Marlboro Transformers

What happens when two Marlboro boxes, two matchboxes and a box of condoms join together? They make one sweet decepticon that is more than meets the eye. YouTube user “Jimmyleekalimantan” has made this stop motion video as a tribute to Transformers. 32 seconds into the film the Marlboro boxes start to go at it; really.

Matchbox Cellphone Concept

Take a look at some of Lv Zhongfang’s work and you’ll be able to see how much of an original the designer truly is. This Matchbox cellphone concept is one of the coolest design ideas we’ve seen yet, and if ever realized, could change the interface of cellphones as we know it. Not a clam shell or a linear modeled design, the keypad actually slides inside of the LCD screen panel, giving it the matchbox look.

The finished concept is really a magnificent product design which we hope to see be produced eventually. We imagine a phone like this selling well, especially with how small it would be. Who knows, maybe one day it’ll actually hold matches too! But yeah…probably not. More pics after the jump.

Here’s a nice way to make yourself a camera for almost no cost whatsoever. All you’ll need is a full and an empty roll of 35mm film, a matchbox, some black tape, and a bit of tin foil. The finished product leaves you with a camera capable of shooting pictures at f90, which mixed with some ISO100 film, should leave you with some nice shots at a relativly short exposure time. If you do it right, the exposure time should be around one second in daylight. Take the jump for some sample pics the camera took.
