Recession Chic: Watercolor Gradients For Pretty Summer Peepers At $20 Or Less!

imageIt’s been called ‘watercolor’ eyes, ‘gradient’ eyeshadow and a number of other monikers, but there’s one thing for sure. Multicolored eye makeup is definitely in. Plus, it’s an easy-on-the-wallet way to try a new summer look. The hot days of summer usually also means being able to wear bright colors and while matchy-matchy makeup is a little dated, the new ‘watercolor’ trend for eyes is perfect. Rich saturated colors and shadows (like a gorgeous teal or vibrant violet) start off strong and and then gently fade in a blended sweep of a differing color. You can choose one color, and fade it into lighter versions of the same hue, or pick contrasting colors to really make an ‘eye-catching’ look. Gold or yellow is a wonderful addition to any color combination and really adds shine to the look. It doesn’t matter which colors or how many you decide to use for this ‘watercolor’ look, simply match it to your mood. Just remember to blend, blend, blend throughout for a soft and sultry look that is fun and beautiful, not gaudy or overpowering. Try an eyeliner or mascara in a unique tone to add even more color to this beauty trend! Click on the slideshow to see some gorgeously vibrant shades that are perfect for mixing and blending at $20 or less!

Nadia Camera

L’appareil photo Nadia est le fruit du travail de Andrew Kupresanin. Un appareil singulier qui a la particularité d’afficher un pourcentage sur son écran plutôt qu’une image. Il calcule les jeux de lumières, de contraste et les autres détails afin de prédire si la photo sera plus ou moins réussie.

As designers, we spend much of our time making things better, but what if to improve someone’s life, we had to make something worse? Recent RISD grad (alma mater shout out), a href=”http://www.erikaskin.com/”Erik Askin/a recently published “Designed to Annoy: A theoretical look at designing inefficient packaging”, a thoughtful twist on the ubiquitous cigarette package. The idea of making something harder to use to encourage a user to rethink their consumption is poignant. I love the thought process and the visual exploration Erik shows. Check out the full project a href=”http://www.erikaskin.com/index.php?/design/design-to-annoy/”here/a./pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/featured_items/intentionally_inefficient_cigarette_packaging_concept_17016.asp”(more…)/a

Wes Craven to Create Graphic Novel

craven_w.jpgFilmmaker and horror maven Wes Craven has inked a deal to create an original graphic novel, although he prefers the more old-school “comic book.” The gore-loving director (Scream, The Hills Have Eyes, Nightmare on Elm Street) will work with Liquid Comics and producer Arnold Rifkin of Cheyenne Enterprises on the project, which will take the form of a four-issue comic book series launching early next year. Expect to see the story ultimately make its way to the silver screen. “I’m thrilled to be working with Liquid Comics and Cheyenne Enterprises on the development of an original idea for both a comic book and for a subsequent film based on it,” said Craven in a press release announcing the deal. “It’s an idea I’ve been dying to get out there.” There he goes with the death imagery again! Although the comic concept is still under wraps, we suggest going meta—with a graphic novel about the filming of Scream 4, now underway in humid Michigan. Craven has been chronicling the “shocking” developments on set via Twitter. The cast and crew have been dodging tornadoes, traffic cops, and flying trampolines while enduring torrential rains, sweltering heat, and cockroach infestations. The most recent scene stealer? Lightning:

Capture Brooklyn

Explore Brooklyn creativity in the borough’s homegrown photo contest
capturebkln1.jpg

The New York Photo Festival celebrated its third year this past May, but that wasn’t enough for the event’s cofounder Daniel Power (who’s also the PowerHouse Books CEO and a former VII Photo director). Today the NYPH announced a contest called Capture Brooklyn.

Photographers can submit their work for a chance to show at The powerHouse Arena in Dumbo, Brooklyn during the Dumbo Arts Festival 24-26 September 2010. The event attracts 150,000 over the three days, but the images will stay up until 15 October 2010. The goal is to aggregate images that capture Brooklyn as the new place for literature, music, art and photography in New York.

You can submit up to three images for $25 or up to six for $50. Winners will be asked to bring in their work in early September.
