Trends / Cell Phone photography
April 9, 2008 | Trends | by Gerry Mak |
I’m one of those people who lament the death of analog film as a medium, not because I romanticize the process, but because I love the unpredictable imperfections inherent in non-digital formats. Read more

Trends / Evolution of Logos
February 16, 2008 | Trends | by Gerry Mak |
Personally, I think the new AT&T logo sucks. In attempting to make it look 3-D, the designers have also made it look like a scoop of ice-cream, not exactly what I associate with cellphones. Neatorama recently posted a rundown of how a few other iconic logos evolved. [while we’re on it, check out the Wolda design a logo competition]

Trends / USS New York
February 6, 2008 | Trends | by Gerry Mak |
No one should be surprised that the US Navy has used some of the steel from the World Trade Center to build a new state-of-the-art battle ship, but still — WTF? Hurricane Katrina delayed the construction of the USS New York in 2005, but when the 684-foot amphibious assault ship is completed, it will have a crew of 360 sailors and hold 700 combat-ready marines. The ship’s motto: ‘Never Forget’. [read about the nautical cushions of Reiter8]
