Word of the Day

Vignette (n./v., vin-YETTE)

A brief, illustrative definition or story, or a photo that fades into the background without a clear border, or to show someone in a vignette. The first definition is the most common. Today's Link has a good example of it.

1000 Changing Colors Puzzle

A few years ago, I gave a designer friend a 1000-piece gradient jigsaw puzzle for Christmas. He texted me a photo one Sunday afternoon, saying, "Great. The border is done. Now what?" I'm not sure the puzzle was ever finished, but there's now a new, even more evil puzzle:

1000 CHANGING COLOURS is a colour gamut jigsaw puzzle of 1000 pieces in which each individual tile has two distinct colour states from intersecting gradients of colour. Printed in Poland using a lenticular lens, the colours change depending on the angle of view, resulting in a radiant iridescence that shimmers in beautiful colour combinations.

This little ball of wizardry is available for preorder in a variety of places for $100. Get ready, Curt.
