Creative agency Nomoon put together this animated tribute to the last 70 years of the iconic little scooters, from 1943 to 2013. I had no idea Vespa made a car or a military scooter. Pick the right one and get ready for your summer vacation.

The tongue-in-cheek short animation Are you IN or OUT? compares what’s IN (slow food, analog cameras) versus what’s OUT (fast food, digital cameras). The animation was created by Paris-based motion design agency 2 FACTORY.

I thought the bermuda shorts were supposed to prevent sweating.

How wrong I was!

Are you tired of carrying around the extra pounds? Here is your summer solution…

If you want to spend a great summer night under a star-filled sky S1-80 S1-81 is what you need. Unlike other wearable sleeping bags, the S1-80 S1-81 sleeping bags can be worn without making you look like the Michelin Man. The sack at the bottom can be separated from the upper half, which can be worn with or without its hood.

Hong Kong-based creative studio Little Factory has created a striking scarf that is made with letters from the popular Helvetica typeface. This collection was inspired by Chinese paper cutting, one of the country’s most popular forms of folk art. The scarf is made of Microfiber Suede and laser cut to the pattern. 

If he were still with us, Stanley Kubrick would be 85 today. Animator and Kubrick fan Shaun Pitz created this short tribute to the visionary director, which expands upon the journey of the mythical monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
