Alphabet-shaped mobility vehicles imagined and visualized in this fun collection

What if Letters Were Mobility A

When creativity flows, it flows and what we see here from car designer Siddhesh Bhogale is a collection of fascinating mobility advancements. These creations are born out of wild imagination that perhaps most guys have thought since they were little boys.

Siddhesh Bhogale is a car designer, so we know his passion for technology and things that move is real. He imagines all 26 letters of the alphabet as a form of advanced mobility. It’s not just any kind of mobility, but with advancements, you and I can only dream about, at least for now.

This set reminds us a lot of the Alphabet Project by Marius Longo, but this isn’t an NFT collection. It could be, but that’s another topic to consider. This series also reminds us of the alphabet-shaped desks. You can see the creativity and innovation in every design.

What if Letters Were Mobility B C

The mobility solutions are shown off in stunning visuals and illustrations. All 26 letters were rendered into units that move or allow mobility. Who knows, someday, these mobility letters could find their way into reality.

The designer imagined the letters as a unique form of mobility. He utilized appropriate but differing visual scenarios to justify such expressions. This particular collection is an expression of creativity that touches on the area of mobility.

What if Letters Were Mobility D E

What if Letters Were Mobility F

What if Letters Were Mobility G

Enjoy this fascinating lineup of letters fashioned into something unique and extraordinary. Of course, we can’t figure out everything, but we’ll try to think and use our imagination. Actually, we don’t have to identify each and every concept design, but we’ll try as it can be fun.

Let’s start with ABC, as they are supposed to be the easiest to do. The A looks like a futuristic rocketship, but at first glance, we thought is some sort of a high-tech angle grinder. B appears like a twin spacecraft that will someday launch and head to Mars. C looks like a robot or some mechanical animal that could roam around the earth once the aliens have left.

F seems to be an autonomous vehicle that can pick up and deliver food. We see the Uber Eats logo so we’re assuming this has something to do with food deliveries and more. G is a floating pod where you and I can rest and “recharge.” The light above a person could be for light therapies.

What if Letters Were Mobility H I

Both the H and I look like spaceships we’d probably see next in ‘Lost in Space’. J and K combined (JK Rolling) seems to be a pun, but it looks like yet another floating vehicle (or an alternative to Hedwig). L appears like a building under construction.

What if Letters Were Mobility J K L .

What if Letters Were Mobility M N

M looks like another spacecraft descending on a snowy mountain. The letter N is a pair of roller skates that is now trendy these days. We imagine O as a portal that appears out of nowhere, offering itself as an escape. The P looks more like a giant robot that can protect you from an alien attack.

What if Letters Were Mobility O P

The next two designs are for letters Q and R. The Q could be another space pod. The R could be a flying vehicle that could easily transport humans over short distances in the future.

What if Letters Were Mobility Q R

What if Letters Were Mobility S T

The S looks like a heavy-duty machine while the T could be a spaceplane.  We’re not sure, but U looks like something used underwater. The VW Dockwing is one fancy, futuristic spacecraft.  What if Letters Were Mobility U V

What if Letters Were Mobility W X

X reminds us of a portal that lets you travel through space and time–something like you’d see in The Flash Universe. Y isn’t a Batmobile but it’s definitely Batman’s. Last but not least, the Z here appears like another spacecraft ready to leave Earth again.

What if Letters Were Mobility Y Z

Alphabet Project will make you want to buy all the letters to add to your NFT collection

NFT is a term loosely used these days. You have probably heard of it but don’t fully understand. Some of you may have already invested money on a few NFT designs. Expect more will be introduced. So what is NFT? It’s a non-fungible token used to own digital objects on a blockchain. Digital objects are any creation online that may cost something. An NFT could be digital drawings, art, or music.

At the moment, digital artists and creatives are going crazy over this trend. Just like cryptocurrency, NFTs will still be questioned and doubted but the system will still continue. A number of other products, services, and platforms are also being developed for NFTs and we can expect more will be introduced.

Several designs have been presented to the public and since last year especially, many people have sold and purchased digital products. The latest interesting collection is from Marius Longo, the person behind Marius Visual Arts.

Marius is a freelance motion designer and 3D artist based in France. He has recently come up with his first NFT collection named the ‘Alphabet Project’. His visual creations are mainly digital product designs. Each product is patterned after a letter from the alphabet.

The Alphabet Project shows the different letters in different forms. Starting with an astronaut, we see one formed like the letter A. A coffee machine is shaped like a C coffee-themed color.

A D-shaped bass drum is followed by an elephant-shaped like an E. The G-Game Boy will remind you of your childhood. A double hydrant looks ready shaped like an H.

Leaning Tower of Pisa is the choice of symbol for I while a J-shaped bottle is filled with jellybeans. THE upside-down K-shaped tomato ketchup is obviously after a bottle of Heinz tomato ketchup. Mario’s signature blue overalls with red shirt combo are the inspiration for the letter M.

N is nicely rendered with ninja accessories. The O shape looks more like a donut. The Q-shaped quartz looks unique while the R radio is something we want to see become an actual product.

An S-shaped Nintendo Switch is possible. The T telephone may remain a novelty because nobody ever really uses a landline phone. The U unicorn doesn’t have eyes or maybe they’re just hidden. We can’t quite figure out how a V videotape will work. The watermelon and xylophone are obvious designs.

A Yoda saber can be blinding. The Z Zippo lighter must be used responsibly. Some letters of the alphabet are not posted on OpenSea yet but we recognize the L lego, P PlayStation, B Basketball, and F football. Each letter has a corresponding cost. Starting price is $0.01 while the most expensive we see is at $0.4 for the Nintendo S Switch.

This Supersonic Turntable’s aesthetics are inspired by the current brutalist architecture trend!

Turntables have a rep for being vintage design pieces. While vintage record players can be used for playing old and new music alike, turntables are also essential modern audio devices for DJs and producers. Today, some turntables have taken on a more raw, industrial look to meet their contemporary use. Rod Romantsov, a 3D artist and visual designer based in San Francisco, recently visualized his own turntable called Supersonic that fits right into today’s industrial style and one that’s sleek as steel.

Supersonic is a fully exposed record player with a flat width and rounded side edges that give it a pronounced modern look. Supersonic also comes with an integrated rubber platter to spin the record and keep it spinning even as DJs manipulate the records on top of slipmats. Coated in stainless steel, the record player’s control panel features all that one would expect with a traditional turntable, including an anti-skating dial, speed switch, and power knob. With a stainless steel coating, Romantsov’s Supersonic turntable is corrosion-resistant, maintaining a slick finish even after continued use. Mostly every detail of Supersonic’s frame and accessories is constructed from stainless steel, including the stylus, cartridge, and fuller body, making it not only industrial in style but in strength and durability too.

DJs can use turntables to manipulate the music playing from records, controlling the turntable’s stylus to jump to specific points throughout a record. While casual listeners can operate turntables with little to no tear and wear, DJs and producers need a turntable that can take a lot of action and fingerwork. Industrial turntables like Rod Romantsov’s Supersonic turntable fit the bill for the contemporary audiophile and music makers alike, offering a refreshing air of durability in the turntable’s age of aesthetic design.

Supersonic appears lightweight and minimal by design, but its industrial build equips it with durability to maintain quality.

Supersonic’s control panel features a power knob, speed control, and an anti-skating dial.

Everything from its body to its needle looks constructed from stainless steel.

An integrated platter keeps the record spinning for DJs.

This transparent pen design crystalizes tree branches to make empty pens memorable!

When it comes to stationery, it often seems that demand overshadows artistry. Noisy, plastic pouches lined with ten or more plastic pens fill the bags of shoppers who just need something to write. That’s why Geonwoo Kim conceptualized the IceN pen. Specifically for pen-users who tend towards plastic, wasteful writing tools, the IceN reimagines an ecological alternative. Before putting pen to paper, Kim took and studied photographs of tree branches frozen over with ice in order to conceptualize the pen’s design authentically and to send home his dedication to conservation. In many ways, this pen represents a marriage between environmental consciousness and the human pursuit for reusability. This design makes sense of human waste by returning to nature. This sentiment is emphasized with Kim’s remark, “I wanted to show that there is still beauty inside the empty, transparent pen.”

While the icy pen is still in its design stages, Geonwoo Kim plans on the manufactured product being made up of resin and ink. By meticulously constructing the pen in harmony with mother nature, the final design comprises a work of art that’ll be sure to take up prime real estate in either your home office or pencil case. Unlike other transparent pens, you won’t want to throw this one away. But of course, ink runs out. As this stationery design hasn’t reached its production stage, the question of refilling the pen lingers. One possibility, echoing nature’s inimitability, would be to 3D print refills, so that each resulting ‘branch’ inside the pen is unique. Lost wax molding, centering a hollowed out ‘branch’ in transparent resin to then fill in with ink, could be an efficient and successful choice as well. With a few possibilities considered, the prospective solution will likely reflect Kim’s environmental commitment.

The beginnings of Geonwoo Kim’s pen design literally symbolizes a root and branch undertaking. The final visual design, in both its complexity and simplicity, is a visually pronounced declaration of environmental awareness. Geonwoo Kim realizes the contemplative connection between the written word and the beauty of nature. The possibilities of merging design with the natural world, or, “man-made nature,” as Kim refers to it, are unveiled with IceN’s artful ode to mother Earth, bringing with it, winter’s textured and fallen branches, crystalized forever in ice.
