Though residing in the renowned tourist spot of fancy lights and buildings, Las Vegas, should be interesting, Demi knows it's just another ordinary home with frustrating, forever-shifting weather. Meanwhile, she tries to find a caprice of clear senses. She might blog about it all at DesignCube or simply rest her eyes within the phosphenes.

The covers are set to be auctioned off [...]

Welcome to a book lover’s paradise. The streets of Melbourne have been installed with 10,000 discarded books, overflowing and filling in empty public spaces with pure, serene literature. The lovely pages were lit up with LEDs to create a scene for the modest power of the written word. On the last night of the one-month installation, visitors were offered to take home the overflowing books, and even some passerby cars were gifted with these. This ephemeral installation, by Luzinterruptus, reflects the wonder of books and its grand balance of words and imagination.

Life is mostly defined by materialistic needs. It’s always about needing, wanting, buying, consuming, and many more verbs. Yet some things are “priceless” and can’t be bought because they are non-existent. Which is why the Flow Market is selling these non-existent items. As an art concept, the Flow Market creates empty sealed cans filled with immaterial needs. In other words, the cans represent trust, compassion, lonely time, self-love. Filling the void of something lacking in life by creating materialistic cans is one way of showing how qualities in each individual can be reflected and improved on.

Once again, another brilliant wordplay using fonts as the target. This typography series by Daniel Vind Graversen has shown how words can be manipulated to form new phrases that substitute old cliches. Being a font fanatic, these posters are quite humorous. Even if you aren’t a font enthusiast, this black and white poster series will bring a smile at least. You can also buy Graversen’s typography prints on Society6.

Who says you can’t write your name with galaxies?! This stellar website (pun intended) writes messages in real galaxies in the form of the alphabet. Each galaxy that resembles a letter is generated according to the message the user wants to ‘galaxify’. Users can generate different combinations of galaxies to best resemble their phrase. Once generated, users can save the image and look at what galaxies were used in the image. I’ve used Lost At E Minor as an example for the galaxy images. Now go Galaxify!

A little cardboard here, a gallon of black paint there, and some tape and cotton rags down here – now time to destroy and photograph these sculptures! We all need a little abstract and modernism in our lives, which Zander Blom has envisioned in his installation/photography The Drain of Progress.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? True when one is bound to a mark of secrecy, guilt or regret, but Candy Chang’s Confessions invites people to confess about whatever troubles their mind. People anonymously shared their confessions on wooden plaques in the P3 Studio at The Cosmopolitan. Along with her team, she exhibited the wooden plaques by hanging them on the walls and also painting select responses onto large red canvases.
