Disappointed by the fact that there’s no way to save the humorous, strange or loving text messages that we send and receive – and that ultimately they have to be erased – Martin Frostner & Johanna Lewengard came up with a novel method by which they could be retained. 
By designing a series of rubber-stamps, the designers allowed the best messages to be stamped anywhere, perhaps to be used again with the postman as courier this time!

Spam drawing
Apparently artists find spam inspiring. After spam architecture, Marian Bantjes creates spam drawing!

Design police
The design police said it all, it brings bad design to justice! It provides a visual enforcement kit with template buttons to cut and past on your blogs ...

Arabesque
An upcoming graphic design book that I want! Arabesque, Graphic Design from the Arab World and Persia by Ben Wittner, Sascha Thoma, Nicolas Bourquin.
If you want a print version of this beautiful book, just buy the book! 
Despite their rich tradition of calligraphy, the Arab World and Persia are not known for their contemporary graphic design, illustration and typography. Young designers are just beginning to chart their own compelling course between local visual convention and a modern, international style.
The book Arabesque investigates the creative potential of the Arab World and Iran. This book features examples of recent innovative and groundbreaking design work that is inspired by the richness of the region’s visual culture.

Graphic new theme for iGoogle
After Boing Boing's Adventure in Lollipopland theme for iGoogle, John Maeda just released a graphic theme. John Maeda offers a series of online gadgets, e.g. a calculator, a clock, an elegant interactive display of his Ten Laws of Simplicity. More recently he launched a new theme on iGoogle. The theme changes based upon the time of day (every 4 hours), and is based upon a series of strokes he drew by hand and a simple algorithmic manipulation thereof. Enjoy!

High touch visual
Hoehenluft by Pixelgarten
Tactile shows how graphic design is moving into three-dimensional objects and products. The innovative examples documented in the book TACTILE – High Touch Visuals, distributed by Die Gestalten Verlag, demonstrate how designers are developing and implementing their ideas spatially from the very outset of a project. Tactile proves that spatial innovation in graphic design is not limited to personal work or artistic endeavours, but is being sought out more and more often by commercial clients, for example, in store design.

A Poster with an alterable Structure
Jessica Nebel created this poster with an alterable structure that I discovered on Type for you. The poster displays tangible pixels as messages.“Pixel It” consists of two layers of paper. Cuts on the white outer layer allow the user to fold parts out and therefore create a "Pixel-Structure" by showing the colored layer underneath.

Sweet logo
To design psychohaptic's logo, I searched a visual identity for the research. The logo that I ended up creating visually represents a mix between therapy and artificial comfort: a cross pink. The pink reminded me of artificial candy' sweetness, and the cross aimed to connect to medical care. Creating an artificial sensation of touch with Psychohaptics for therapy, the pink cross logo worked pretty well.
I recently discovered Happy Pills, a sweet shop in Barcelona designed in homage to traditional pharmacies. The logo is exactly the same one than the one I made for our project at MIT. I started to be interested in the common points between projects with similar logos. I envision a database of logos with a few keywords on the rationale for their design choices and their corresponding projects. As for a navigation system through design works, that would be very exciting! 
M designed the branding and packaging as well as the interior of the store. “When you get candy in your mouth, your mood lifts, you feel better,” says M partner Marion Donneweg. “It’s like a bite of happiness.”

Music videos: after the e-baby ...
E-baby Produced by Pleix / Chased by Cowboys. Music: Bleip. 2003.
Beauty kit Produced by Pleix. Music: Bleip. 2001.
Music videos that mainly deal with the question of the influence of technology on our lives such as biotechnology, media and plastic surgery, etc ... Pleix is a virtual community of digital artists -3d, musicians, graphic designers- based in Paris. I like their progression from the beauty kit, the e-baby: how to order a baby online, to birds as flying dogs: the imagery is stunning, to the complete human assimilation of freaky gigantic robotic-plastic rabbit.
Birds Produced by Pleix / Blink. Music: Vitalic. PIAS. 2006.
All their videos.
Check also Régine Debatty's report on Pleix's talk.

Musicovery
Toujours plus haut toujours plus fort! Music discovery systems can lack graphic visualization, Musicovery does not!
