The Digital Wallet

September 27th, 2012 | Posted by Zack Group in technology - (0 Comments)

A pretty intriguing article on the beginning of digital wallets now that Apple has come out
with the Passbook app in IO6 and Google with it’s own digital wallet which allows you to organize things like tickets, coupons and memberships.

It seems crazy to think that actual paper money, credit cards, ID, etc. might become completely obsolete but then again it’s happening to music. When’s the last time you bought an actual CD?

Check out these very sculpture-like furniture designs made from recycled bike parts.

Great idea to repurpose these wasted bikes and make something attractive and trendy. This kind of thinking could really spread to all kinds of everyday objects.

QUACK: A lighthearted dog muzzle

September 20th, 2012 | Posted by Zack Group in industrial design - (0 Comments)

The Japanese came up with an idea on how to change the traditional brutal-looking dog muzzles into something more pleasant. OPPO created a funny muzzle for dogs called Quack that is shaped like a duck’s bill. Put it on your dog’s head and you’ll have a four-legged friendly duck. Hopefully your dog won’t get too offended by this accessory.

Interesting brand redesign with several applications off a basic circle shape. An example of the ultra simplification trend of today’s brand identities.
