Ok so I am obviously like a moth to the flame with info graphics but Francesco Franchi’s work is far too nice not to share with everyone. An Art Director for ‘IL — Intelligence in Lifestyle’ he has amassed a pretty nice body of work.
Lovely Flickr photostream, I like the fact that he has taken the time to photograph his work properly, nice attention to detail.
This is one of the best uses of an iPad I have seen. Wow and Wow.
iPad light painting!
Made by Dentsu London who are continuing to do some amazing work, see more from them.
New street trials riding short film by Danny MacAskill. Simply too good not to share.
A lovely post on the Creative Review blog, U&lc lives. U&lc launched in 1974 was the most important typography publication of it’s time. Hugely influential and still standing the tests of time, Monotype Imaging are making editions available to download in PDF format.
For all the type geeks out there this is a must have edition to your collections.
Here’s a challenge that’s pretty irresistible but the stakes are high! Can you draw the internet? So who’s more imaginative the creative industry or a bunch of 10yr olds?
I think i’ll sit down with my 3yr old and see what we both come up with at the weekend. I think i’ve gone into competitive dad mode, his better not be as good as mine!
I am off to Click London, Creative Review’s one day event exploring all things new and exciting in the world of digital. This year Click forms part of the first ever Internet Week Europe, A five day event which celebrates Europe’s thriving Internet industry and community.
There is a great line up of speakers covering a broad range of topics. I will try and capture as much as possible, if I can read my notes i’ll try and put a few things up to share.
If you’re in London town on a Saturday or Sunday till 14th November then you may be able to experience the worlds first hand painted 3D installation down on Curtain Road in Shoreditch. Check it out at MUTATE Britain and on the artist CHU site.
I have just been watching these amazing timelapse videos that are part of an upcoming feature film. Because most of us live in highly populated areas with lots of light pollution we hardly see many of the stars visible to the human eye. I spent a night on Dartmoor earlier in the year and was totally captivated by the amount of stars in the sky.
Amazing high res footage all shot on a Canon 5D mkII, go check it out at Timescapes.org and over at Vimeo. Can’t wait to see this on a large screen or an iMax version would be incredible.
This isn’t supposed to be a morbid start to Friday but whilst having a browse over at FormFiftyFive I was completely captivated by Tony Wilson’s Headstone by Peter Saville and Ben Kelly. In time honored tradition it was three years late.
I had the great fortune to meet and chat to Tony Wilson a couple of times when he ventured down to London to visit Malcolm Garrett when I worked at AMX. I always thought he was a genuine really nice bloke, very passionate about music, design, culture and especially Manchester. He was controversial and always divided opinion, but I don’t think people can argue that he is greatly missed.
The other headstone image is of the legendary American graphic designer Paul Rand.
