Create your own tile pattern that’s anywhere from a perfectly symmetrical geometric design to a chaotic maze of your own creation with a fun interactive product called Roll
. You might not think a simple hexagonal tile printed with a line down the centre and two semi-circles on either side could be the basis for virtually limitless design variations, but the creators have switched it up in all different ways to show just how versatile it really is.
Dreamed up by design studio Dsignio for Peronda Fashion Lab, Roll can be used to create graphic designs in a range of colour combinations, from muted blue and gray to a cheerful citron accented by crisp white. The possible patterns include zig-zags, organic-looking waves, lines and circles, traditional striped effects and results with a hint of the psychedelic — via Dornob

It is a well known fact that Quentin Tarantino is a self-proclaimed cinephile. But the writer/director’s love for cinema is most obviously expressed through his own films. In addition to showing his characters spending a great deal of time discussing cinema, Tarantino’s films are jam-packed with homages and visual references to the movies that have intrigued him throughout his life.
Many filmmakers pay homage, but Tarantino takes things a step further by replicating exact moments from a variety of genres and smashing them together to create his own distinct vision. Just like Kill Bill: Vol 2 (2004) draws on The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) and Samurai Fiction (1998), Tarantino’s work often reflects Spaghetti Westerns and Japanese cinema — both new and old. His unique way of referencing other films allows him to bend genre boundaries and shatter the mold of what we expect to experience. While his methods are often criticised and he is accused of ripping off
other filmmakers, it seems that Tarantino is simply writing love letters to the art he is ever so passionate about.
From German silent-cinema to American B movies, the following video uses split-screen to demonstrate a few of the hundreds of visual film references over the course of Tarantino’s career — via Vimeo
Stevie Wright, who fronted rock outfit The Easybeats in the 1960s and is widely regarded as Australia’s first international pop star, has died at the age of 68.
The ARIA hall of famer became ill on Boxing Day and was taken to Moruya Hospital on the New South Wales south coast, where he died on Sunday night with his son Nick by his side.
Rock historian Glenn A Baker said Wright was a dynamo on stage.
Stevie would hurl himself off stage he would catapult, he would somersault, it was an extraordinary thing to witness, he gave everything,
