The ridges of eucalyptus bark, the geometries of shell formations, moss-covered trees, Indigenous grasslands and the hidden networks of fungi beneath the soil. These landscapes produce organic yet abstract patterns - natural systems that quietly shape the way we see and design the world around us.

What we found was that errata sheets were not only spaces for corrections but also sites of humor, legal maneuvering, and reinterpretation. With this exhibition, we wanted to share ways in which even small corrections can reshape meaning and authority.

There's a real convenience to being able to print a lease agreement, a medical form, or a tax document without having to run to a copy shop or library. When you need something signed and returned quickly, having a printer at home means you don't have to rearrange your schedule around a trip across town. That kind of on-demand access saves both time and stress, especially during situations that are already a little chaotic.

You'll get a pre-made faux leather cover to decorate and personalise with a range of buttons, charms, stamps and fabric pieces. You'll learn to experiment with collage and layering techniques and combine different types of embellishments to add texture, colour and personality to your journal.

I take the product apart. CAD it up. Illustrate each view. Then animate and lay it out for the web. That sounds quick, but it does take me quite a bit of time to create each one.

Static images don't show motion. You can't inspect real product structure. You don't see how interfaces evolve over time. You rarely understand what actually works in production. So I decided to go deep. I reviewed every major design reference platform I could find - not just the popular ones - and analyzed how they actually help in real-world work. The conclusion?

When you participate in a major tech event, you naturally want to stand out. Print materials can ensure making a professional first impression. In this article we look at how you ensure that your tech company's exhibition stand definitely stands out. Even if you participate in 2026 at the Web Summit in Portugal, the London Tech Week, TechEx Europe in the RAI Amsterdam or FOSDEM in our own country (Brussels). Which HelloPrint print materials are suitable for dressing up a booth?

We've both fought against needless promotional content before and lamented that frontier AI platforms are falling into the same pattern. As designers and users, we've learned that "free" usually means putting up with interruptive, slightly creepy ads that feel more like a tax than a benefit - a frustration tax that now colors how we approach free‑tier services and now AI tools.

Last year, PocketBook rocked up at CES with a series of large e-paper displays to display art on the walls of your home. This year, the company has turned up with a far larger, A1-sized model called the Duna, which it says mimics the "texture, depth and tonal richness of printed paper." It's intended to act as an upmarket alternative to those big screen TVs which display art when they're not being used for their intended purpose.

AtomForm Palette 300 is a 12-nozzle, enclosed 3D printer built to combine up to 36 colors and 12 materials in a single print. It uses a rotating OmniElement automatic nozzle-swapping system, where each nozzle stays dedicated to one filament. AtomForm claims that the approach cuts filament waste by up to 90% by avoiding constant purging, while still hitting 800 mm/s print speeds and 25,000 mm/s² acceleration in a 300 × 300 × 300 mm enclosed cube.

But unlike other versions, this one requires no subscription, lets you swap out the surrounding frame and doesn't require an app to upload the art. Instead, a built-in mic picks up your idea, sends it to OpenAI and creates an image that pops up in a few moments on the screen. The on-board accelerometer even knows whether the device is in landscape or portrait orientation, and applies the correct format.

"There's a tension in the design of the book that I was exploring, between making it feel super contemporary and colorful, and leaning into more traditional aesthetics of archives and historical content. I wanted to honor both," says Michele. "Copyright law can also be kind of intimidating, so I wanted to use the design of the book to make the content more approachable and engaging."

A graphic designer that isn't limited to working in 2D, Ward Goes has been working in aluminium of late. His recent solo show in Rotterdam, Literally Anything, was full of things that moved beyond the screen or printed page, including some wonderful metal signage and archival storage. The exhibition at Alley Space was the result of the designer's decision to pursue more tactical investigations alongside his commissioned work at the start of 2025.

Infused with history, the slab cannot help but suggest the old West's frontier clichés, for such ephemera as classic wanted posters, political broadsides, cautionary warning signs, and more generic commercial applications. Cattivo is a brand-new 18-font family that, when used in any weight and size, cuts through nostalgic predictability and provides a welcome alternative to such popular Egyptian-style slab serifs as Stymie and Memphis.
