freedom tower

The Lower Manhattan Development Group has released the latest and hopefully final plan for the Freedom Tower. The Freedom Tower looks vastly different now than it did when it first was introduced.

Heh, someone’s hand was caught in the scanner during a Google Book Search scan. [via]

These 32 World Cup soccer balls visually show you the state in which each country that qualified for the World Cup is in by incorporating specific textures, materials, and looks. Visually speaking, I like how the Trinidad + Tobago ball came out. [via]
This reminds me a lot of the Meet The World flag campaign I posted a while back. Very interesting, indeed.

I keep catching short takes of the World Cup games here and there as I pass by sports bars in the city, so I never actually get a chance to see a full game. To make an attempt at catching a game, I have subscribed [temporarily] to this World Cup 2006 US TV Schedule Google Calendar. If you want to subscribe to the same calendar, just click that link and add it to your Google Calendar. Don’t use Google Calendar? WHY NOT?!

I really wish I could work at a place like National Forest, a “creative think-tank” that specializes in making outstanding visual elements and components to grab users’ (or consumers’) attention. I’m in no way even near their creative abilities, but I would certainly love to be immersed in it 24/7.
Currently featured on the front page of their website is the ElementEndangered Series” designs. I really dig those boards. Top notch designs. They’ve helped Element design some other stuff as well. Do check those out in their projects section.
And as I’ve mentioned before, I think Element has one of the best company logos of any company that I know of. :)

fj cruiser

The new Toyota FJ Cruiser has been popping up all over town. I love it. It’s such a nice looking SUV and certainly a welcome addition to any road that I may be driving on.
Check out the Toyota FJ Cruiser minisite for some more info. The minisite has some awesome videos of the FJ Cruiser crossing over some pretty rough terrain and coming out unscathed. I really love the line drawings/videos of the vehicle as well. A nice looking site, to say the least.
Since the FJ Cruiser is part of the Land Cruiser family, Toyota has also put up a site to celebrate the 55-year heritage of the vehicle and what it has done to bring the world closer together.
See more photos here.

Product Dose re-launches with a new look. It is now ten times better all around with the addition of tabbed pages and personalization. Go take a look.

Have a good day! Leave some.
