The download section of our site hasn’t been updated recently due to an over-abundance of things to do outside of the realm of shameless self-promotion. However, it seems that the downloads are still kicking up web traffic, via hdw.eweb4.com/, an online desktop download location. Seems that some of the first of our desktop downloads made the list, but a few of our favorites were missing, so we’re scratching our heads.

Nice little image feed from tumblr. All the science you can shake a beaker at, and more!

Our annual contribution to the Lawrence Ultimate Summer League is ready for print. This year’s shirt provides a safety briefing to summer league participants through a “Back to Safety” campaign based on airline safety pamphlets.

Alupa Creative has been providing shirts to various Ultimate Frisbee Summer Leagues in one way or another since 2004.

In addition to the shirt, this year’s ultimate frisbee disc has also been completed and is ready to go.

Thanks to Jon UB for the feedback re: Shirt Cone Number Issue. The cones in the image have been changed from four to the appropriate 8 in both the mock ups above and on the updated shirt design that we gave to the printer. Should be good to go.

Also, here’s the disc, since Noble asked.

Pentagram.com has released a handy instrument that can tell you which type of “Type” category that you fall into. Take the test here.

Through a series of questions, posed by a pseudo-psychiatric video moderator, you can determine if you are the happy go-lucky type, or the down to earth pragmatic type. Think of this as a simplified Myers-Briggs Type Indicator for all of those designers and typophiles out there.

Two days ago, the above video showed up in my RSS feed. Much to my surprise, the show reel of Ole Magnus Saxegard (a name previously unknown to me, despite the next paragraph) included one of my favorite short films/animations.

A few years back I was doing some research for an animation project that a client was interested in putting together. I came across “The History of Evil” (video below). The story was a little on the vague side as to how exactly the history of evil was passed down through the generations, but the animation itself was top shelf. Although the animation that we were working on had to be cut due to budget reasons, the inspiration remained.

So, here it is, one of my all-time favorite web released animation shorts: A History of Evil.

There’s no Waldo to be found in this piece by Joakim Dahlqvist, a European artist focusing on a ’self-initiated study of superdense cities’ and neo-neo architectural elements and cityscapes, but there are plenty of other tidbits to be found upon closer examination.

{Check out the person playing frisbee with their dog at the beach in the bottom left of the image.}

The original article (with much more detailed information regarding the artist’s background, the pieces themselves and a great theoretical write-up of creativity vs. consumption) can be found over at thingsmagazine.com. If you’re searching for RSS fodder, it doesn’t get much better than this.

It’s that time of the year… The time of year for starting paragraphs with the phrase “it’s that time of the year.”

…And because of this, Pantone has released the must-have color for 2010: Turquoise. Booyah.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
