Intended to collide thoughts and ideas, manifesting the results visually.
Instagram — even when I’m away from the computer I can still be somewhat visually expressive. Here are a few of my recent favs…

Another great resource for fine design… September Industry – an online design journal/resource that showcases the very best in international graphic design & communication and everything in between every week. Having been established in early 2008, the site has since gained a large following of readers and has consequently gone on to receive much praise and support from industry professionals in and around the UK. This recognition has only been made possible as result of SeptemberIndustry’s dedication to the pursuit of good design.

Founder Matthew Waldman tells of the conception and inspiration behind his NY based futurist brand of Nooka. Waldman presents a pretty interesting philosophy behind product design and user interaction. In the true sense of innovation, Nooka casts off the conventional and relies on positive user experience. Quite refreshing.

A pretty well executed video created by Verve Creative Group out of Vigo, Spain, that cleverly delivers 10 tips to being happy at work. Done for Wanted Selección — a human resource company that thinks human resources must be resources, but human as well. Each tip is presented as a cookie, as they make life a little sweeter. Nice!
Here’s the translation:
1. Negative energy? No thanks! / We don´t want bad feelings!
2. Celebrate your successes!/ You deserve them!
3. Have always fruit close to you
4. Make a better world with your work/ and make others be happy!
5. Ask to Loli about her son/ it will be a great present.
6. Forget the ties!/Nothing must drowning you!
7. Redecorate your desk/ before-after
8. Stay away from gossips/ Oh my god! unbelievable!
9. Doodle while you are on the phone
10.Inspire, expire, talk…/The sun always comes out
I don’t think anyone can argue that the Icelandic band Sigur Ros delivers a sound that’s emotionally striking. It’s pretty impressive to see that passion and creativity poured into their visual material as well. Inni is a boxed set of a 75-mintue film and 105-mintue double live album of the bands last tour in November 2008 at Alexandra Palace, London. Director Vincent Morisset collaborated with visual artist Karl Lemieux to achieve quite an impressionistic look. I totally dig their experimental process…
Pretty impressive presentation with the box set as well…
“The Holstee Manifesto is a call to action to live a life full of intention, creativity, passion, and community.” I’ve been familiar with the Holstee manifesto for some time now. The LifeCycle Film puts the manifesto in motion and brings to life the energy behind the words.

The work of American artist Alexa Meade, definitely makes you look twice. Upon first glance it seemed like a rather striking representational oil painting. But there was something else there that was further intriguing. A closer look into the artist revealed quite an ingenious process…
“Rather than creating representational paintings on a flat canvas, Alexa Meade creates her representational paintings directly on top of the physical subjects that she is referencing. When photographed, the representational painting and the subject being referenced appear to be one and the same as the 3D space of her painted scenes becomes optically compressed into a 2D plane.”

Praktrik, short for “practical tricks” from Bulgarian product designer Petar Zaharinov, are designed to engage some intelligence from the user. The piece is put together without the use of tools or adhesives but by interlocking components. Pretty interesting…
“All products are inspired by burr puzzles. We see great potential for facilitating their principles for utilitarian purposes. Their production requires no hi-tech, they can be made of natural, ecological, and healthy (harmless) materials, they are assemblable and disassemblable, they can also be fun.”

Fear.Less is a collaborative project between Daniel Ting Chong & Jordan Metcalf that yields some very well executed pieces. I’d love to know how they pulled it off.
“The objects are all representative of weapons/items used in acts of crime in South Africa, both by criminal and the law. The objects seek to playfully examine the place of fear and crime in South Africa context, framing our obsession with violence and the casual paranoia we all seem to suffer from. By scaling the objects and turning them into artworks, the artists aim to re-contextualise the place these items hold in our everyday lives.”
