Back to the Future traveling to our real life 2015

Everyone knows that the 2015 that Doc and Marty time traveled to in Back to the Future II was so much cooler than our 2015. They had hoverboards and self-lacing sneakers and flying cars and fusion reactors! We don’t have any of that. Instead we have bad fashion taste, global warming, selfies, Internet bullying and boards that people call hoverboards but definitely do not hover.

I Create Illustrative Artworks From Laser Cut Plywood

By building up layers of laser cut, stained plywood, I create intricate relief pieces that bridge the gap between craft, illustration and sculpture. These works are essentially drawings that have been brought off the page and into the real world as permanent form of storytelling.

Jony Ive says Steve Jobs films are hijacking his legacy 

Share on Facebook (627) Tweet (370) Share (3) Pin For Apple design chief Jony Ive, remembering the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is not possible without understanding the context of how he worked. It’s been four years since Jobs’ death, the anniversary for which was earlier this week. Ive said today at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit in San Francisco that recent films about Jobs don’t grasp the whole picture. Instead, these efforts are hijacking Jobs legacy “with agendas that are different than those of your close family and your friends,” he said.Ive said that the “ridiculous things” that have been written about Jobs were not written with Apple’s creative process in mind. “Try to remember what he was doing and that he was having arguments with chip designers on this side and thermal engineers on that side,” he said. Ive added that Jobs’ propensity for shutting people down was a product of his ability to focus. “It doesn’t mean that you’re an asshole,” he said. “It doesn’t mean that your hobby is arguing.”

It’s Nice That | Lukas Ackermann’s playfully abstract identity for new Zurich culture hub

Swiss graphic designer Lukas Ackermann has created this colourful visual identity for the Toni-Areal, a new area of development in Zurich that used to be an old milking factory. Emulating simple building blocks and abstract shapes, _Creative City_ feels like a playful blueprint of the various structures set to be built in the area. As well as posters, billboards, print ads and paper bags, Lukas has even designed accompanying sugar packets which look like cute little bricks. Muted primary colours prevent it from looking garish, but give it enough punch that it stands out in magazine spreads and on billboards next to grey buildings.
