A Better Tomorrow seeks publisher

A Better Tomorrow showcases a diverse selection of work from members of QBN, representing all styles of outstanding visual media, including graphic design, illustration, and photography. The book is envisioned to paint a picture of the unique community that QBN is – a community that in spite of vast differences among its members (geographical, biographical, philosophical, and disciplinary) plays an important part, both professionally and personally, in the lives of the community members.

The book features the work of established designers such as, Andrew Townsend (Un.Titled), Michael C. Place (Build), Darren Firth (keepsmesane, wearitwithpride), Chuck Anderson (nopattern), Hellohikimori and many other up-and-coming designers.

The main aim of the project is to inspire donations [$50 per book] to the Patrick O’Brien Foundation and to strengthen the QBN community in ‘coming together’ for this cause. Patrick was one of the original editors, contributers and members whom was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2005 at the age of 30.

For the past couple of months the instigators have received, artworked and laid out all submissions and have been working with a well known publisher. But as of recently this partnership has ended, so they are looking for a new publisher that would be interested in this project. Please feel free to email // publishing@abettertomorrowbook.com if you have interest in helping this project come to fruition.

Impressive new site for Dutch agency Nothing by Group94. Quirky and fun, I particularly like the fact they built their impressive office out of cardboard…

Spotify is a new application similar to Last that allows you to listen to music (often complete) albums without illegally downloading them. Currently Beta only but I have a couple of invites left if anyone is interested…

An interesting way to minimise your Flickr photostream. Simply add your Flickr username to http://ihardlyknowher.com and you get a minimalist version of your photostream. It works for sets and collections too.

Or not, as the case may be. Fascinating (and pretty slick) collection of those annoying ‘loading’ pages for websites. Ironically, I wish it was slower…
