I came across London based creative Sean Freeman the other day and I can’t stop staring at. There are few designers/creatives/whatever who really are pushing the boundaries of art and design, who aren’t rehashing old ideas. It’s hard to strike out on an unfamiliar path, but I feel like Mr. Freeman is doing some really incredible work, along the lines of Michael Cina or Neil Kellerhouse. This is some next level typography in action, I would nearly consider some of his work fine art, it’s that masterfully done. It’s funny because I ended up picking ... (Read more...)

I randomly came across the work of Calum Alexander Watt, an illustrator with some immense talent and super creative imagination. I fell in love with his work because of how futuristic it is, creating all sorts of interesting concepts. The images above are from some sort of Disney show or something, I’m honestly not sure (disclaimer: I work for Disney, that has nothing to do with this). I think the idea is like Pokemon except with giant, monster looking characters. I love the range and diversity he’s come up with, the lighthouse creature above at ... (Read more...)

The folks at Snøhetta are always up to something interesting, whether it’s a gigantic opera house or simply a place to watch the reindeer pass by. Located in the Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park in Norway, this small pavilion beautifully frames the idyllic mountain view. I think the best part has to be the materials themselves, these giant wooden beams that have been sculpted to look like natural rock formations. The formations curve around to the inside of the structure and act as tiered seating, a perfect place to take in the view. What’s also kind of interesting ... (Read more...)

Un banc à l’allure surprenante que l’on doit au designer Fabien Capello.

Earlier this morning I read a tweet from Evan Stremke commenting on this great branding initiative for Target by Allan Peters (which you can see above). The extreme scale of the logo is possible because of the universal knowledge of the Target brand, that no matter what size it still reads as an ad for Target. The branding made me think of another recent rebrand by Turner Duckworth for Diet Coke in which he blew up the logo and placed it on the can. Yet again it’s a testament to the brand itself, that no matter ... (Read more...)

I’ve been really excited and proud by the outpouring of amazing entries for the Re-Covered Books contest featuring Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. I need to give a huge thanks to the mant talented artists, designers and creatives that decided to enter into the contest. That said, there can only be one winner, and that honor goes to Justin Mezell.

I was most impressed with Justin’s work because of the unique look and style of his entry. At the bottom there’s what looks like to me like one of the androids eyes, and wired up to that ... (Read more...)

Sometimes, my favorite part of a movie is the title sequence. In this instance we have a very clever title sequence for a movie that doesn’t really exist: a documentary about the history of the title sequence. Directed and edited by Jurjen Versteeg, A History of the Title Sequence pays homage to the influential designers that have changed how important the titles are, and how they can contribute to developing a story. From an interview with Versteeg:

“It seems like the film industry needed fifty years to realise the importance and effect of a good title sequence. The fact ... (Read more...)
