The World's Thinnest Laptop - The HP Spectre



Ok, so I am a graphic designer and yes that does mean I am an Apple user! Ive used an Apple all my professional life but as I was reading through the brand, design and technology news today, this stunning designed, new HP laptop was unavoidable to ignore.  Its styling and finishing is just stunning!

Here is what the HP website has to say: This is design and technology taken to a whole new level. Artisan materials and striking craftsmanship create an experience unlike anything else. With a uniquely stunning design 10.4mm thin combined with impressive performance with full Intel® Core™ i5 or i7 power2, the world's most luxurious laptop is completely irresistible.



Piston hinge design
Drawing inspiration from high-end furniture details, the stunning simplicity of the artfully-crafted piston hinge folds flush for a clean, nearly hingeless look.



Crafted with durable aluminum and carbon fibre, this impossibly thin laptop redefines perfection.
The world's thinnest laptop - Featherweight 13-inch laptop weighs just 2.45 pounds.

Quantas Brand Update

Australia’s largest airline has introduced a new logo and livery, designed in partnership with Quantas consultant Marc Newson and Australian branding agency Houston group. In a press release, Quantas write: The change is only the fifth time the red-and-white image on the tail of Qantas aircraft has been updated since it was first introduced in 1944.

Just the other day, I was reading through the design press and I stumbled upon a fantastic article at The Drum by Ishbel Macleod . The feature was based on Sir John Hegarty's 2014 book, 'Hegarty on Creativity' and lists his top 10 ways to be more creative. Check out number 8... 'Ask Why? A lot!' I have re blogged the list below as it makes for super reading: 1 Be fearless - be single minded in the face of opposition 2 Keep it simple - don't try to say or do too many things at once 3 Stop thinking, start feeling -creativity is driven by the heart
