Business cards on cassette
Sweet idea. I really like the fact that the cassette case is used to carry the cards and the case’s spool ‘bits’ keep the cards nice and neat. Unfortunately, like all good ideas, this is bound to generate many imitations!
There seems to be more and more cassette-influenced design and fashion pieces popping up here and [...]
James Gulliver’s ‘obsolete’ cassette tapes illustration
. . . not the illustration, it’s the cassette tapes that are obsolete.
James Gulliver is a talented fellow; some interesting and inspiring art projects, animations and . . . illustrations – including this one.
“Throughout this investigation his work maintains a consistent charm, whimsy and poetic graphic sensibility.”
Grouse. I dig it.

Real recognise reel . . . Project C-90

AT-AT Boombox
Well.
I’m not big a fan of Star Wars, and would never buy this, yet it sure would have saved all the old b-boys from getting sore shoulders. It would be great if it actually nodded it’s ‘head’ and walked to the beat.

ASOS Cassette Face Watch
I kinda dislike posting on things that I find on competitor’s sites (arrgrh! Designboom!)
Well anyway, it looks cool, yet the concept seems a little forced . . . you know, whack a graphic of a cassette over a couple of dials and all of a sudden, hey! Cassette watch!
But!! Look, it’s still [...]

Mice n tapes
Love this idea – though it doesn’t look like this one would actually function . . . it would be great if somehow the mice could choose the tracks – you know, (run) fast forward and cue it up.
Plus, you’d hope the little fellas didn’t develop a taste for tape!
Anyway it was one of . [...]

Cassettes on the wall
Came across these images on flickr.
Well, if you see some roughly painted rectangles on the wall, I’d say the best thing to do is turn them into rough drawings of cassette tapes.
Hey, I’ve got a backlog of posts I’ve gotta get through, but I’ve been so busy with work . . . more soon.
Also, [...]

Cassette controlled robot
And you thought it was all cassette collections and old boom boxes . . .
Look! It’s pouring a glass of wine! Must have been a James Taylor tape.
You should see what it does what it does with a 2 Live Crew cassingle . . .
Hey, this is from www.theoldrobots.com which is a great site. Those [...]
