Inspiration: Tim Burton

What if all the posters of Tim Burton’s movies were re-imagined in his style?

Can’t get enough of these brilliantly simple, yet perfectly apt posters. A hint of the macabre here, a dash of nonchalance there.

Some of my favourites:

Pac-Man: Unsung Heroes

Everyone loves Pac-Man. It’s a classic game, easy to play and transcends all ages. But few ever think about the ghosts that he eats / runs away from (depending on whether you’ve got him to eat the flashing dot). To be fair, they are the villains in the game and everybody roots for the hero, so…

Anyway, as everyone knows, Pac-Man recently turned 30, and Google paid tribute on its landing page by turning its logo into a web-based version of the classic game.

Well, it’s two weeks later and Pac-Man fever does not seem to have died down at all, judging by this guide to Pac-Man Ghosts, which includes the regular ones in addition to more exotic species. Finally, the ghosts seem to say, someone that appreciates us!

Don’t you just love the Kim Jong Il and the KISS versions?! Hello Kitty freaks me out a little though, but perhaps that’s just my inner Hello Kitty-hating self speaking.

Happy Monday everyone! Here’s to surviving another week.

We’ve Got a Bleeder!

note the book used as a stand since tables are too dirty for this baby

The iPad is a quark for digesting information. Or a quirky quark for alliterate whores out there. Wielding it as Prometheus would a lighted torch, the way the old world interacts with videos, pictures and bits of alphabets suddenly becomes unacceptable.

If “I want one!” popped up in your head as Tony Stark did porn with his user interface (and by extension Jarvis), then you’d definitely appreciate what the touch interface on the iPad is capable of. To be fair the display still isn’t enmeshed with googles of data like Tony’s but the potential permutations and flexibility in presenting information is still gigantitaninormous!

We’re still in the nascent days of commercial touch based computing but with millions around the world already comfortable with it, it’s only a matter of time until the Library of Congress is indexed and connected seamlessly for us to twirl, enlarge and examine as we’d please.

So forget tablet PCs, open a museum for your mouse and use your stylus to hold up your hair – for ladies and Korean boys – because once your fingers meet the iPad there’s no going back.

Photoshop kicks it up a notch

This is INSANE. SERIOUSLY. Just watch. No need to keep calm though. I didn’t.

I’m still finding it hard to believe. Viral or not? Tell us in your comments!

Keeping abreast of things.

Instructables constantly comes up with the most ingenious items to make. But the Voloptuous Pillow Chairs really takes the cake. For all our hot-blooded male readers out there, what would you give just to nuzzle into these cushy, erm, breasts?
