ross racine
amazing work done by ross racine, made by drawing freehand directly onto the computer, and using a high end ink jet printer, he does not use photographs or other scanned in images. impressive!

marfa trip
13 photographers from all over america have got together to travel and take beautiful photographs; two of my favourite things! some of their shots are just gorgeous, they make me want to pack my bags and go! follow their blog here.
summer at moma
a brilliant new
website launched by the moma to help visitors plan their visits to the museum.

all your preferences, lifestyle habits and tastes that are saved on facebook, summer at moma connects to your facebook profile, scans it, analyses it and matches your preferences in the social network with the experiences currently offered at the museum.

in less than a minute you receive personalised reccomendations on the stuff you shouldn't miss which of course you can share on facebook itself or on twitter. you can save your customized visit plan and add or remove parts to refine it. its a brilliant idea, i'm just not sure how i or other people will feel about giving out personal paswords on a random website.

hellmans realfood info graphic movie
although there has been alot of hype recently on the internet for data visualization, this is a very interesting use of it for a brands purpose. i love the idea of all the food you eat being locally sourced, and getting people to think about what effects importing food has on the environment (economically, environmentally and socially) when you have something just as good outside of your front door, i think it is a great idea for a brand like hellmans to get involved with. find out more about the eat real, eat local campaign here.

possibly there have been some visually better info graphic movies on the internet recently, such as the one below, but i think its a great idea and campaign!
