HyperQuake

The fine folks over at Netdiver recently gave us a shout out on their blog (thanks guys!) after taking note of some of the recently refreshed elements on HyperQuake.com.

You can check out what they said right here.

After that, if you feel like it, drop us a line and let us know what you think of the new elements on the site. You know how to contact us.

So, in addition to daily photos of his in-progress workspace, Chuck Anderson has been Twittering non-stop about some Casemate thing, and I finally checked it out. Holy moly, I Make My Case was way more awesome than I was ready for, design- and function-wise.

Casemate has gathered an awesome selection of illustrators, who in turn have created custom designs for iPod, iPhone and Blackberry cases that you can buy. BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE. The artists have also provided elements for you to design your own case in their style. Yes. Now YOU can make that Deanne Cheuk design just so

The full list of artists to choose from (if you can) is: Chuck Anderson, Nigel Evan Dennis, Deanne Cheuk, Hannah Stouffer, Ray Frenden, Thomas Hooper, Anthony Yankovic, Shadow Chen, Joshua Davis and Matt W. Moore.

This might be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen – One Bit Increment created an interactive website using handmade papercut shapes and figures, which were then individually photographed and animated in flash. You can also play along and move the animals like a video game. Visit the site, then check out the creation process here.

By the way, the scene transforms into nighttime when the sun sets in Los Angeles. The weather (wind and rain) is also driven by Los Angeles data retrieved from Yahoo weather.

What? No, not with MONEY or WHISKEY, with fabulous preloaders!

PrettyLoaded is a preloader museum curated by Big Spaceship, celebrating those functional little pieces who dare to be awesome.

Whether you’re an Interactive Designer or not, A List A Part should be in your RSS reader. Weekly, they post informative, thought-provoking, well-written articles on creativity, web design, client relationships, and more. “List” used to be very interactive-focused, with tutorials and writing about emerging trends, but have shifted over the past few years to cover a broader range of creative topics while upping the quality each and every time.
