Seems like IKEA are really shaking things up this year. In addition to the previously announced TV set, they’re also going to release a digital camera made of cardboard called Knäppa (“Snap”). It’ll hold 40 photographs at a time and plugs directly into your USB port. While it’s not the prettiest camera the world has ever seen, I do love the idea of a screen-less digital camera that brings people back to the wait-and-see days of film.

Actually, that is a gorgeous piece of design.

Like ‘em keychain-sized screenless ‘lomo’ digital cameras.

The Ikea camera Those Swedes are at it again. I like this one, too.

When the sun had not set Lovely traditional typography (not just the English). Say what you will about the Empah, but they did leave behind some nice signage.

Upwards Great view of the International Commerce Centre in Kowloon. That’s 1,588 ft heading up, but it’s still shorter than Taipei 101.

Photographer Loves Math, Graphs Her Images

Here are some of the pictures the photographer named Nikki Graziano have captured. Graziano, is a math and photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology, she overlays graphs and their corresponding equations onto her carefully composed photos.

“I wanted to create something that could communicate how awesome math is, to everyone,” she says.

Graziano doesn’t go out looking for a specific function but lets one find her instead. Once she’s got an image she likes, Graziano whips up the numbers and tweaks the function until the graph it describes aligns perfectly with the photograph. See more of her Found Functions series at Nikkigraziano.com.

Co-sign on that I have to hand it to the photographer for working out the equations—very impressive stuff. And quite nicely typeset in Minion.
