Use The Sun To Your Advantage With These Shine-Enhancing Hair Products!

imageMaybe in the winter you could get away with dull, dry hair (though personally I think there’s no excuse for that!), but now that summer’s officially here and the sun is in your favor, it’s time to embrace lush, shiny locks! Maybe you’ll never look quite like the models in a Pantene Pro-V commercial (trust me, they have a lot of help!), but you’ll look pretty darn close with these glossifying hair products! I’m a big fan of Frederic Fekkai’s Glossing collection, including this Sheer Shine Mist, but if you need a little more help than just shine, opt for an anti-frizz gloss like this one by Got 2b. Check out the slideshow for all 10 shine-enhancing hair products!

blockquoteThis project is about concealing valuables, secrets, bad habits and personal information in our workplaces. Here, hidden spaces/messages were created within 8 general objects such as wood boards, lamps and disposable coffee cups… How? Utilize stereotypes and visual camouflage. We make judgments based mainly on our experiences and what we see. This dependency on visual information can create large blind spots. Thus, usual stereotypes of how we perceive solid, transparency and lighting are employed in this project to play with notions of ‘solid and void’, and ‘true and false’. /blockquote

Recession Chic: 10 Summer Hats Under $50!

imageWith the amount of money that goes into your hair, who wants to spend just as much to cover it up? But that’s no reason to go hatless! There’s always good reason to wear a hat in the summertime! To keep the sun out of your face, to cool down that hot body of yours, and of course, style! Straw materials, oversized and barely-there brims and straps are some of this summer‘s hottest hat trends — and all of them can be found at prices that won’t take you all summer to save up for! Hats are synonymous style for things like a day at the beach, shopping crawls and summer road trips, and when you’re saving up for doing fun summer activities like those, it would be silly to splurge when you don’t have to! Visit the slideshow to fall in love with one of these hats under $50 and pinch your pennies for something else this summer!

Nicola Zocca’s Bill Light: the brightness varies with the size of the bulb

div style=”align: right;”img src=”http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2010/06/bill-light3.jpg” width=”468″ height=”702″ alt=”bill-light3.jpg”//div

pa href=”http://nicolazocca.com/”Nicola Zocca/a started the Bill Light with a simple brief: to create a bulb with dimensions that vary in direct proportion with its brightness. The idea simplified even more when Nicola began using balloonsmdash;they approximate the shape of a light bulb, but the dimension is variable, creating a thinner wall as it gets larger, and, hence, producing a brighter light. /p

div style=”align: right;”img src=”http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2010/06/bill-light1.jpg” width=”468″ height=”349″ alt=”bill-light1.jpg”//div

pThough it’s easy not to notice, the mechanical system supporting the balloon gesture is executed frictionlessly, made from copper pipes normally used in domestic water heating systems. The electrical components and air pump don’t interfere with each other; the power supply cable exits the copper piping and jumps over the valve, allowing it to close. After pumping, the balloon stays well inflated, which means the entire system is airtight. To deflate, just open the valve and start anew. /p

Design Miami/Basel: Computation Made Fancy Design

pThe result of ‘Six-Forty by Four-Eighty’ is not 30.72, it is a mesmerizing combination of computation and design. For the last edition of Design Miami/Basel, American a href=”http://zigelbaumcoelho.com”Jamie Zigelbaum and Brazilian Marcelo Coelho/a created a multidisciplinary piece that was the most intriguing of all. /p

pIn a pitch dark room, 220 colorful magnetic tiles illuminated a wall. Each pixel had its own individual computer with LED light and a touchdown screen that could turn into thousands of different colors, though only a time. The installation was beautiful but, moreover, it was lots of fun. /p

pIt wasn’t until you approached it and started playing with it that you got the full experience. The visitor could move the pixels around, creating the desired pattern and leaving his or her own footprint in the design. But this kind of interaction wouldn’t be new in the design world. Coelho and Zigelbaum have created something else, something more spectacular and shocking./p

pWith the right hand you touch one of the extra large pixels, let’s say, a pink one. With the left hand, you touch another, a green one, for example. A few seconds later…. tada! They both had turned into the same color. The electrical impulses had traveled through your body from one extreme to another. In fact, the designers claim that they have managed to create a chain of eight people and it still works!/pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/design_miamibasel_computation_made_fancy_design__16832.asp”(more…)/a
