The following images are 50 examples of stunning fashion brochure design, made to be fresh and fabulous eye candy for their season. I hope you appreciate not just every cut and swatch of fabric they were made to advertise, but also their stylish and harmonious layout and design.

All the hype recently has been about Html5, and the new elements it brings to the table for us to use. However, the way I see it, we currently don’t even utilise all that the current version of html has to offer. There are several really useful elements available to use, that make our code more semantic, our website more usable, and in general, everything easier for both us, the coder, and the end-user of our site.

Well did you know that you can do the exact same thing with your browsing experience, and the websites you view? Well you can, and it’s amazing. Greasemonkey first came around in 2004/05, and its the tool that really threw user scripts in the browser out there. Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that allows you to write scripts that alter the web pages that you view. It allows you to make web pages more usable, more viewable, fix bugs for yourself; the possibilities are endless.

Macro photography  is the art of taking close up pictures to reveal secrets the human eye can’t see. These details make even the simplest, most usual of objects stand out to the viewers. With Macro photography  becoming more accessible to normal photographers (the trick is simple, you just reverse any normal camera lens), we are seeing a greater abundance of macro photography.

These photographers have managed to take insects (which I find particularly scary) and turn them into beautiful works of art. Each of these photos were hand picked for their ingenuity, unusualness and flair.

We can’t comprehend how much, as humans, we are limited to see. Take a look at the world around you and become amazed at the small details we often miss.
