About Design and Making Things!

“PingMag is an online design magazine based in Tokyo. Defining the term design as broadly as we can, PingMag writes about ideas and inspiration coming from both world class designers, and from the little store on the corner. We look at everything; product design, packaging, architecture, web design, typography, illustration, photography, fashion, programming, graphics, video, art, toys, traditional crafts, graffiti, set design…. anything, in fact, that we consider inspiring and we think will excite you too.

We’re sure that there is so much to be learnt from both the very big fish, and from the amazing local artist you’ve never heard about before. And a rapidly growing readership proves that we can’t be too wrong! Design is unlimited. It can be found in anything, anywhere, anytime. PingMag has the honor to spend time finding those treasures and talking to those people who put love and thought into creating.

PingMag was started and is supported by Tokyo-based design company IMG SRC, for the joy of fueling creativity back into the design world.”

Love, Uleshka (PingMag Chief Editor)

I just discover this online magazine yesterday, and this PingMag is great. They show a lot of designs, crafts, photographs, fashion, and so much more. For those who love to design and make things, you must visit PingMag.

One of the pages I came across which I think is very great is ‘Waste needn’t be wasted’ – designs by Heath Nash. He must be a very great designer. All his creation is so beautiful, and they are usually made out of waste that people don’t need anymore, like papers, plastic, bottles, and etc.

White and colorful bottles gathered from recycling centers or simply picked up from the streets
