London in the Circle of Rage
A masked rioter is seen in front of a burning car in Hackney, North London, Britain, August 8, during the third day of violence in London in which police have clashed with rioters in Hackney and vehicles have been set on fire in Peckham and Lewisham.

15 fresh startups with great landing page designs
Welcome to the age of the online startup.
Every day, multiple websites are created to announce a new startup and sadly, most of those pages look horrible. In order to attract the users you have to be able to provide a catchy description, features, and of course design. Now keep in mind that there is no perfect method/formula for a landing page. Don’t worry however there are plenty of successful rules to follow.
Remember to use strong call to action or CTA, in order to guide the user on what to do next. In most of the cases that action is to sign-up for your newsletter. But what happens after that? Right after you should ask the use to share the startup on social networks like Twitter and Facebook. This will enable you to further your reach and interest potential users. If you need some themes/landing pages, check out our previous article: 40-creative-coming-soon-pages-wordpress-themes.
This posts highlights 15 online startups that are out of the ordinary and actually look good!

Clouds Photography or Portraying Metamorphosis
Describing clouds using verbal means only could become a challenging assignment even for a skillful literary expert. The coloring of clouds may vary from almost transparent white to deep red, and their shapes are just next to impossible to describe because of constant motion and changing. That is why we are offering here the visual portraits of clouds, made by the most skillful photographers around the globe. Here you will find the pictures of calm and peaceful clouds, flowing above the grasslands and forests, as well as the vividly-colored clouds during the sunset at sea, and even terrifying clouds before the storm or tornado. All are here for you to enjoy.

Sheets to burn, fire to sculpt
At what temperature is steel mouldable like clay? For Jeremy Thomas, 1,500 degrees are enough, along with a paradox which is just as hot: metal can be moulded with a gust of air.

5 Minutes with Danielandhisart who designed ‘The World will end in Fire’ for Galleria-T.
LOCATION:
Livermore, Kentucky
WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION?
I tend to treasure everything I receive or learn in life. I am a very thankful person for everything I have so it would be impossible to narrow it down to one thing.
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE AND WHY?
Although I plan to travel everywhere in life and see everything I can, I love living in the south. There is nothing like living in Kentucky. When I was younger I would complain about the landscape and the way my city or town was boring compared to others, but as I have grown I have learned to accept the beauty in the simple things. Kentucky is such a beautiful place, so anywhere near Kentucky is where anyone should be able to find me.
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY LISTENING TO?
I really dig all sorts of music. I listen to everything from anything popular on the radio to a small town touring band I hear about on the internet. Some of my current records i have listened to on iTunes are : The Trueblood soundtracks, Ryan Adams – Easy Tiger, Deftones – Diamond Eyes, Bush – The Science Of Things, Drake – Thank Me Later and various other bands. Some of my all time favorites to listen to would be anything by Silverchair, Deftones, Unwed Sailor and lots of old school HipHop and RnB.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU MOST DEPLORE IN OTHERS?
Being able to sleep normal. I have an awful time falling asleep as my brain is constantly working and thinking of things i need to do and complete. As much as i enjoy sleeping and getting the proper rest my body needs, i would rather be awake enjoying life.
WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE ARTIST AND WHY?
I would say that Dave Quiggle would rank among my top favorite artists as of right now. He has such a great style that always catches my eye.
WHAT INFLUENCES YOU?
Almost everything influences me, but my girlfriend Ashley and my family have pushed me and influenced me so much in life that I would say they are the biggest influences on anything I do or touch.
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
I am currently reading “The Walking Dead” comic books. There are so many out and I am way behind with them and decided to catch up on them. I also like reading the Trueblood comics that are currently out and any Horror/scary/paranormal book can always grab my attention.
WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST?
A bowl of Cookie Crisp cereal. One of my favorite cereals of all time.
TELL US A SECRET?
I cant grow a moustache.
FUTURE PROJECTS?
Everything I have lined up is 80 percent apparel design and 20 percent ad’s and poster work. I will be working on a couple lines this fall with some other companies as well as doing some tour merch for a couple of my favorite bands for 2011.
FINALLY WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO CREATE THIS PIECE OF ARTWORK FOR GALLERIA-T?
Both of the pieces I made for this line were made during periods of time where I was sick of working on the current projects I had.
I was so bored with what I was working on and I wanted to do something darker that had a personal meaning to me.
I hope that everyone can interpret them into their own meanings,this piece called “The World Will End In Fire” was inspired by Robert Frost and his poem “Fire and Ice”. I think that poem ranks up as one of my all time favorites.

Pareidolia: a photography project by Shayan Asgharnia
Pareidolia – n
the imagined perception of a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist, as in considering the moon to have human features
While taking photos of bursts of flames, I noticed certain recognizable images, not unlike looking at clouds. This led to the beginning of a photo project I like to call ‘Pareidolia.’
Shayan Asgharnia is a photographer based in Austin, Texas.
Fire Performance by Jerry Burch
