Goodbye timeless Americana, hello big-box clip art…
I know this isn’t new but I just saw Holiday Inn‘s lengthy billion dollar rebrand for the first time last week here in Toronto and I just couldn’t resist spanking it…
pass me a tissue. (for tears, not for what you’re thinking)
Name ” YAPU” came from estonian word Jää -Ice, and Puu- Tree.

There’s been buzz about the film The Visual Language of Herbert Matter, the documentary about the famous designer, for over a year now, yet despite promises of opening this past spring, it’s yet to start screening anywhere. But after the very first wave of enthusiastic blogging about it happened, there’s been another recent batch of attention over the past few weeks, as well as the listing on the film’s site that it will start making the theater rounds in “Summer 2010,” which makes us think that maybe it will this time. This year’s Helvetica-esque phenomenon? We’re eager to find out. From the seven month-old trailer, you’ll see that the director, Reto Caduff, certainly landed an impressive list of names:

We’re in the midst of degree show exuberance here in the UK, but with more graduates looking for fewer jobs than ever before, we want to know what you wish you’d experienced before you left college? What advice would you give the new grads setting out?
According to new figures published this week, on leaving university there are now as many as 70 graduates for every job. To say it’s competitive out there is something of an understatement.
But we’d like to ask you, our readers, about what you now wish you’d known as you left college for the world of self-employment, start-up collectives, studio or agency work…
If you’re a recent graduate – what do you wish you’d had more help with? What was the structure like at your college in preparing you for the next step? Did you get much advice and support either about setting up on your own or finding employment – were there things in place to make the transition from academia to life after college easier? What’s been the hardest part of going from college to working life?
If you’re an academic – what facilities does your college have in place to support students after graduation? Do you offer desk space for start-ups, for example, or do you have a unit to provide support for graduates? What experience of working practices do students get to prepare for post-college life?
We’d also like to hear from employers – what do you do with new recruits in order to help them get up to speed? Do you have any programmes in place during their first month’s employment, for example? What training do you give new recruits?
More generally, how best can institutions balance academic teaching with the provision of experience of working in the industry on real jobs?

Après l’excellent projet Holga D, voici un nouveau concept de la part du designer industriel Saikat Biswas : une horloge murale sans heures ou minutes, mais qui affiche dynamiquement le temps. Un design et un mécanisme très efficace, à découvrir en vidéo dans la suite.
 | Summer, is about minimalism: minimal clothing, minimal responsibility, and minimal expenses! While summer condones wearing the same thing twice, you’ll still want a different outfit for every late-night beach and bonfire party — and if you’re looking for deals, you’re in good hands this season! Summer get-ups are as easy as slipping on a striped strapless dress or pairing some hot, baby biker shorts under a tunic! Of course, the hotter it gets, the less material necessary, so a complete look can usually be fulfilled with just one piece. Ditch the cute day-time cover-ups that are paired with sandals and a sunhat and opt for your evening bag and a nice pair of heels and you’re ready to hit the nighttime summer scene! At this point in summer’s prime, some retailers are already offering their floor-clearing deals on some prime summer going-out pieces, but the airy, inexpensive ensembles are hot enough to take care of your club cover charge and even entice on-lookers to gift your drinks! Take a peek at some seasonable, reasonably priced wardrobe additions for your summer nights! |
