{ synthetica }

{ artwork created by justin broadbent }

they say, "never judge a book by its cover", but sometimes you have to do just the opposite... especially if you are like me and saw the cover art for Metric's new album, Synthetica before its release date.  I knew the album itself would be amazing, (which is is) but it was the beautiful, surreal and haunting artwork that drew me in and made me pre order it right away.  

{ lyrics in digital booklet are backwards, which goes along with the theme of reflections in the album }

{ factoria joven skate park }

i never imagined a skate park could contain an amazing mix of design and function, but the "factoria joven" successfully does.  created by the design team selgas cano architects, this skate park in merida, spain is an eye candy of bold colours and geometric shapes.  thanks  design milk for the great post!
