Iconic

Le Duo – Ideat

French design and illustration team Le Duo has posted some really nice work on their site that was done for the magazine Ideat. The works feature iconic furniture and architecture, rendered in a clean minimalist style with bright color pallets. Very cool stuff, that sizes right for your smartphone screen if you are so inclined.

Iconic Black and White Photo’s Colorized.

I’m not a huge fan of the colorization process that gets applied to black and white films. I know why it’s done (younger audiences apparently don’t like black and white film, or so I am told) but I still don’t like it. Even though the process has gotten better, it still seems fake. The same is true for still images. Most of the time, the colorized version looks wrong, for what ever reason. The images below however, are anything but. Most of these examples show the outstanding Photoshop skills used to colorize them.
