Chinagram by ToDo is a beautifully presented app for learning the meanings and origins of basic Chinese characters. It brings out the personality of each character, which is something really important for study.  http://www.todo.to.ithttp://itunes.apple.com/app/id494248653?mt=8

Ryoji Ikeda creates some incredible works based on data visualisation. I saw a viewing of his Data work at the Barbican last year - it completely melted my brain but it was definitely unforgettable.  purestform: data.anatomy [civic]Ryoji Ikeda data.anatomy [civic] is a new audiovisual installation by the acclaimed Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda, arising from a unique collaboration with Mitsuru Kariya, the development leader of the new Honda Civic car. Exhibited as a 3-screen video projection, data.anatomy [civic] immerses viewers in an intricate yet vast audiovisual composition derived from the entire data set of the car.

Borders, by Synoptic Office. Interesting poster series, focusing on the physical borders between nations. More powerful than I expected they’d be.  http://www.synopticoffice.com/project.php?projectid=2&selectedcol=1

Am getting pretty excited for the Dark Knight Rises. Nolan and co framed even the simplest shots beautifully in the Dark Knight, and here’s hoping that we’ll be treated to more of the same.

Would love to create an infographic that uses modular elements to create something as cool as this. The green triangles are a nice touch. designcube: James Bills “for I have tasted the fruit”

Genshiken is one of those rare anime series which is as honest as it is ridiculous. I’ve watched both series a couple of times and they still make me laugh. A perfect cross-section of hardcore otaku subculture.

Nice pic. There’s a real intricacy to the design of the decks, plus cables and neon always make stuff cooler.

Website for @oncarbure. The layout of the entry screen is really nicely done (text setting is great), and scrolling down for the flames is fun too. http://www.oncarbure.com/en.html

Really like the colours in this image. Seems simple, but there’s greens to purples, blues, to absolutely everything. congruensea: Jung Lee
