I’ve nopticed these new, extended sitelinks about a week or two ago, but it seems they are now here to stay. They are 12 links deep, with a snapshot of each page under teh corresponding link, and take up about 90% of the results page. What search terms do they show up for? What do they mean for your business? How to get them? All that and some images after the jump.
Via the Pantone Facebook page, I found this little gem: an online colour vision test that mimics the Farnsworth D-100 sorting test (only this one has 88 chips instead of 100).

If you read this blog before you’ll know I’m a fan of Annie Leibovitz. I also happen to love Angelina Jolie for a whole lot of reasons. I’m not into the whole Louis Vuitton “brand yourself as middle class by hanging a bag that spells its label on your shoulder” kind of thing, but that’s irrelevant: they are at this point in time the world’s biggest luxury brand, ahead of Hermes.
And yet, despite this formidable partnership comes a floppy campaign, based on a lie, bad Photoshopping and a complete disconnect between the brand values and the said campaign.

I found Dana Tanamachi’s work a while back via Dribbble – she’s pure magic with the cheapest of materials: chalk. Photos a video after the jump, and make sure you head over to her wonderful chalk lettering website fore more beautiful illustrations.
Lactobar Retro-Bistro is a new and very popular restaurant in Oradea, Romania (Lactobar means milk bar, in Romanian). Obviously, the drink of choice is not milk, but bear, however what’s interesting about this joint is the outlandish, crazy, cool and perfectly kitsch decor.
From an old Romanian car embedded into the wall to doilies, old newspapers, tapes, dolls and vacuum cleaners, this place reuses all the odds and ends one usually finds in one’s attic or grandmother’s house – and mashes them into a highly polished, friendly collage.
Sheer genius, it reminds me a bit of the Kitsch Museum, opened in Bucharest sometime during the early 00s. Anyway, lots of images – and a video – after the jump!

So I spent most of May and a good part of June travelling Europe with my husband – it was a wonderful, wonderful vacation: we ate our way through loads of good food; we drank too much and walked 10-12 hours a day. We visited Paris, London, Florence, Rome and finally my city of birth, Bucharest. We came back thin, exhausted, enthralled and with some 3000+ photographs, which I’ll now have to sort out. Only fair, I took most of them. New camera. Couldn’t help myself.
Anyways, while making full use of my new zoom lens I took more than 100 photos of lions, all around Europe. I don’t think I ever appreciated how important the lion is in the art and heraldry of Europe until I started noticing it everywhere.

I woke up this morning to an interesting story: Markets for Change and GetUp have put together a controversial ad about Harvey Norman (Australian furniture retailer) contributing to Australian deforestation by their timber sourcing policies. The ad was subsequently banned, and an irate George Harvey came on television to say he’s getting aggressive emails from his customers threatening to never buy again.
