Adobe brings 3D Printing to Photoshop
We’re getting closer to the world of 3D Printing! The latest update from Adobe gives us more capabilities in Photoshop CC for 3D printing design and application – as printers from MakerBot and others become more affordable and mainstream.
Not only that, but if you don’t have a 3D printer, Adobe has made it easy to use SketchFab and other online solutions to share your printable models – so you can order your 3D printed objects from vendors.

The College Report That Started Google
Read the original report on Google by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page – the school project at Stanford University that began the Search Engine mecca you know today.
This amazing article, a shorter version of their entire project, is still original and unedited.
Amazing to consider that Google originally contained a database of 24 million pages, on 109gb of disk space. By comparison, most home computers now come with 500gb of disk space!
Today, it’s reported that Google contains an index of over 45 billion pages! [source]
Though Google has changed a lot since then, if you’re interested in the base of how they pioneered the Search Engine industry, this is a great read. If you’re into Social Media, Page Rank, how to get better ranking in Google, or Search Engine Optimization – this is a necessary read!
The Most Inspiring History of the Internet
We Built This World Wide Web. Look at what we’ve accomplished. To you, it’s just web development. Creating websites. Search Engines. Something about hashtags and cat photos.
To us, it is a land of opportunity. But it wasn’t always this way. From the evolution of generation after generation. Text Pages to Streaming Video. Geocities to Gmail. The internet in your pocket. Yes, time’s have changed. But there was no template. Web developers across the globe paved the way, and for this, we salute you.
This video will inspire you. If you work in web design, hold your head high.
9 Minute Graduate Speech That’s Brilliant
If you watch one thing today, watch this. “This is Water” is an animation short from the graduate speech by David Foster Wallace, an award winning American novelist. It might put your world in perspective, but further the video artfully illustrates the speech in perfect harmony, bringing the words to life as 9 minutes of your life blissfully gain meaning.
The speech is brilliant, but what makes the video a success? Creative animations combined with typography of a certain hand drawn looking slab serif font. This creates branding through the video, with the typography helping set the mood and keeping focus on the meaning of the words, while still being artful in presentation.

New York pushes for Calorie Content Labels with a Twist
New York is proposing a new food label campaign – that displays how much exercise you’d need to work of that many calories. Just one bottle of soda or juice can equal 50 minutes of running or other cardio to burn off the fatty calories from sugar – but what we’re interested in is the physical nature of the campaign. The design! The execution!
The campaign so far has featured posters showing a map of the 3 miles you’d have to walk to burn off 20-onces of soda – from Union Square in Manhattan to Brooklyn – In the NYC Subway System.
We love this change, as the focus on what’s in our food becomes more clear, eating healthy is also easier when the facts are presented to everyone.
