Webby Nomination Apr 25, 12, 4:23 p.m.

Hey guys,

A website that I art directed is up for a Webby award, and there is a people's choice vote.

You can visit the site here:
www.nagomibento.com.au

And you can vote here:
http://pv.webbyawards.com/ballot…

The original concept replaced the cursor with large chopsticks so the site was more gesture based, there was going to be animated origami and the sushi mat would actually roll out. Unfortunately all these cool things never came to be. The client also did a pretty bad job on the content sadly.. Nonetheless it is up for an award that I would really like to win, and would appreciate any votes you would be willing to give :)

It is also the only Australian site to be nominated so far in the awards (that we can tell.)

Pebble Watch Apr 16, 12, 12:07 a.m.

The inner geek in me says awesome.

"Pebble is the first watch built for the 21st century. It's infinitely customizable, with beautiful downloadable watchfaces and useful internet-connected apps. Pebble connects to iPhone and Android smartphones using Bluetooth, alerting you with a silent vibration to incoming calls, emails and messages. While designing Pebble, we strove to create a minimalist yet fashionable product that seamlessly blends into everyday life."

25 today. Nov 30, 11, 6:11 p.m.

Damn the first 5 years of my 20s have gone past too quickly. It saddens me to think I'm now closer to 30 than 20 lol.. still so much partying and fun to be had before I "grow up".

Cheers qoob.

Very cool practical example of the rendering power that's now available in flash.

We started building a tech demo like this ourselves with a 250,000 polygon model of a car the other day and it was looking beautiful using away3D, a shame that ours was only that. Digitas beat us to the mark well and truly :(

I'm an iPad owner, and it makes me sad to think I'll probably not see anything like this in it's browser for a while..

Illustrator Cs5 Issues Oct 25, 11, 6:20 p.m.

Hey guys,

Illustrator keeps saving out files and in the process the gradients are getting lost. The objects which have gradients get filled with 100% black when you re-open the file..

Anyone else had this problem??

"Blakely & Llyod"

Have run it through what the font but not getting any results. Can't put my finger on it - but the ampersand is particularly familiar. Any suggestions?

Cheers in advance.

Keen Aug 23, 11, 12:38 a.m.

So today a delivery man came into the office with a large box. Curiously, it was a delivery for a small design shop who share some of our office space.

They ordered 20,000 business cards in 1 type of card for a small restaurant starting up locally. That's pretty keen.

lolllll

Anyone else had similar experiences with clients/agencies ordering retarded amounts of things they simply will never use or need?

Just doing a bit of casual browsing in css galleries and came across http://www.ambermiro.com

It may of been inspired by http://jpedrazzini.com/ but I'm not quite sure? :D

Great quotes -

"World-class creative isn't conjured from thin air
— it's cultivated."

"Not only do I provide you with a unique design, I research your main competitors to guarantee a site will look and function at the top of your class."

Aller Sans Jan 5, 11, 8:47 p.m.

Hey guys,

Anyone familiar with the licensing on Aller for web use?

Hoping to use this on a site - from what I understand reading the license, it is ok to embed on a site using css as long as the amount of users does not exceed 1000 per day.

Happy Birthday Nov 30, 10, 4:08 p.m.

24 today.

Thanks to all of you for another great year of QBN, the highs, the lows, the bannings, flaming & general bullshit that makes this place great.

A special shoutout to the attending members of various QBN Brisbane Drinks, glad to call you my friends :)

The bible's contradictions visualized. Nov 17, 10, 1:32 a.m.

Visualization of the contradictions in the Bible taken from The Scripture Project by Steve Wells (see the Projects section of http://www.reasonproject.org).
The bars that run along the bottom of the visualization represent the 1189 chapters in The Bible, with the length of each bar corresponding to the number of verses in each chapter. White bars represent the Old Testament and grey bars represent The New Testament. Each arc indicates a contradiction.

Timeline me if you want, I couldn't find this in search. Pretty Insane!

Insurance Websites Aug 9, 10, 7:12 p.m.

Seen any good ones in terms of design? List them here...

Business Cards in Australia Jul 3, 10, 5:43 p.m.

Doing some for my girlfriends father, a very well respected and accomplished structural engineer/designer. Trying to aim for something really premium but understated.

First of all,

Anyone have any guesses as to what stock they have used in these? Looks like a thicker card too maybe around 400gsm?

Secondly -
Any reccommended printers in Australia preferrably Brisbane? Price is not really an issue if the quality is there :)

Chimpanzee Rapes a Toad Jun 17, 10, 11:45 p.m.

Don't know if this has been posted yet.

It might be NSFW? I can't really decide. But its pretty fucking epic.

They're just like real people! lol

Brisbane Drinks Jun 7, 10, 11:59 p.m.

How many people around and who is keen?

I'd say a bar somewhere in the valley or west end on a week night to avoid the trash crowds..

Trademarks May 17, 10, 4:39 p.m.

Do they need to be registered on a per country basis in order to be enforced?
