Dans sa série « Commando Creative », le créatif français Mister Blick reprend de célèbres photographies de guerre pour y coller des fleurs. Les amaryllis et les tulipes remplacent les fusils et les bazookas des soldats en noir et blanc ; le drapeau américain de la bataille d’Iwo Jima devient une grande fleur rose que les guerriers érigent fièrement. Une manière poétique d’adoucir la violence et les balles grâce à quelques pétales.
The MFA in Products of Design program at SVA in New York City is holding its Information Session/Open House on Saturday, November 8th, from 1pm to 4pm. Meet faculty Ayse Birsel, Elliott Montgomery, Kyla Fullenwider, Johan Liden, Rebecca Silver, Sinclair Smith and Richard Tyson, along with current students as well as recent graduates. Tour the department and Visible Futures Lab, and preview projects from the two-year curriculum. Here’s a bit more:
Please join us for our Open House and Information Session. The MFA in Products of Design is an immersive, two-year graduate program that creates exceptional practitioners for leadership in the shifting terrain of design. We educate heads, hearts and hands to reinvent systems and catalyze positive change.
Students gain fluency in the three fields crucial to the future of design: Making, from the handmade to digital fabrication; Structures: business, research, systems, strategy, user experience and interaction; and Narratives: video storytelling, history and point of view. Through work that engages emerging science and materials, social cooperation and public life, students develop the skills to address contemporary problems in contemporary ways.
Graduates emerge with confidence, methods, experience and strong professional networks. They gain the skills necessary to excel in senior positions at top design firms and progressive organizations, create ingenious enterprises of their own, and become lifelong advocates for the power of design.
Check out all the goings on at the department goings at their site, and RSVP for the Open House/Information Session event here.

News: Italian gun brand Beretta is set to launch a hunting shotgun by Apple designer Marc Newson next month.
Marc Newson has designed a version of the double-barrelled 486 Parallelo shotgun for Italian firearms manufacturer Beretta, a company established in 1526.
Newson’s design will be released on 13 November, when the gun is officially unveiled at an event in London.
It will be a version of the existing 486 Parallelo (main image) – a 12-gauge side-by-side game gun that features a round body receiver and lavish engravings.
Beretta currently produces 1,500 weapons a day, with “sporting firearms” counting for an estimated 90 per cent of production. Its repertoire includes shotguns, pistols and rifles.
American Armed Forces and State Police Forces started using the Beretta 92 pistol series in 1985.
Firearms have proved increasingly controversial in the design world since the first 3D-printed gun was fired last year.
In May, Paola Antonelli, senior curator of design at New York’s MoMA, said the notion of design as a force for good had been upturned by the 3D-printed weapon, which London’s V&A museum acquired just months after its release.
Tech giant Apple announced that Newson had joined its design team in September. Since then the Australian designer has launched a draught beer machine for Heineken, adding to his diverse portfolio of projects – see a round-up of his work.

Design theory is all fine and good, but one of the better things that will happen during an industrial design education is when schools connect with real companies that make real things. The company gets an opportunity to see what fresh minds would do with their product line-up, and design students get real-world feedback on creating something that’s actually doable.
Case in point: The annual Zinc Challenge sponsored by InterZinc, a Michigan-based company that unsurprisingly specializes in zinc—the fourth most commonly used metal worldwide, they’re quick to point out—and asks ID students to come up with product-based uses for the stuff. “Our challenge [is] a two part zinc casting design competition,” the company writes. “The first part based on knowledge, the second on practical design.”
