ART: Plexus No. 19 by Gabriel Dawe
At first glance, you’d think this was a hologram or a projected image. It’s amazing how someone could have the patience to ensure each piece of thread was in place in order to come up with this as the final product. Intensive labor and love for art (#shitwelove).
Artist Gabriel Dawe created Plexus no. 19, a stunning thread installation that’s beautifully spread across two balconies in the atrium of a historic villa. The early 19th century neoclassic house, called Villa Olmo, was acquired in 1924 by the municipality of Como and is now open to the public only during cultural events and art exhibitions like this.

MIGHTY DEALS (email newsletter)
I'm a big fan of this system. Mostly for WEB DESIGN, they offer discounts on products that I use often (GUI kits, discounted ebooks from Smashing magazine, WordPress templates, fonts, icon packs, graphics, etc). Emails get sent out once or twice a week.
Tip: They usually have some sort of discount code that you can search for before you complete your purchase.

great example of how photography can enhance the view of a traditional identity system. Note the varying angles, views and inclusion of other elements.
NOTE: these are not my projects.
