Beautipedia (Modified)

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Screenshot (with my stylesheet)

I downloaded David Jones’ Beautipedia extension for Safari (which turns Wikipedia into a more readable and attractive site). However I found it a bit ‘clunky’ so I edited the style-sheet and cleaned it up, making it lighter and more subtle as well as introducing line spacing and more.

Update: After speaking with David Jones, he gave me permission to publish ‘Beautipedia (Modified)’, you can download it below (and it will update when a new version comes out, since I intend to keep it updated).

I urge you to look at David Jones’ website, he coded most of the plugin.

Download Note: You may want to ‘Download Linked File As…’, rather thank click the link.

Minimal TV Show Posters

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

I’ve covered minimalist posters in the past and whilst these aren’t quite as exciting, I definitely love the concept. It’s worth a look for those who are fans of minimalism and simplicity, like myself. Justin Van Genderen’s designs can be seen and purchased here.

I’m a big fan of minimalism and these movie poster remakes (in minimal and gracious form) are just stunning, they would make any minimalist lover salivate uncontrollably.

You can currently view and buy the posters from the creators site at Shoot The Glass.

OZO Watch

OZO1

The OZO watch by Anton Repponen is possibly one of the most fantastically designed watches I’ve seen. Unfortunately it is only a concept watch. Check out his O2 watch too.
