A pretty eye-opening look at just how much “stuff” your body makes in a year, from BuzzFeedVideo.

“Our new years compliment to our clients. A stamp with a “good design is for good clients” message. Our past and future work depends on working closely with our beautiful clients towards good results. These were partly hand made by Center Korak and local craftsmen, but it took us weeks to select wood and to design the stamp for this finished package.”

Spider Holster sent DO.t these awesome new camera holsters to review for you guys. 

We got these two clever little holsters in the post about a week ago to try out and so far we love ‘em! I’ve been on a mission for some time now to find the perfect solution for going strap free. I’ve never really got on with my camera strap it’s clunky often gets in the way. Like my workspace I like to keep things as simple as possible. The less wires and cables etc around me the better! Same goes when I’m out taking photos and video for clients. So when I found this interesting design solution I had to give it a go!  

The spider holster system works by screwing a ball joint at the bottom of your camera that then clips into a holster attached to your waist/belt. It comes in two versions the “black widow” a small lightweight belt clip and the “spider pro” a larger waist strap system designed to carry heavier weighted cameras. I’ve found both systems work well with almost any camera, from the pro heavy duty SLR with monster lenses to your small compact camera that just takes up too much space in your pocket. Although I did find my pants start falling down when I put too much weight on the black widow belt system! 

I’ll be honest, at first I found it a little unnerving walking around with a few thousand pounds worth of camera equipment strapped to my waist like some photographic cowboy.  But when you see the build quality of these things and how much it can withstand you start to relax and it becomes a lot more natural to just clip it in and go.

The plate that holds the ball joint in place is cleverly designed to let you screw it into your tripod mount so you don’t have to worry about fiddling with equipment when you should be getting your shot. Despite it being nice a sturdy plate I didn’t notice it too much when actually using the camera. It tucks in quite nicely and doesn’t get in the way when shooting.

This is a minimalistic typography I created for a college graphic design graphic design project. For this typeface I decided to reduce every letter to a geometric shape or an arrangement of flat shapes. In essence, the letters themselves aren’t actually letters, but simply a combination of overlapping shapes and colours, and nothing more.
