our studio just rebuilt product imagery for ceramicist Szilvassy. ~300 SKUs, a decade of variable quality product photos, shot professionally as well as on phones across different lighting conditions.
With a redesigned site launching, we felt it was critical to the look, feel and functionality of the experience to represent all SKUs as one cohesive, true-to-scale catalog.
Here's a quick peek at the system we developed, heavily relying on @floraai, @Shopify and @claudeai
product photos are claims about scale, surface and color:
@phantomcolor and I have been building a fresh site for an Australian ceramics studio and the hardest part wasn’t the new visual strategy… it was an existing product catalogue with pieces shot every which way: pro shoots, half way e-comm, iPhone with zero sense of scale between SKUs
reshooting wasn’t on the table, so we built the fix in @floraai instead

‘reason NYcity is disfunctional is due to it not having a collective rythm of sleeping in sync with daylight.

grok thinks that’s ‘Unlikely. NYC’s 24/7 economy requires night shifts and artificial light, which do disrupt circadian rhythms and raise health costs, but those are secondary. Core dysfunction (crime, housing, services, fiscal strain) tracks policy, density, and incentives more than collective sleep schedules. Many high-functioning cities run the same night economy.’

Excellent PopUp by @jugendingenieur with everything you’d expect the industrial / engineering / product / packaging / graphic design visionaries to show up with in a physical space.
776NYC is open.
A public retail space that’s always evolving, but always celebrating progress.
A physical expression of our optimism at 776 about what’s possible when we keep building.
Our first residency: the iconic @jugendingenieur.
Come see for yourself at 216 Lafayette.

Tools as Extensions of the Mind
An apt framework for working with today's generative tools from the 1960s from 'Augmenting Human Intellect' by Douglas Engelbart:
Man's population and gross product are increasing at a considerable rate, but the complexity of his problems grows still faster, and the urgency with which solutions must be found becomes steadily greater in response to the increased rate of activity and the increasingly global nature of that activity. Augmenting man's intellect [...] would warrant full pursuit by an enlightened society if there could be shown a reasonable approach and some plausible benefits.

Excellent example of an adaptive world model interface.
Case in point, daylight interaction within the architectural domain.

This is excellent
Interfaces that are generated, not coded.
Solaris is our first step toward our vision of end-to-end neural software, where user interfaces are streamed directly onto your screen by a real-time video model, without any intermediate code or HTML/CSS. Today we're releasing a technical report and opening it up for limited testing by the community.
Amazing work by the team, combining the best of our research in general world models with Runway's HCI spirit.

最近たまに見かける「インセプション風の曲面マップ」、ナビアプリに実装されたら手前と遠くが同時に見渡せて意外と便利そう。

This is why the future of the constructed world will look more and more organic.
Material cost constraints are finally forcing us to cut away bulk, leading to more and organic shapes!
Biophilic design by necesessity.

ironic that the one app with THIS icon is utterly incapable of adapting to the future (present?) of vector design!
zero agent control, stitched together from ancient code, deprecated scripting, sluggggish... kills me to have to open this shit... unless @Adobe is doing a ground-up rewrite, I don't see it surviving the year.
what are you all switching to? @Affinity, @figma,... ?
