A very interesting shop ONE NOFFS was opened in Sydney. It creates designer works from the old stuff. The idea belongs to Rupert Noffs who is the grandson of Ted Noffs (the founder of The Ted Noffs Foundation, a charitable organization that helps the drug addicts and alcoholics).

The significance of the game, its full impact on the child growth cannot be overestimated.

My idea is to create sportswear with built in flexible electronics to monitor an athlete's biological indicators, like pH levels in sweat, heart rate, or blood pressure, generating data on metabolism or other factors and beaming it wirelessly to a trainer's laptop. The electronics could also simply count the steps to measure the distance traveled or the number of reps completed. Having such a sportswear will remove the need for some clunky external device to record or transmit...

I'm a soccer player. It is a real disaster for me to have a game on a sunny day as I hardly see anything and often lose the ball. My idea is to create sunglasses that are contacts so as I could look into the sun and see the ball.

Why not create 'air conditioned' clothing as a way to deal with the restrictions on electricity during the summer heat? It is possible to develop jackets and shirts, as well as cushions and mattresses, with built in fans. The jackets will include two electric fans powered by a lithium ion battery pack. The fans will draw the air in at up to 20 liters per second, circulating it through the jacket where it will dry off sweat and evacuate through the collar and cuffs.

A postcard is one of the easiest ways to congratulate a colleague, friend or acquaintance with a holiday. The only difficulty there is to choose an original and unusual card.

In today's market one can find cards of any format and size, to fit any taste and any occasion. It seemed that nothing new could be suggested in this field of business? But designers and artists are...
