For the last few years an underground paper toy scene has been developing across the world, largely thanks to the internet and the rise of social media. Artists are increasingly turning to paper to make 2D ideas into 3D reality.
This Christmas we thought that we’d bring you a little bit of the paper toy magic, providing you with a pdf to create your very own Santa.
Interdirect is indulging in a little bit of nostalgia with this ‘oldie but goodie’ – a time lapse film of Supakitch & Koralie’s epic collaborative wall piece.

Some snazzy HTML 5 used for this interactive film, giving you an idea of what can, and will be done with it in the future.
Word of warning, DO close all other Apps on your computer before running, since it is pretty processor intensive. And if you have the Chrome browser, try it in that. Otherwise Firefox is probably your best bet!

Another great thing about the iPhone is the random games you can download to pass the time. There is an amazing range, but more often than not the best ones are the simplest ideas rather than the best graphics. I've downloads lots, and yet hardly ever return to them to be honest, however here are the ones that actually take up my random time:
If you have an iPhone, you need to get Angry Birds - There is a Lite version (FREE) to try it out, but the full game is only 59p and has a hell of a lot of levels, plus free updates. The idea is simple, you catapult various birds into building blocks and have to destroy the little pigs inside to progress to the next level. Amazing addictive and easy to pick up and play.
I spent a lot of my snowboarding holiday playing this on the coach ride to the resort, as did a lot of other people that lent over my shoulder. Swing the stickman onto a ledge - thats it. Again addictive with a retro look and feel. A free LITE version is available, which is all you need.
Yep! - If you remember, this is the classic point and click adventure from the good ol' days. However it has been updated with new graphics and speech and makes ideal use of the iPhones drag and point system. Plus you can swipe the screen at any time and the graphics will change back to the original old style format - a great trip down memory lane. £4.99 I think, but worth every penny.
Know of any other decent games that pass away the hours? - There are various golf games out there that also work quite well, as do puzzle games. Post a comment if you know of anymore essential games...
Flash Developer Piet Dewijngaert has created himself a flash portfolio website. What is interesting about this flash site, is the madcap way he has gone about it. Loud Techno music (careful with those speaker volumes), bizarre shapes and ways of displaying his work. But shows off the things he can actually do with actionscipt. Nice to see something a bit off the wall.
