Creative Review

Raysa Fontana’s illustration manages to feel nostalgic but timeless; cute but somehow a bit off-kilter and strange. Her muted colour palettes and simple linework might give her images the feeling of a kid’s book that’s been left in the attic to fade, if it wasn’t for the energy that bubbles beneath the surface. Known online by the pseudonym Desktopgirl, Fontana works mostly with digital tools.

The Mui Board 2nd Gen Takes Matter Into the User’s Hands

Attempting to define the Mui Board is better served by showing what it can do. But in essence the “calm technology” operates as a smart home interface with an illuminated touch sensitive display, all disguised within a strip of wood.
