Tim Navis: Photographer

LA based photographer Tim Navis’s images have this dreamy quality that oozes California Cool. They make me long for the sand and surf… Damn this winter weather!

Bertelli: NYC Biciclette Assemblate

Absolutely stunning! Hand-built bicycles, combining vintage frames & parts with new, brings new meaning to the term “classic, yet modern”. Each bicycle is completely unique & unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

SOME QUOTES TO LIVE BY

I think advertising should be like poison gas. It should grip you by the throat, it should bowl you over, it should knock you on your ass.
GEORGE LOIS
Fonts are like cologne, a bad choice speaks louder than a good one.
JUSTIN FIENSTIEN
Good design goes to heaven. Bad design goes everywhere!
THE DESIGNERS REPUBLIC
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
DOUGLAS ADAMS
Design is easy. All you do is stare at the screen until drops of blood form on your forehead.
MARTY NEUMEIER
The distance between insanity and genius is only measured by success.
BRUCE FEIRSTEIN
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep.
SCOTT ADAMS
Good design is good business.
THOMAS J. WATSON
Design trends online change more often than the wind, and slightly less often than my socks.
SULEIMAN LEADBITTER
Art is like masturbation. It is selfish and introverted and done for you and you alone. Design is like sex. There is someone else involved, their needs are just as important as your own, and if everything goes right, both parties are happy in the end.
COLIN WRIGHT
The life of a designer is a life of fight against the ugliness.
There is no design without discipline. There is no discipline without intelligence.
MASSIMO VIGNELLI
Practice safe design, use a concept.
PETRULA VRONTIKIS
Math is easy, design is hard.
JEFFREY VEEN
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
HUNTER S. THOMPSON
I have a brain and some hands and every once in a while it feels like they’re working together. Those are the best moments.
People ignore design that ignores people.
FRANK CHIMERO
Vision without execution is hallucination.
THOMAS EDISON
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart & intuition.
It's not the consumers job to know what they want.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
STEVE JOBS
