from Wireframes Magazine by Morten Just
Morten created a stencil for the Google Drawings addition to Google Docs. Could be interesting to try. Comparing Google Docs as a wireframing tool to Omnigraffle and Visio, his five outlined advantages include:
- It’s live. The entire team can work on the same document and see each other’s work instantly
- The wireframes live in the cloud, no sending files around, no outdated documents
- The risk of losing data is zero. It saves for every edit you make
- It’s free
- Most people already have a Google account, so no sign up required
Following the recent success of locally-built bikes, like Pharrell-endorsed Brooklyn Machine Works
to the simple offerings from London’s Brick Lane Bikes or the exciting 14 Bike Co, this year Stockholm’s Sson introduces a Scandinavian option to the mix
with its first fixed-gear bike, the 028. With whiffs of legendary Scandinavian
qualities, the design features lean welds, neat lugs and minimal decals.
At present it’s also only available in white, making a good blank
canvas for easy customization.
Rather than picking something off the conveyor belt of a Far East
frame factory, Sson spent lots of time making the frame to their exact
standards. Their site shows how they developed the angles to
create a balanced bike as comfortable on the streets as it is on the
track. Highlights include a custom-brake bridge, with or without mounts.
While the bike looks and rides really tight, Sson also gives some
attention to the packaging. Taking a peek out back of any average bike
shop shows how much wasted cardboard and bubble wrap comes with the
average bike today. Sson decided to make its packaging usable beyond
basic shipping, so it doubles as a simple bike crate to make traveling
with your 028 nice and easy. The brand sees the average user keenly
assembling the bike straight from arrivals before setting off to explore
the new destination.
Interesting as a foil to other fixed options out there, the Sson 028
is sympathetic to the roots of the track bike—slick, well built, not
too shouty—just pure cycling. The 028 can be pre-ordered for €850 from Sson.

I was browsing around the web searching for my daily inspiration images, something that I do everyday, when I bumped into Bradley Sharp’s work and really liked it. The image that got my attention was the first one from this selection, which by the way is already my new desktop wallpaper. Since I liked the style and the idea from that one image I decided to check out his portfolio for more stuff and noticed that it was pretty cool to show here to you. His illustrations/vectors are really stylish. His lines, characters, E.T.s alike elements, colors and shapes are pretty cool and eye catching.
Hello all.. I’m Brad Sharp, a Graphic Designer from the UK. I spend a good amount of time on personal work and with my illustrations – beginning with sketchbooks from as early as I can remember. In the past 5 years I’ve been playing more and more with vectors, which I’m always learning. I often get inspiration from nature or technology and sometimes look at the interplay between the two.
Check out the selection we put together and don’t forget to visit his website for more. Hope you like it! Enjoy. =)
