Happy 30th Birthday, Photoshop!

30 years ago today [02.19.1990], Adobe released Photoshop v1.0 to the world. It was a watershed moment in both the software and creative industries. It jump started countless number of careers of emerging and professional photographers, illustrators, designers, and yes, even filmmakers (it was co-created by John Knoll after all -- and for kiddies who don’t know who John Knoll is, he is the ILM visual effects ninja who worked in Star Wars trilogies). Photoshop showed everyone what is possible when inspiration strikes, and only limited by one’s imagination. To this day, it is my go to tool for everything (photo manipulation, poster design and prototyping), and I will continue to use it... forever.

It's Pi Day today so I was inspired to do goodle for it. I was too lazy to put all the digits that comprise a Pi so I just spelled the word "etc" to compensate :-)

ZOOEY DESCHANEL

music / the decemberists -- the king is dead

design + illustration / carson ellis photography / autumn de wilde

I ordered The Decemberists' new album "The King Is Dead" in its Deluxe Edition form. I'm a huge fan of Autumn De Wilde's photography (we share a common love for Polaroids) so this is a :must-have: on my collection. The package is limited to 2500 and you get the following: 180gm white vinyl, the CD, the making-of DVD, 1 of 2500 original Polaroid print by Autumn De Wilde, a book that contains 250 Polaroid shots of the band by Autumn De Wilde with illustrations by Carson Ellis (another favourite illustrator of mine). It's a bit pricey but the amount of work that was put into it makes it worth your every penny.

website / gowalla

as far as location-aware, social websites are concerned, i personally use foursquare. but website design awesomeness goes to gowalla. their combination of childlike drawings, catchy icons and striking color palettes make first-time visitors sign-up on their site without second thoughts (that would include me lol). as a web designer myself, i could imagine all the brainstorming and wireframing that went to gowalla's killer web design. thumbs up!
