right after celebrities and photographers like Nicola Formichetti (Diesel) or Nick Knight (Showstudio) showed the world a new tool that saves a lot of efforts and money to bring a wow-effect. Basically the app give you an opportunity to become a contemporary artist just by distorting your photos with an awesome set of filters and glitch-hacks. After the release of the second version app rocked with a new features and filters like Emoji-art (I still remember the joy of ASCII-Art Christmas Cards my dad did in later 80ss for me). We didn't wait to long for a clever guy using Glitche App to create epic fan art over famous music covers. So he did it very well and buzz the social web with his artworks available on Twitter @emojiartworks. Find the cover you like or create and share your own Glitch Art using the app now. If you totally missed a thing, there is a second app from Glitche Team (Vladimir Shreyder) aimed to eliminate the sense of selfie by creating anti-selfie - SLMMSK. Go try on both apps! Meanwhile enjoy the selection of Emoji Music Cover Artworks below.

"This american artist has an impressive talent and a great technique when it comes to shooting. Working as a lifestyle photographer and capturing essence of products for Nike or Lincoln cars, his talent does not go away when Jared tries to shoot scenes where nothing but nature is the master. And when he’s not busy creating master pieces out of silent hills or foggy mounts, he let his camera and his creative mind discover urban landscapes and beautiful portraits."

Marija Puipaite Lithuanian designer inspired by physicality, in love with tangible matter and suffering from visual fetishism.Embracing the Touch is a project about designer’s relation with the works and designer’s presence in them. Design is a matter, tangible and desirable, that carries meaning in itself, in its body. It’s what you understand and experience through physicality. It’s like a garment that you can try on, see how it looks on you. The same way you project yourself through someone else.
