Pavel Mikhailenko est un passionné de porte-avions. C’est pourquoi il nous propose une vidéo d’animation 3D centrée sur cette structure, fruit de plusieurs mois de travail. Avec une modélisation impressionnante des différents véhicules, cette création appelée « Aircraft Carrier Operation » est à découvrir dans la suite.
Dorothy, who brought us The Song Map and also The Film Map, has released its two latest prints (above) which look to celebrate colourful song titles and band names by displaying them in colour wheels that look a little like vinyl LPs…
The Colour of Song print (above, with a detail shots, below) features the titles of a whopping 576 songs including classics like Back in Black, Brown Sugar, Fools Gold, and Blue Monday, not to mention some guilty pleasures like Mr. Blue Sky, Goldfinger, and Pretty in Pink.
Above: Detail showing blue song titles, although the inclusion of Billie Jean seems a little tenuous!
Meanwhile, The Colour of Popular Music print (above, detail shots, below) includes the names of no less than 154 musical combos (and individual artists), from the glaringly obvious Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, and Orange Juice – to the more obscure Silver Apples, Black Flag and the Green Telescope.
Both prints are available to buy from wearedorothy.com/shop as signed and stamped limited edition prints for £100 and also as open edition prints for £30.

In this year’s Epica Awards (which CR helped to judge last week in Paris) a Danish film advertising the Midttrafik bus service (still, shown above) picked up the coveted Epica d’Or in the Film category. Interestingly, the film wasn’t written by an ad agency, but cooked up by the bus company with production company M2Film…
Three other campaigns also picked up Epica d’Or awards, including this press ad, Large Coffee, for McDonald’s by DDB Helsinki:
GB agency DLKW Lowe picked up a grand prix in the Outdoor category for its Pennies for Life campaign for The Microloan Foundation, a charity that encourages African women to set up their own businesses. The campaign enabled passers by to use their mobile phones to interact with a giant screen and donate their ‘loose change’ to the cause, receiving a ‘thank you’ on the billboard in return as virtual pennies cascaded to form portraits of women that have benefitted from the charity.
And Leo Burnett Detroit picked up the fourth Epica d’Or for its reverse psychology Facebook campaign to save the Troy Public Library entitled Book Burning Party:
This year Epica tell us that 3,893 entries were received from 648 different companies across 62 countries. The full list of gold winners is available to check out on the Epica website here. Silver and Bronze awards will be announced via the Epica site tomorrow.

Product news: Swedish design duo Mattias Ståhlbom and Gabriella Gustafson of TAF have created a table with an upside-down underframe for Danish producers Hay.
The Upside Down furniture by TAF for Hay exposes the wooden construction details that are usually hidden.
“The inspiration in this case was to show the handicraft that you always see when you look under a piece of furniture in a clear and obvious way,” Mattias Ståhlbom told Dezeen. “This is in order to make the product easier to understand and relate to, and the fact that it turned out to also become a constructional advantage is of course a bonus.”
The pieces are made from natural ash and come flat-packed in a range of three sizes that can be used as tables and stools. The collection is on show as part of the Cabinetmakers Autumn Exhibition at Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen until 2 November.
Other TAF products on Dezeen include a set of furniture made by prisoners, an adaptable dining table and trestles to make different furniture forms.
Photos are by Petra Bindel and TAF.

HECHEK is an electrical outlet extension which offers a simple solution to the problem of cumbersome cords. The outlet base features 3 independently rotating sockets that together form a triangle that’s perfect for wrapping excess cord around. As an added safety feature, each socket remains closed until it is rotated 90 degrees to unlock with green/red lights indicating status. Until wireless charging technology takes over, it’s a great solution for keeping things tidy.
Designers: Zohreh Pahlevan, Sina Gavili, Ghader Ebrahimian Nejad

Tom Taylor is a technologist and engineer who enjoys working “in the fuzzy space between matter and radiation,” and he’s got a neat Mac app (probably most fun for those who travel a lot for work): Satellite Eyes. The simple application changes your desktop wallpaper to a satellite photo of your current location as soon as you connect to the internet.
“It features a number of different map styles, ranging from aerial photography to abstract watercolors,” writes Taylor. “And if you have multiple monitors, it will take advantage of the full width, spanning images across them.”
Surprisingly it does not use Google Maps’ images, and unsurprisingly it doesn’t use Apple Maps’ images either; data comes from OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps and San-Francisco-based design/technology studio Stamen Design.
Best of all, London-based Taylor has made the app’s price conversion nice and easy: £0 equals $0.
Les équipes hollandaises d’Atelier010 ont réalisé ce bel objet appelé sobrement « Bookworm Chair ». Cette chaise a une forme unique, qui permet à la fois de s’asseoir confortablement, mais aussi de stocker un grand nombre de livres. Plus d’images de ce concept dans la suite de l’article.

Those of you looking for a “Smart” trackpad for your desktop computer – that being a touchpad working with gestures for the future of gesture-friendly computing – your great day has come. Here we’ve got a conceptual design for a device called “Inside Out” – one giant swoop with a keyboard on one side and a massive touchpad on the other. Simple and enticingly effective – made with OS X and Window 8 in mind, we’re sure.
Designer: Min Koo Yeo

It’s time to get in the laser-projector zone with none other than a design by the name of “Bike Zone”, complete with red beams for signaling. If you want to turn left, this beast of a light shines several arrow-looking symbols down at the ground to the left – the same is true of the right – imagine that! The only ones we worry for now are the squirrels – watch your eyes, guys!
This design creates a one-meter “safety zone” for the cyclist with lights that allow drivers at night to tell where the cyclist is going. Animated signal action makes for twice the safety and clarity in representation of direction while the whole design is contained in a tiny backpack-storage-ready container.
Designers: Frank Guo, Hung Wang, and Sturt Morrow
