Scott Jackson:

In 1989, Matt Groening worked on an Apple advertising pamphlet/booklet thing aimed at students. Read the whole thing.

Sebastiaan de With has started a Flickr group for high resolution versions of iPhone and iPad icons. And speaking of nice icons, check out this beauty for Wikipanion.

The upgraded truck icon that comes with an FTP client

The Strake:

Panic has released a fantastic upgrade to one of the coolest (and most copied) icons ever. As a bonus, the icon comes bundled with an FTP client that is supposed to be pretty damn good.

Here is the “old” version:

And the beautiful, updated version:

Both the cab and the rear container are a bit beefier, the gas tank is less dainty, and the Panic badge on the front end is nice and noticeable. Interior upgrades include cup holders for your Full Throttle energy drink. The front wheels are no longer turned at an awkward, axle-bending angle and… are those Pirelli tires? Gorgeous work as always Panic!

Oh, and it still cracks me up that there’s a rear view mirror in the center of the cab. Maybe it has always been meant as a joke?

Selecting hair with Refine Edge in Adobe Photoshop CS5 is pretty amazing.

The Last Advertising Agency On Earth

This office is being preserved just as it was found after everyone vanished.  We can even see what they were doing when that moment came, filling in time sheets, getting another coffee, playing foosball.  They were carrying on as they always had.  Ignorant to the great change going on all around them that would soon destroy them all.

And this was it…  The consumer to whom agencies had force fed their brand messages for decades stopped being passive.  This was the catastrophe.

The beautiful & talented Sarah Parmenter:

“To celebrate the launch of the iPad, and undoubtedly another fantastic platform to design for, I have designed an iPad Wireframe to help you with the design process for yourself and/or your clients.”

Jason Long:

Earlier UI concepts of Metro in Windows Phone 7 Series. Lots of interesting screens here, all falling into the “fun and stylish as graphic design, but questionable as UI design” department for me.

This looks a bit better than what was actually debuted. It’s laughable that words going off the screen can pass as “innovative” design.
