For those in Birmingham I highly recommend visiting the Ikon Gallery to view their latest exhibition by Japanese print artist Utagawa Hiroshige.
The collection is stunning in detail and character. The format and structure of the prints really appeals to my design sensibilities and should to others with an interest in graphic art / illustration or printmaking.
For those who can't make it down to the Ikon Gallery, you can view a selection of the images in the new Ikon Media Gallery.

We’ve just added a collection of five games we created for HSBC into our portfolio.
View the project & play the games.
This site is dedicated to funny exam answers. Peter Ngyen's essays are the work of a genius.
We applied this thinking to our Tallis Talk and Tallis Shorts projects: make things look and feel fun and kids will interact and want to learn. These examples demonstrate this concept in action in Japan.
This website has very thoughtfully gathered together a collection of over 30 well designed free icon sets for you to snag and use. A great collection which can potentially save a lot of time when working on projects where the budgets don't stretch to a custom icon set. Sweet.
This gets me pretty dang excited being the Maths nerd that I am.
Technology finally, after years of wishing I was a space cadet and being broken hearted, is starting to blow my mind. There's a lot of agencies pushing the boundaries at the moment and this is just one really simple execution but inspiring at the same time. (Or is that Elle blowing my mind.. it's easy to get confused!)
I saw this on a telly show a couple of weeks ago and it made me chuckle.
An experimental fashion designer called Ms. Tsukioka was worried about Japans street crime, so she decided to create clothes that could transform into urban objects like vending machines and manholes. Pictured is the skirt that can be turned in to a vending machine.
The photos on this blog make me jealous.
"Cinematic Particles draws abstract
visualizations of a movie's succession of subtitles as smokey
watercolor drawings emerge from each movies individual frequency of
spoken words and letters."
Try playing with the speed that it draws to acheive some inspirational visuals. It seems the faster you play the subtitles back the more dense the "particles" become.

After several months of content migration and population, we’re delighted to finally announce the launch of the Ikon Gallery website to complement and extend Ikon’s offline communications. Click here to view the site. Read on for more about the project.
This is rad. Vincent Fichard and Matthew Jones made a series of replica signs and put them up around Dubai to encourage a reaction from passers by.
