Fun With Skype Screen Grabs By James Callahan.




I figured it wouldn't be long until we began seeing more and more 'art' made from the latest tech apps and devices. We've already seen a wonderful series of illustrated versions of You Tube's most popular videos and seen how the New Yorker Magazine has featured covers created with an iPhone painting app.



Now, UK advertising art director, illustrator and photographer James Callahan has had some fun with screengrabs of his Skype video chats. His ongoing project which he calls Screengrabography is simply his superimposing of screen grabs from Skype chats over stock photos or art.

They are not super impressively composed or even that inventive (men's heads on women's bodies), but they are fun nevertheless and certainly simple enough for almost anyone to do. The results are good for a chuckle. And may just inspire you to start making a few of your own.





Extra points to James' friends Daisy and Joseph for being such good sports.

Futiro has three different USB handsets for VoIP (voice over internet protocol), all of which are wonderfully designed and have also been commended for their functionality.

The Futiro range of VoIP phones was highly commended in the recent IDI design awards. The IDI design awards were established in 1997 to celebrate the excellent standard of design achieved by Irish designers. They cover a range of designs and are judged by a distinguished panel of international jurors.

And Mac Life magazine named Futiro's Luna as an editor's choice:


"The Luna sounds as good as it looks"

"Call us shallow, but one of the things we like most about the Futiro Luna is the way it looks. The sleek black crescent is right at home next to our MacBook and black video iPod. (It also collects fingerprints just as easily as the iPod.) The form is a perfect complement to the function, which provided almost everything we wanted in a handset.

The Luna provided the best sound quality of any handset in our testing, especially in Skype-to-Skype calls."

"For those who value form as much as function, the Futiro Luna is a compelling choice."

"The Futiro Luna had that special combination of sleek style and user-friendly functionality that elevated it above the others."
