The Nosferatu teaser trailer is everything I wanted and more
Finally the cinematic gods (well, strictly speaking, Focus Features) have blessed us with a trailer for Robert Eggers' highly anticipated film Nosferatu. As an official Eggers convert since 2015's The Witch, the new feature certainly lives up to the hype, with stunning cinematography, stylish set design and spine-chilling ambience galore.

McDonald's goes Ghibli in new anime ad
In an unexpected yet adorable collaboration, McDonald's Japan has launched a Kiki's Delivery Service-themed campaign, much to the delight of Ghibli fans. The charming animated ad is a welcome dose of nostalgic joy, flying us back to the sunny utopia of Kiki's magical world. While there have been plenty of...
This artist shouldn’t have to prove that her Dungeons and Dragons art is real
The rise of AI technology has (understandably) made many of us a little suspicious of the art that we see online and frequently the internet's AI accusations have been correct – until now. After Dungeons & Dragons posted a promo for its new player handbook, fans were quick to call the artwork a product of AI – something that artist Katerina Ladon was quick to dispel.
Create a detailed fantasy character in 3D
Making a 3D character based on a concept is a classic way for artists to learn new tools and upgrade their skills, but creating your own design from scratch is even more challenging for stepping up your art style. To help you get a handle on that process, let me show you how I create a unique character.
Powerful charity rebranding makes childhood the focus
Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) has unveiled a fresh rebranding with a new logo, brand colour and a host of illustrated icons. And it's one of the most distinctive and versatile new charity identities I've seen for a long time (see our pick of the best rebrands of the 2020s).
History of open world game design on PlayStation
That mountain is not just a backdrop,” Todd Howard once said, introducing Skyrim to the world. “You can walk all the way to the top of that mountain.” The winning quote has become immortalised as a meme: “See that mountain? You can climb it.”. It’s a...
A’ja Wilson’s Nike logo makes perfect sense
Sports brand Nike has an impressive array of legendary logos – from the iconic swoosh to the Air Jordan Jumpman. So it's no surprise that when a new design drops, fans can be a little opinionated (to say the least). Predictably fans didn’t hold their reservations after WNBA star A'ja Wilson dropped her brand-new Nike logo, but I have to admit I disagree with the backlash.
How to use Unreal Engine 5's new procedural tools
Procedural modelling has been on the rise in recent years, with Houdini leading the charge as the go-to software for proceduralism and VFX. But other 3D content creation tools are catching up and offering their own solutions. During this year’s Game Developers Conference, Epic Games unveiled its new in-house tool, Procedural Content Generation (PCG), within Unreal Engine 5, sparking discussions and inspiring new creative works.
Blender 4.1 review: not an exciting update, but a welcome one
Blender 4.1 isn’t an exciting update but it is a very welcome one. Speed enhancements, interface tweaks, a few changes here and there to make daily tasks easier, all add up to a worthy update and one that I highly recommend to any user, new or old. For. Some...
This new AI app's logo has a clever hidden meaning
Often the best logos are the most simple. But it's sometimes surprising just how much meaning can be packed into an apparently straightforward design. Co-created by a former Apple designer, Dot is a new AI app for iPhone that's intended to serve a confident and companion – think a more conversational and personable Siri. And the logo encapsulates this.
3 ways brands can appeal to Gen Z
By 2030, Gen Z’s purchasing power will overtake that of millennials, and brands are grappling with a drastically shifting consumer landscape. The real challenge facing brands today is that Gen Z is not a singular, cohesive demographic group when it comes to cultural tastes and trends. This generation is unified by their differences and individuality, with research showing that 91% of 18 to 25-year-olds don’t even believe there is such a thing as 'mainstream' pop culture anymore.
Apple's wild new AirPods design concept is turning heads (again)
Renders of rumoured future Apple products can sometimes feel more common than shots of the real things. 3D artists love to create weird and wonderful depictions of what might arrive in the distant future – and when those renders are based on actual Apple patents, there's a chance they're not entirely pie-in-the-sky.
You can already get $100 off the new iPad Pro M4
Released just last month, the M4 iPad Pro is Apple's newest and most powerful tablet to date. With more power than many laptops, it obviously comes at a price, but the good news is that Amazon already has up to $100 off the 13-inch iPad Pro M4. The biggest saving...
