Pixelmator, Handbrake and KompoZer – the best alternatives for Adobe’s #creative apps #opensource

24. Februar 2015 von schall & rauch

Okay, so at least one (and not necessarily the latest) edition of the Adobe Creative Suite might actually be installed on EVERY designer’s computer. But what if you’re only just starting to work as a freelancer or you want to do some photo editing, designing or sketching on the side just for fun? Or you’ve got a CS edition but it’s missing an application that you’d like to start using? Or you’re suspicious of huge monopolizing corporations dictating the conditions […]

So, I just got this invitation to #Connections tomorrow May 14 in #Hamburg

13. Mai 2014 von schall & rauch

I have no idea, what Connections is or why I have the pleasure of receiving this invitation (since it’s invitation only, it says). I must have gotten my mail address onto the right spam mailing list. Phew! But I guess anyone interested in finding „talent and solutions for all your image & communication needs“ and who happens to be in Hamburg tomorrow, should go check it out. It looks pretty cool. Where: Nord Event Panoramadeck im Emporio, Dammtorwall 15, HAMBURG […]

How would YOU map the Internet? Not possible? Well, have a look at this!

31. Januar 2014 von schall & rauch

Looking at this „Map of the Internet“ by deviantART reminds me of reading Jules Verne’s „Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea„. For some reason. Must be the design HA! To visualise a highly abstract concept such as the Internet and its goings-on is not only a very daring and time-consuming design project. It is plainly: art. deviantART. And also pretty interesting. Funny even. You see us impressed.

More #data, less weight: dataSTICKIES – sticky notes instead of USB drives

11. Dezember 2013 von schall & rauch

USB drives are soooooo yesterday. If you want to be up to date you better get some dataSTICKIES and get going! Stack and peel them, carry them around, stick, work and save, put them in your pocket, in your calendar, write on them, stare in amazement. No more slots, no more caps, no more turning the screen to plug the drive in. Just stick and play! You and I probably have something in common right now: a huge blinking question […]

Abtreten mit Humor und sensationellem Design – der letzte Gang im Öko-Sarg mit lustigen Motiven

12. März 2013 von schall & rauch

Die Wege des Design-Blog-Postings sind wirklich unergründlich. Nachdem uns heute eine unerwartet echte Anfrage eines Bestattungsunternehmens erreichte, fingen wir nicht nur an über Bestattungs-Webdesign sondern auch über Särge nachzudenken und ob es da auch eine Art Sarg-Design-Kunst gibt. Und tatsächlich! Einmal kurz gegoogelt und schon die tollsten Angebote gefunden. Die Ökokisten von Creative Coffins habens uns dabei ganz schön angetan. Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit ist einfach immer aktuell. Ob man jetzt schon mal vorsorgen sollte? Wenn schon abtreten, dann doch bitte […]
