Markus Reugels’ stunning photography of water in motion. Writes FastCo. Design:
The water droplet is the quintessential cliché of high-speed photography. Any Internet search will produce a dizzying number of bursting and rippling liquid surfaces. Yet in the right hands, even the familiar can be extraordinary. Markus Reugels, a German amateur photographer who has perfected the theme, has produced an exhaustive catalog of his favorite subject captured in every conceivable, fleeting pose.
Italian artist Alberto Seveso took high-speed photos of inks mixing underwater to create the above image. The story appears on Design Milk, a site new to me but full of luscious design in all categories.
The firm Loyal Kaspar redid the brand and logo for the Travel Channel, and write about the thinking behind it, as well as offering a lot of interstitials for your enjoyment.
The branding relies on a combination of a custom hand-drawn font and a “home-movie” style of cinematography to reposition the cable channel away from journeys to exotic locales to a focus on interesting journeys to places closer to home, all fitting with the “new slate of talent-driven programming.”
