Visionaire Magazine | Issue 56: Solar

May 11, 2009 | Filed Under Art/Design | 2 Comments 

Visionaire Magazine has a reputation for pushing the boundaries of the traditional print industry. Their methods of publishing are truly innovative and each magazine, or better yet each page, is an artwork in itself. The latest issue, Visionaire 56 Solar, is in collaboration with Calvin Klein Collection and is no exception. When exposed to direct sunlight, the black and white artworks presented are transformed into pages of vibrant color. The effects of this special printing technology look amazing and one would not expect anything less from Visionaire.

The Daily Routines of Remarkable People

January 21, 2009 | Filed Under Food For Thought, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment 

PSFK brought to my attention a newly launched blog called, Daily Routines - its a simple, inspiring blog highlighting the sometimes fascinating (other times fascinatingly mundane) day-to-day routines of artists, scientists, writers, and other exceptional thinkers and doers throughout history. The blog shows how these remarkable people, from Erik Satie to Charles Darwin to Philip Roth, structured their daily lives to enable them to create and discover most effectively. Darwin followed a strict routine, broken down hour by hour; while Franz Kafka liked to nap his afternoons away (from around 330pm, when his lunch would usually commence, to 730pm, when he’d get up for some excercise). The blog is an interesting, reassuring reminder that there are many paths that lead to success - and that some even call for four-hour midday naps.
