Web - Color chart

Color Chart (reinventing color - 1950 to today) is a MOMA exhibition - going on until the 12th of May.

"This exhibition takes as its point of departure the commercial color chart, an item that openly declares the status of color as mass-produced and standardized."

For those who can't make it to NY, have a look at the site - A very nice experience and beautiful navigation system.

Enjoy!

Twitter - Quiet time

Here's another very nicely designed *error/notification* page!
Note the heart preceding "the Twitter team".

Yes, my Twitter love keeps growing day by day.

Twitter - 404!

This is possibly the best/cutest/sexiest Error page I've seen on the net. I love the graphics, they're just great.

Then again, Twitter is great, so I wouldn't expect anything less than that from them.

Web - The sheep market

The sheep market is a collection of 10000 sheep created by workers on Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Each worker was paid $.02 to draw a sheep facing left.

For 20$, you can buy a selection of hand drawn sheep - (a block of stamps that comes with a certificate of authenticity in a collectable package).

*Hilarious*
Own a sheep here.

Design - Nostalgia

I came across this chart showing the evolution of the Nintendo characters on Ffffound and had to share it.

I have a feeling all the web designers out there will look at it with a smile and remember the days when pixel icons/graphics were THE big thing - until the slick Aqua renderings became trendy.

The only detail missing is the inclusion of some kind of a timeline/dates - just for reference.
