Here, take my card..


(I usually wouldn't post my own designs like this but...this relates to music and people have really loved this design since May. So, why not.?)

Designed by Matt Braun (aka The Record Player). Laser cut & engraved business cards that work come with a 45 insert. Shown in here is the version on black mat board. They also come in other colors variations. If you're interested in working with him on similar concepts for your record label or for your self, contact him. Check out some of his other work on-

The IQ font


Amazing project!!! I hope to work on some things like this in the not too distant future. (plug: stay tuned for the release of my sound/art/design project nearing completion of phase1 in the next couple of months.) The concept of creating visuals based on tracking movement through a defined space is something I really wanted to explore but just didn't have the budget for. This shows what is possible when using very sophisticated technologies in highly creative ways. Also thanks to companies like Toyota for realizing the importance of art/design and spending tons of money on this. Say what you will about the corporate 'machine' but the fact is that machine helps a lot of ideas to become manifested. What a creatively diverse team too!

Wu-Tang covers remixed



This is a really clever project by designer Logan Waters. Wu-Tang Clan and the solo projects have become modern classics in much the same way as popular jazz did in the '50s & '60s. So, it makes sense to pay homage to the Wu in a way that reflects on the timelessness of their music. Ok, that was a bunch of designer b.s. talk. On the real though, they're dope and it's a good idea. nuff said...

How'd dey do dat?


"Yoshimoto discovered this cube when he was searching for a way to divide a cube equally in three-dimensional space. The result is a peculiar polyhedral dyad consisting of eight interconnected cubes that can be opened in multiple ways. The cube can be divided into two cubes and then transformed into two rhombuses, one silver the other gold with twelve faces each. With its endless transformations, this cube makes a great toy for children as well as an intriguing desktop puzzle. Made of polypropylene."

Noisy posters


I know, it's weird to post two advertising campaigns back to back (without getting paid for it) but I just found this and thought you should see..err, hear it for yourself. These were done by a Brazilian firm called DM9DDB for sound production company called Saxofunny.
