BMW Efficient Dynamics Concept Car



BMW have unveiled the Vision concept car which is a 2+2 seater that uses full-hybrid technology. The powertrain provides a top speed limited electronically to 155 mph, with acceleration to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is 3.76 liters/100 kilometers, equal to 62.6 mpg, and the CO2 emission rating is 99 grams per kilometer. The overrall system output is 356 horsepower. I think this might be one of the most stylish hybrids that would ever come out. I hope they make it in black.

The Making of Blueprint 3 Cover



This is the footage of the creative process of making the "Blueprint 3" cover. The London based photographer Dan Tobin Smith was the visionary who made a previous artwork called "The Letter E" which inspired this artwork for this Blueprint album cover.

Here is an excerpt of the interview with Dan Tobin Smith about the Blueprint 3 cover from Itsnicethat and the photo of "The Letter E":

Greg Burke, the creative director on the project at Atlantic records had seen the Letter ‘E’ I had shot with the set designer Nicola Yeoman and I guess he had it in the back of his mind when he was thinking of ideas for Jay Z’s new artwork for Blueprint 3. I think Greg and Jay Z had lots of ideas about what the album meant and it seemed to be about taking it back to the source, in terms of the music itself and then subsequently the artwork. For the album and the idea was it was very much about the music and all the things that make music. The 3 is represented by 3 bars which is of course the old way of writing ‘3’ so that seemed to work really nicely with the idea behind the album and the set design that evolved. We all liked the idea that the installation was almost machine like, like all these things were interlinked. That’s why everything is packed and jumbled together. Like it had kind of grown out of this corner.

I think it was a brave approach for Jay Z as all his previous albums have had him on them. I love still life, and the way I shoot is quite old school. It took 3 days to shoot, was all shot on 10×8 inch film, so the quality in the whites is fantastic, so much subtle tone. We worked long and hard on the colour work on the post and even in a single page mag advert I can see that effort. You could blow the image up to the size of a building and it would still hold up. It seems the album is about that old school crafted production so its nice that that same method went into the shoot.

Performance: Jay-z, Alicia Keys, & Lil Mama "Empire State of Mind"



I know everyone probably seen it last night and watched it a millions times today but we had to post this one. The performance was crazy. It made you really proud to be from the greatest city in the world NEW YORK CITY but it was also hilarious to see lil mama catch holy ghost and just jump on stage like she was part of the show. Even more hilarious was the #lilmamis trending topic on twitter, and the photoshop pictures of her circulating on the web. I wish we could get Jay-z's reaction after he got off stage.

Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2009 Low Top Strap Sneaker



If you remember, we posted the full fall line of Louis Vuitton fall 09 last month. It seems that Louis Vuitton will have the low top strap sneaker as the lead-off sneaker for the fall line. The sneaker comes with a leather/suede upper and a strap over the laces. We like that they kept the branding to a minimum. Look out for a release soon.
