How do you feel about our new website layout? Wait… Hold on! Before you make up your mind, you need to know this just a rough beta, and needs much more brushing and meddling with. Still, I feel it’s much cleaner and simpler now. This design gives us more space, and allows me to implement [...]

Aerol E. Catubag created this simple, yet effective optical illusion involving colors! As Aerol explains, he discovered the illusion accidentally when trying to make a kaleidoscopic image. The illusion happens when you move your head back and forth. Watch the colors change their size, depending on your actions. For example, the blue box will seem [...]

Don’t ask me why, but somehow these kind of videos never get boring (at least speaking for myself)! The magical floating cube below was constructed by graphic designer Peter Dahmen.
