I love the dual design of the new Quiet Place film posters
The early promotional posters for A Quiet Place: Day One were a little underwhelming, to say the least, so when the new poster dropped I was naturally a little sceptical. In a triumphant redemption, the latest poster is a stunning return to form, combining clever visuals with sleek design, and it seems fans (myself included) can't get enough.
Belgium's Tintin-inspired Euro 2024 kit is just adorable
Football kit designs can generate as much controversy as sports logos, but Belgium has truly won us over with its current away kit. The team will be going to Euro 2024 with a striking Tintin-inspired getup in their luggage (the Euro 2024 logo design has an interesting story of its own).
The new Lego Legend of Zelda set has a $300 price tag
Zelda fans, this one is for you.

Preorders for the 2,500-piece set are live now, but it will set you back $299.99 / £259.99 directly from the Lego store.
The 'Netflix of AI' wants to upturn Hollywood but its shows are truly terrible
While AI video has advanced extremely fast in the past year, entirely AI-generated content is still so clunky that it's hard to watch. That's not putting off Fable Studio's Showrunner, which is moving ahead with the launch of its 'Netflix of AI'. Fable Studio's platform will allow users to create...
"Keep being curious": Inside the art of Marcel Mosqi

The internet is divided over PlayStation’s AI vision
It looks like PlayStation may finally be embracing AI after a statement from its head of productions, Asad Qizilbash, caused a stir online. AI is always a controversial topic, especially in the gaming sphere where creatives fear for the security of their careers, but Asad chooses to see it as a force for good.
Apple's iPad 10 is now cheaper than ever
We spent a good part of the Memorial Day Sale last weekend tracking the best iPad deals. We even ran a live blog. That's because over years of reviewing and reporting on creative tech, we've most often found the best deals during the major sale events. Here's an exception. Almost a week after Memorial Day, Amazon has the iPad 10 for a record low price of $299.
TIME’s Trump cover illustration is simple yet powerful
Once again Donald Trump has got his wish – he's on the front cover of TIME magazine – just not quite in the way he probably hoped for. After the former president was found guilty of falsifying business records in a hush-money scandal, TIME released a surprisingly stylish cover to commemorate the news.
Apple makes up with creatives in new iPad Pro ad
Apple's M4 iPad Pro launch was marred by an advert that attracted the ire of creatives, actors and the internet at large. Crushing a load of creative tools really wasn't the way to appeal to the intended audience. Samsung took advantage to put its own spin on the piece. And...
New Astro Bot game shows that Sony has learned a trick from Nintendo
Up until recently, Sony has always been a little hesitant to really embrace its history. While it has dipped a toe in the nostalgia waters with the PlayStation Classic, one of the best retro consoles, the PlayStation brand rarely gets the same treatment as Nintendo pursues with games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. That's about to change dramatically with the announcement of a new Astro Bot game for PS5, and I couldn't be happier.
The best CGI creature design, chosen by experts
Not surprisingly there is an overlap between visual effects veterans choosing their best CGI animals and best CGI characters as the former is a crucial member of the cast in being able to achieve the desired cinematic vision and scope. And let’s face it, there is a Hollywood adage that animals and children are the hardest to direct and for a medium where every nuance counts in suspending the disbelief of the audience members then why not use a computer where every pixel can be precisely controlled?
NFL logos drawn by players are so funny they just had to be put on T-shirts
The best NFL logos are bold and distinctive, immediately identifying each team. But how well do the teams' own players know the designs, and how are their drawing skills?. It's become something of an annual tradition for the NFL to challenge rookies to draw their team logo from memory following each year's NFL draft. This year's challenge did not disappoint. The results were so good, some of them have even been put on T-shirts.
Confusing staircase optical illusion trips up the internet
The internet has been sent into a spin over a set of stairs. Yes, I'm not joking. It might sound absurd but the mind-bending optical illusion has divided Reddit users, with many expressing their confusion over the simple snap. There are many types of optical illusions – from the cognitive...
Monster Hunter Wilds will have a "living world" - and it could shape open world game design
New details emerged of Capcom's anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds open world role-playing game at the latest PlayStation State of Play. The new trailer showcased how broad and deep the latest entry in this series will be, and suggest a new elevation to how deep game design can go in an open world.
Users are already poking fun at the Discord rebrand
Discord has announced a brand refresh (yes, another one) to mark its ninth anniversary. And while the overall brand identity might not look massively different, users are already poking fun. When you rebrand, you have to be careful to avoid a new tagline that disgruntled customers might rework to express...
New footage reveals we could have had a Batman stealth game
New footage has emerged of Volition's unreleased Batman stealth game originally developed for PlayStation 2. The video, hosted on YouTube channel DidYouKnowGaming shows the caped crusader doing a pretty good Sam Fisher impression.
