Tobias Hoss and Christian Schwentke from the University of Applied Sciences Konstanz, Germany designed an A1 size wall calender portraying the company MBTech, a subsidiary of Mercedes Benz, from a new angle. The calendar shows the services of this company in an unorthodox way and translates the highly technical processes in a friendly, humorous world. They created a world out of paper and cardboard showing the different fields MBTech is active in. Everything was cut, pasted, and photographed - no Photoshop. Beautiful illustrations!
A beautiful installation at the Illustrative 08 in Zurich from Julien Vallée, a graphic designer based in Montréal, Canada. I like how his style bridges physical and virtual art by applying available technological tools to manual art. He also has some other neat illustration and motion pieces:
There is a website called Schtock with really neat illustrations like you see above made out of stock photos by a guy who says:
I work at a major stock photo company cataloging images. The majority of the stuff I work with will never see the light of day for no other reason than that most people don’t know it’s available to them. It’s a shame which I’m trying to remedy with this site. As an amateur designer, I occasionally can’t help but play around with the images I see floating across my desk on a daily basis. This site contains the results.
I thought that either this guy is very talented or there is something strange going on. So just a couple of google searches later, I discovered I was not alone in my suspicion.
Either way, if it’s a campaign from Corbis great, if not, this guy shouldn’t waste his time at the wrong job.
The 2010 Olympic graphic identity and pictograms were unveiled yesterday in Vancouver. Overall the system is very comprehensive and impressive. From the west coast colour palette to the wonderfully detailed pictograms, the entire system sets us apart. They have also created a short behind-the-inspiration movie talking about the design team’s process and inspiration. You can view it here
Reverse graffiti, also known as clean tagging, dust tagging or grime writing, is a method of creating graffiti on walls or other surfaces by removing dirt from a surface.
In 2006 Alexandre Orion worked on an intervention in the Max Feffer tunnel in São Paulo, Brazil. The intervention was through a process of substation, scraping off layers of soot from vehicle exhaust built up on tunnel walls to produce images of human skulls.
Why water? For us it is our soul, it is the reason why Roca exists. It runs through every one of our products and is the protagonist of our stage, the bathroom. We thought that it is time to make a tribute to this precious and fantastic element, let’s make a tribute to the beauty of water.
