The XX have opened up and shared their new album "Coexist" with us a week before their physical album comes out on Sept. 11th on Young Turks.

Don't forget to also visit their site and share the album with friends, they put some serious time in making a visual mapping of the shared album and how it is globally being shared.  That is some sweet marketing right there. Enjoy!

Welcome to Playlist-41 in this months installment I wanted to bring down the feeling of summer and start in the mellow and chill sounds of Fall. We all remember the cool crisp air, falling leaves and changing colors so I wanted to make a mix that had a feeling of relaxation but still have a slight upbeat.  We have some artist like The xx, Cerulean, Holy Other and more.  Happy listening.

Grain Creative Pty is the designer behind the Wildfire Restaurant Wine label design. The Wildfire Restaurant is an iconic restaurant for Sydney Australia.  The concepts was based on the tradition of Venetian Theatre Masks. As with the wines, each mask represented a character, mood and it embraces the notion of mystery, joy, fun, playfulness and theatre, fitting of the dining experience at wildfire. So what do you think of the design?

Matthew Olin is the creator behind this series of Superhero Typographic Posters for his MFA Thesis Exhibition back in 2011. Here is what he had to say about this series.

"The most distinguishing factor of any font is its characters. Hidden beneath these characters, each typeface also has character—its own unique characteristics. However classified this information may seem, when used correctly, typefaces often speak to us more powerfully than the words that are written with them."

What I like most about these posters is the definition of the use of the font but it also goes along with each character that is being designed. I have only added a few see the rest here on Behance.

Wouldn't it be cool if your house could just get-up and walk to its next location? A Danish art studio N55 has made this possible with the innovative designed house with six hydraulic legs.  This solar powered Walking House was constructed out of steel and plywood. It comes equipped with a small kitchen, composting toilet, integrated furniture, comfortable bed, and a system that collects rain water. The houses walking abilities are controlled by a touch panel screen that allows the home to move at a slow pace while enjoying the landscape and having minimal impact on the environment.

For those of you with kids or the person who is constantly eating at your desk. This keyboard might be for you.  The Logitech Washable Keyboard with drainage holes is easy to clean and easy to dry.
