Generating fractal images is more like exploration than design -- and Tom Beddard explores an entire "fractal planet" in the video below. Beddard completed a PhD in laser physics before moving into web development and design. "I'm interested in how equations and formulas can be used to create interesting, unpredictable imagery," he tells Co.Design. Fractals are the quintessential example of this kind of generative art, but exploring their contours can be difficult on a desktop computer because of all the heavy math required to render them visually.

The Killer Mobile Device for Victorian Women Adrift in a sea of digital apps for every imaginable function, we often feel our needs are met better today than in any previous era. But consider the chatelaine, a device popularized in the 18th century that attached to the waist of a woman’s dress, bearing tiny useful accessories, from notebooks to knives. In many ways chatelaines provided better access to such objects than we have today: How often have you searched for your keys or cell phone at the bottom of a cavernous bag? “Certainly, they clanked; when they moved, the chatelaine would’ve made a lot of noise.” Black and White Photography Black and white is maybe the most beautiful, emotional, powerful, and very inspiring photography mode. In this post we’ll showcase some beautiful black and white photos for your own inspiration. If you like a particular photo and you want to see more, just click on the image and you’ll be led to the source where you can view more work and info from the photographer.
