We’re really digging the new visual flair that digital technology is opening up to the advertising world. Now that blockbuster visual effects don’t have blockbuster price tags, one-minute and 30-second spots can afford to swing for the bleachers. This week’s edition of Thursday’s 3 Cool Videos is entirely devoted to imaginative mini-world-making, as showcased in [...]

As we continue our office redesign in pursuit of new media “quirky cool,” we’re thinking about getting a really obnoxious and over the top door knocker for the front door (and maybe, why not, for the conference room).
We weren’t really sure where to start our door knocker research (we don’t know any blacksmiths), but thankfully [...]

China gets a bum rap (and with good reason) for all kinds of humanitarian and environmental shortcomings and offenses, but there’s some good amidst all this bad. After all, a rapidly modernizing nation with inexhaustible financial and human resources can get just about anything it wants done (like, for instance, the 3 Gorges Dam project). [...]

To that end, we’ve been scouring the Interweb for pretty old school posters, and came across [...]

Last year, an ambitious plan to redesign the Tappan Zee Bridge just North of New York City got us all excited. After all, bridge construction in this city is basically a once-in-a-century sort of thing, and we had bold hopes for a nifty new bridge design because, let’s face it, nice solid 19th century structures [...]

We recently calculated that our chances of ever living in a home or apartment with more than one floor were pretty much non-existent, and ever since we’ve been wallowing in staircase withdrawal.
Helping us along through these dark times, the blog stair porn features some satisfyingly cathartic staircase designs, several of which are included in Fresh [...]

We here at Listicles are pretty devout design buffs, but the Interweb has a way of generating such a wealth of visually stunning design, art and architecture listicles that we really don’t have the time or space to pass them onto you.
Our catch-up list-of-lists, Weekly Wednesdays, is the perfect venue for us to give the [...]
