Near Instant Gratification
YouTube is all like “oh MAYBE we’ll serve you this video. Maybe. Maybe you’ll just hang out with this endless loading spinner instead. We could care less. We’re friggin’ Google.” I don’t care how fast the internet gets… video players will always be slow and buggy by comparison. The animated gif is instantly there for you. As soon as you see it, it’s got something. Its love is unconditional.

Album covers for bands whose music I don't really know

From the duo who brought you the Nike Music shoe, Hifana’s new album “24H” released yesterday. Based on the concept of “1 day : 24 hours,” the album is made up of 12 audio/video tracks featuring different events that occur throughout the day. The production was the result of a collaboration between Hifana, W+K Tokyo Lab and over 15 up-and-coming visual creators.

Above: their previous album, Nampoon Cable.

And obviously a band we know, whose new album and accompanying film look amazing:

NO Fear Of Missing Out

This is from a great blog, ISO50 by Scott Hansen, but lots of people contribute to it.

This post is by Alex Cornell who's a design student (in San Fran I think) and had a brief which was basically to "make something cool"...

"I learnt a long time ago that an open brief like this is not preferable despite what I think at first. I set off trying to make something awesome and basically drove myself insane again. The class was called 'Design Outside the Box' and the project duration was from January through May."

He chose to explore FOMO (fear of missing out), and in his blog post he details the entire process so it's worth a look.
