Tableau: Physical Email

This really is one of the most beautiful ideas i've seen in all year. John Kestner's Tableau is a repurposed nightstand that stores and retrieves memories using a twitter account, bridging physical and digital media. It quietly drops photos it sees on its Twitter feed into the drawer, for the owner to discover. Images of things placed in the drawer are posted to its account as well.

Shop Vac Kinetic Type Animation

Amongst the plethora of kinetic typography out there this is one of the best examples i've seen to date. A little ropey at the start but some gorgeous design as it progresses. All created by animator Jarrett Heather for Jonathan Coulton's track Shop-Vac.

 

Handmade Ads for a Handmade Beer

Cossette have teamed up with Canadian Brewery La Korrigane and 100 illustrators and graphic designers to create a series of handmade ads. A lovely way for a handmade beer to tell it's story.
