Worldwide Telescope website
“The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a computer program created by Microsoft running under either a Microsoft Windows client or a new cross platform web client based on Silverlight which allows its users to view outer space. It was announced at the TED Conference in Monterey, California in February, 2008. Users are able to pan around outer space and zoom as far into any one area as the data will allow. Images are taken from the Hubble Space Telescope and approximately ten earth-bound telescopes. It is possible to view the sky in many wavelengths of light.” – Read about it more on Wikipedia.
As I review the latest IDN, Print and Communication Arts magazines, I see this evolution from the resurgence of Swiss/Dutch: minimal design aesthetic towards a more artistic, illustrative, and expressive new phase- that (er, uhm) regurgatates the 60’s overprinting techniques with the cookiness of early 70’s marketing illustrations with the fashion of the 80’s but the indie-hipsterness of the now-2010.
What I want to know is how this new ’style’ (for lack of a better word) will fit in to what we do at our studio. We don’t make posters for bands for a living. I don’t see the next-gen interfaces hand drawn with pencil. So when illustration becomes mainstream design, I’m feelin a backlash- aren’t you?! It’s not that I don’t love it- maybe I’m just jealous…
For when you need inspiration, photo resources or to pass the time:

I love it when you and I are the only two people on this blog and we can write to each other… even though we sit right next to each other. It’s like I feel like I can say anything I want on this blog… even though I don’t really edit myself to you when we speak in person. Thank god for this blog… where I have to edit!
