ANTI Magazine 8/30/06 Description:
a pdf magazine showcasing all styles of visual media
Comments:
From a place I've found a number of other cool sites, the first issue of the magazine is Born, just released yesterday if I'm correct. It's available in PDF format only via downloadable .zip file. Thanks to Design(Radar for pointing to it – 78 pages of visual goodness...;~))
ida borg 8/29/06 Description:
photographic scrap book
Comments:
She calls it her scrap book and her portraits of people, like the most recent and another taken in May, are superb in my opinion. There's other magic too... [40h.net]
Ingenious 8/27/06 Description:
bringing together images and viewpoints to create insights into science and culture (Flash)
Comments:
This'll probably be the only site you'll ever see listed here that's funded by the lottery but the magnitude of its content is certainly laudable. A wealth of articles and images from a family of British museums plus, for registered users, a debate/discussion platform and other customizable features. Seeing things differently – insights into science and culture...
Johann Clausen 8/25/06 Description:
photography showcase
Comments:
From green fields and blue skies and beautiful architectural shots to crisp black&white+red pictures inside parking garages – currently studying photography in Berlin, Johann's compositions are astounding (to me anyway)...
The Pop Manifesto 8/23/06 Description:
a magazine that focuses specifically on key players in contemporary counter-culture (Flash)
Comments:
From musicians' favorite T-shirts to artists engaged in "recreating imperfections within product design," today's pick takes a look at "the edgy and slightly askew" side of pop culture. Interviews and tasty photographs adorn its pages and it invites you to "seek out" its insane offline events and exhibitions in both the U.S. and Australia...
Defasten 8/21/06 Description:
design, graphic, and the moving image (Flash/Quicktime)
Comments:
Currently a design & animation student, Patrick focuses on digital animation, which "reflects an interest in the fragmentation of media, contemporary society, and the post-modern condition." I was particularly intrigued by his sensory videoDensity 1 dealing with how the representation of long term memory becomes "distorted through a person's environment, experience, and temperament." There's about a dozen other moving image works, each accompanied by brief details of the project, plus some static and interactive works. Interesting perspectives on "information, space, and the urban landscape..."
Absolutely Nothing 8/20/06 Description:
photos by Tristan and Cyril Campbell (and Zack)
Comments:
Past, present, and future – "this website is where i post my own attempts at taking pictures and it also aims to keep cyril campbell's memory and photography alive." Cyril was Tristan's grandfather and "photography was his lifelong passion." Many of his photos are featured along with Tristan's and it seems little Zack is already helping Dad with some shots (like this beauty). All-in-all, rather extraordinary!

photography showcase
Comments:
This one's strictly for the content – there's some extraordinairy photographs here...
eyeinfo 8/16/06 Description:
bit of a mixed bag - with collected resources and student gallery
Comments:
A teacher of web design and digital animation created the site as a space to collect "teaching materials, resources and links" and though part of the site (tutorials and course materials) are understandably for registered users only, it's the excellent list of links plus an "extensive gallery of student work," open to all, which I really wanted to point you to – enjoy!

Cozmo Photography Photoblog 8/14/06 Description:
fotoblog by Sebastian Wahsner
Comments:
Besides some excellent portraits and an interest in wind energy (and beautiful skies, thank you), Sebastian's collection of 100 photos (so far) also includes other incredible things – a unique perspective, a building, and this night shot (among others). An IT student who started taking photos just a few years ago, his fotoblog is just approaching the 1-year mark – dig his most recent pic... [VFXY]
the world of robonut 8/12/06 Description:
illustration and character design (Flash)
Comments:
"The process of deconstruction and reconstruction are endless until some interesting happens." Driv's renditions of beavis and butthead are interesting enough! And stickers of Driv's robonut appear to be all over the streets. It's a world of odd characters. "Simple thoughts paint beautiful minds to save the world." The peculiar world of robonut... [French'N'Fresh]
The Microcosmic Sneeze 8/11/06 Description:
the art of Zane Kozak (Flash)
Comments:
The top left corner will help you get back to the menu to navigate through Zane's rather amazing artworks – drawings, paintings, and sculptures in galleries as well as on the streets. What colorful fun! [RevolverLover]
BlackBlog 8/10/06 Description:
photoblog of Kristof Doffing
Comments:
The navigation and presentation are a little different than most photoblogs. The entries contain reduced crops linked to the larger photos in pop-ups – the smaller, partial pics are inviting. Damn, I love a blue sky (or any sky for that matter, when captured so well). And Kristof has another collection of big pictures too...~))
violetbanks 8/9/06 Description:
image gallery (Flash)
Comments:
What can I say about Violet's (as in violetbanks) visual creations? There's people, guns, bunnies, cupcakes, horses, and balloons and she's got a wonderful knack for illustration and montage – be there...
Etta Gerdes Fotografie 8/8/06 Description:
photography showcase
Comments:
The Strandleben ('beach life') series of 5 small square photos seems the perfect diversion on a summer day. And Etta's search for Paradies ('paradise') was obviously successful...;~))
bobarke 8/7/06 Description:
photographs taken by Bob Bjarke
Comments:
Bob's photo sets include locations like Paris and Barcelona, and Chicago (which was sweet home for me for many years). His photo faucet is organized more chronologically – I like the pics from when he had to go get his birth certificate. A lot of great photos, and a juicy little bonus – his old site...
Simon Wiffen 8/6/06 Description:
acoustic singer songwriter (and web designer) from Leeds
Comments:
Simon says "the music's just a hobby but it's a good way to relax after a busy day of pixel pushing." He does gigs in and around Leeds in the UK and shares 10 songs on the site (including lyrics and the story behind each song). Nice, clean web design and better yet, some cool original acoustic tunes – love his vocals on Sit Me Down and This Way Up...
Detour 8/5/06 Description:
photos and the stories behind them
Comments:A claims to have coined a new word for photoblog – Phlog™. "To share or show-off, I'm never sure." Besides cool street-art and colorful glimpses of people, the other assorted goodies found on this particular phlog™ are all-in-all very good. And I also like the way he shares the stories behind each shot in its expandable details panel. Choose light or dark background color and enjoy! [VFXY]
christoffer jon sinnbeck 8/4/06 Description:
hopefully a picture per day
Comments:
Christoffer, living in Denmark, says that post-processing is "half the fun" of photography. A remarkably rendered train station if you ask me. And his photos are big and colorful...;~))
prolosof 8/3/06 Description:
grafik + animation (Flash)
Comments:
I'm fascinated by Gute Seiten Schlechte Seiten ('Good Sides Bad Sides'), one of Sebastian's animations. And though I don't speak German, it's the visual representation of his words and music samples, presented in a tiny 80x60 space, which I find most intriguing. I guess you have to see it (and his other interesting works) for yourself...
bootjil 8/2/06 Description:
digital painting and illustration (Flash)
Comments:
Bootjil's painting style is a digital variation of the centuries-old Gongbi technique, known for its "highly detailed brushstrokes." Beautiful works, as are the many other assorted illustrations you'll also find here.
The International Illustrated 8/1/06 Description:
a magazine created to evoke and inspire a different sense around designing and illustrating (Flash)
Comments:
Two Brazilian designers started the magazine as an "escape from the common corporative work" for its participants. War is the theme of the first issue, which went online just yesterday – a matter of fun overflowing with tasty visual works... [Uailab]
