I love this hilarious ads for Setapp, by London agency Droga5. Setapp is an application tool that helps to focus on your current task and work flow, without distractions. I can relate, we’ve all been there!

To all graphic designers: Remember when you had to take a photo of an object, import into Photoshop, make a clipping path around it and finally place it in its final position?
Paris-based designer and artist Cyril Diagne recently launched the prototype for an amazing new image editing program where you can directly cut and paste your surroundings into Photoshop. The way it works is, when you take a photograph with AR Cut & Paste, the software finds the objects and automatically removes their backgrounds.
It is not final product yet, but apparently you can download it from GitHub.
I found two Astronaut Lights last night. I just love them both!

Vienna-based designer Klemens Schillinger has created a set of “substitute phones” for smartphone-addicts. Instead of a touchscreen, there is only a series of stone beads to use for swiping and scrolling.
The School of Life created Phone Detox, a palm-sized book filled with insights, ideas and meditations about the complex relationship we have with our phones.
Ken Wong is the amazing Australian game designer and artist, behind the game Monument Valley, which won an Apple Design Award and two BAFTA Game Awards. He recently founded a new craft games studio called Mountains and just released a new and very interesting game. It is called Florence, and it is an intimate love story experienced through a game.
From the creator’s description: “Florence is an interactive storybook from the award-winning lead designer of Monument Valley about the heart-racing highs and heartbreaking lows of a young woman’s very first love.
Florence Yeoh feels a little… stuck. Her life is an endless routine of work, sleep, and spending too much time on social media. Then one day, she meets a cello player named Krish who changes everything about how she sees the world and herself.
Experience every beat of Florence and Krish’s relationship through a series of mini-game vignettes – from flirting to fighting, from helping each other grow… to growing apart. Drawing inspiration from ‘slice of life’ graphic novels and webcomics, Florence is an intimate and unforgettable story.”

The brand new Spike Jonze ad for Apple, starring dancer/singer FKA Twigs, promoting its HomePod music system.
I don’t know if most people know this already, but I just found out that you can use Photoshop’s eyedropper tool to pick colours outside of Photoshop itself!
“Just click in your photoshop document, hold, and drag the eyedropper outside to whatever pixel you want.
You have to *start* the color selection within PS, but it can *end* wherever you’re able to move your mouse to.”
As simple as that!
