Hasta La Ideas

C’è un isola in Liberia dove scimmie scappate da laboratori scientifici e sopravvissute a malattie e due guerre civili si organizzano in gang e mettono a ferro e fuoco le comunità locali. Questo scenario ha ispirato il documentario dal titolo Island of the apes e una trilogia di cortometraggi, Before the Dawn of the Apes, ambientati nei dieci anni trascorsi tra L’alba del Pianeta delle Scimmie e il suo sequel Apes Revolution – Il Pianeta delle Scimmie:
Spread of Simian Flu (Year 1)
Struggling to Survive(Year 5)
Story of the Gun(Year 10)

Esce la nuova collezione di adidas Originals sunglasses. Ogni modello porta il nome di una città così se sei uno sportivone e amante del sole ti potrebbero piacere i Malibu o i Melbourne, mentre se vuoi stare sul classico ti consiglio gli Amsterdam o i Kopenhagen.

Li trovate nei migliori store e retail del trifoglio.

Il leggendario victorinox non a caso ha fatto scuola per decenni e Key Smart funziona più o meno allo stesso modo. È ultra-resistente, leggero e sottile. Può contenere da 4 a 100 chiavi, negli accessori è disponibile anche la chiavetta USB e una versione in titanio. Lo trovate qui.

As part of our Talent Spotters series of degree show reviews, Justin Barrow, art director and founder of Supreme design and branding agency, selects his favourite projects from the Arts University Bournemouth BA Visual Communication degree show…

I am always excited to see what’s happening at the BA Visual Communication degree show at the Arts University Bournemouth and this year’s graduates didn’t disappoint. Aptly named Fridgeworthy, the students showcased a great mix of graphic design, photography, illustration and printmaking and highlighted that the future world of design is in safe hands!

The 12th Man by Stephen Flagg combines his love for football and visual communication and gives insight in the many layers of under-represented fan characteristics and reflects ‘true fans’ in a positive manner, through playful typography and familiar tactical image-making.

Lewis Bartlett‘s By Hand project is a celebration of the beauty of print, displayed though a series of posters and print plates, that showcase traditional print techniques such as relief printmaking and foil blocking, and highlight how these processes converge with new technologies.

Aizzah Hanis‘ Angry Grrrls Club Feminist zine and posters creates a space for every girl and woman in Brunei to express their thoughts and feelings about being a girl and a woman in a traditional society. Each illustration is based on the personal writings and thoughts of girls and women from Brunei and the style of illustrations reiterate the freedom that Hanis so strongly discussed within the zine.

The Farrant Avenue Project by Oliver Purrsey is a photo-documentary of his family’s experience of community street culture in Wood Green, London, as the location transitions into a contemporary, anonymous, ever-changing environment. This project is a real celebration of place, visualised through some beautiful photography and brought together in a fantastic piece of editorial.

Sam Hodgson‘s The Human Experience is a playful insight into who we are and what it is to be human through four stages; consciousness, experience, language and culture. Through type and illustrative diagrams the project visualises how we interact with each other in the modern world, using experimental folds so that we can navigate the project in our own way, encouraging us to discover our own meaning of The Human Experience.

Design studio Silk Pearce has worked with the Aldeburgh Music centre for 15 years: a landmark celebrated in an exhibition of images of the area’s distinctive landscape

River Alde

Long-term clients are often those for whom design studios do their best work – the build up of mutual trust and the ability to develop ideas over time lends itself to bodies of work that both designer and client can look back on with pride. Which is very much the case with Silk Pearce and Aldeburgh Music in Suffolk, the organisation which stages performances, educational programmes and the Aldeburgh Festival at Snape Maltings Concert Hall, the venue made famous by Benjamin Britten.

Coastal Lookout

Dovecote and Maltings

In addition to creating all the season brochures for Aldeburgh Music since 1999 (over 60 in total), the team’s design work has included: Aldeburgh Music’s corporate identity, fund-raising literature, websites, signage schemes and promotional campaigns, including that for the 2013 Britten centenary celebrations.

Full Moon over Aldeburgh

Silk Pearce at Aldeburgh Music, which opens at Snape Maltings on August 1, will feature prints of some of the most memorable images created by Peter Silk and Rob Steer of Silk Pearce for the Festival’s seasonal brochures over the last 15 years.
