Welcome!
In this big internet jungle it's so many good and bad design blogs and websites for people like us (involuntarily curious and addicted to news feeds about everything that has to do with design and culture/events). That's why we decided to have our own blog where the idea is that we post all the fun and interesting stuff we find out there. This is where we write our hearts out!

We've chosen the name Playmedesign so everybody can look at this blog as an open playground to play in ;)

Spread the word-
Let's play!

Julia

P.S. Please contact us if you have any designs you would like us to see, if you have some feedback or ideas for our blog: contact@playmedesign.com

NYtimes article on Bionic Arm Woman. Creepy video of her psychic arm control too.

Drawing on personal experience, I've created a piece of jewelry which could almost be considered a "twist" on the traditional 2-piece "best friend necklace:" using one Arabic word and one Hebrew word to form the phrase "minor differences".

manifest's new brand and site is a fresh, interactive look at an "agency" site. Focusing on what is important. The work. The people. The atmosphere.

Dancing Japanese biker gang! Great new video for Peter Bjorn and John's "Nothing to worry about". Japan takes rockabilly to the next level.

Apparently people are extra vigilant about looking out for signs of bad luck on Friday 13th, so on that day a team of black cats (a traditional sign of bad luck) dressed in little F.E.A.R 2 branded jackets and cat harnesses, will hit the streets of London with their trainers hoping to capture the attention of superstitious shoppers.

Jumbo Hostel: an aging 747 transformed into a low-cost, fully-furnished hostel that is perfect for overnight accommodation.

The Seattle Public Library is by far my favorite building ever. It´s not just the materials, the lights or the furniture... it´s how a traditional library becomes more than just a mere shelve for books, but a public space around knowledge.

A brilliant, modern twist of old-school proverbs. 65 Modern Proverbs by Nikki Farquharson.

Zelda II - translated into Latin (at last?)
