Cool Hunting
In response to feedback from agencies and companies that search for creative talent and wanted a "one-stop shop," our friends at Behance developed another great tool: Creative Index, an open and free service for creative professionals and those who search for them. The service makes it near effortless and far more efficient to find photographers, designers, dancers and even confectionery artists.
Clean, attractive and with an easy-to-use design, the site is the first to aggregate both portfolios and websites in one place and it's simple to join—just enter the addresses for your various websites and portfolios. Once entered, the sites are cataloged and up-to-date information becomes searchable in the Creative Index for any visitor, as well as the world's top agencies and creative companies.
So if you're ever looking for a package designer in Paris or a creative director in Seoul, check out Creative Index.

Stop using Google and start using Blackle. Based on the idea that a black screen uses less energy than a white one, it will also act as a reminder to keep taking small steps towards saving energy every time you search in black. Hopefully you've already heard about it and are using it, but we found it worthwhile enough to spread the word some...
Grokker is a search tool that organizes results in a logical, zoom-able visual interface. By visually arranging data it's great for topic searches because it displays results with contextual relevancy. Trying to explain it is kind of silly-- just go download the trial and see for yourself. It's the best visualization experience I've had since Newsmap. UPDATE: I had to uninstall this thing because...
While most companies are just getting up to speed with their green initiatives, environmental activism has been a core value for Patagonia since day one and is the driving force behind their recently announced web initiative, The Footprint Chronicles. Taking social and corporate responsibility one step further, the well-designed interactive site allows consumers to track social and environmental impact of specific garments. Offering unrivaled...
Some might recognize Lost at E Minor from their frequent contributions to CH, but they also host their own site that covers trends and pop culture from all over the world. The page recently underwent a big overhaul. I was able to speak with founding editor Zolton Zavos, whose desk is conveniently next to mine at Cool Hunting HQ. What led you to create...
Few stores out there offer to give you just what you want in bed, but a great little shop in Vancouver called "Bed" (that also sells online) has made that its motto. For several years, Bed has been offering some of the most unique bedding available by making products that are all about dramatic patterns and brilliant colors. I love the endless combinations of...
