Some interesting patterns
Some interesting patterns
Because I (Paul) am a huge nerd this newsletter often talks more about engineering and product development. Postlight is, however, just as dedicated to design as engineering. Skyler Balbus, a Senior Designer here, offered to pull together some interesting design links. It’s awesome. Here’s the first item:
Once, in design school, I had to do a project where we arranged images into a matrix, with one axis describing a semantic shift and another one describing a syntactic one. If this sounds stupidly complicated, that’s exactly how I felt about it at the time. Now, though, I’m grateful for that exploration and the directions of thought it opened up. Kelberman has taken a similar idea — sequencing images based on loose concepts of both form and meaning — and created a delightful archive of more or less mundane images that somehow feels neverending, enthralling.
And the rest is here—our first “Design Link Roundup.”
